I have been dieting for over twenty five years and just get heavier. Recently, I was convicted to make several lifestyle changes. I have attempted to change several things but tend to lose resolve after a few days. I've never had a diet buddy before and think this would be an asset. I'd like to help someone else too. Encouragement and accountability is what I think is a necessity for me.

welcome

I think that's why we're all here--support. I'm new to this too, and already it feels great to know that people are there for me when I need them, it feels great to know that people are routing for me, even if I can't hear them until I log on.
Before I tried finding some support, I didn't think it would really help all that much. And now, just two days later, I can't believe I waited as long as I did. But I'm so glad I finally came to my senses.
Welcome, and best of luck.
By the way, where is Port Clinton?
