Hello everyone, I am here because I am a BIG believer in support and not going it alone. I quit smoking with a web based site and don't know if I could have done it with out that!
I start Weight Watchers this Saturday (that's when the local meeting is)
I am 55 and 264? pounds. I will know sure weight when weighing in Sat.
I just had right knee surgery for a torn meniscus. Then just as my knee is to where I can use it again I acquired a pulled muscle on right side. So depressed.
I know my weight plays a big part in this. I just am glad this site is here! I will be using it!!!

Good luck in your weight loss journey. You can do this!

Welcome, FatOffForGood! MAJOR KUDOS to you for quitting smoking and good luck with your next goals.

This is my first day here. I can always use some support. It certainly isn't easy loosing weight and I have been at it for years. I cant complain, I have lost over the years and I do realize this is something we need to train ourselves to live. I like to be active and it will only get easier as I continue to loose.
