Well, here it is... My first post. I've been lurking here for a week or two now, reading posts. Trying to decide if/when I should introduce myself.

Three years ago, I worked hard and lost 55 lbs. I've sinced gained back 60lbs, after swearing I wouldn't. The confidence and pride I felt has disintegrated with each pound I've gained back, yet I'm still shoveling in food.

Today is the day where I am saying "enough is enough". I want the healthy, active, happy life that I had back.

I'm a 27 yr old, married for nearly 6 years. I don't have any kids
(but, boy do I want some!). I'm currently at a bit of a crossroads in my life in a few different ways.

I need someone who will kick me in the behind, when I'm down, and doesn't mind if I do the same for them. I have serious motivation issues.

If you wanna buddy up, let me know. It truly does not matter to me if you have 20 lbs or 100 lbs to lose. We all have our work cut out for us. Anyways, if you want to help, or be helped, motvation-wise... I'm your girl!!

Welcome!

I will be more than happy to to get you motivated and I hope you to help me stay motivated and reach my goal. And once I reach goal, cheer me on to help me to maintain. I have reached goal before and didn't have a plan in place to maintain. So here I am again losing.

Not only can we but we can also one another on to success.

LadyTyger, to 3FC. I think you'll find that your motivation will come back full force once you start posting regularly. Are you following any particular plan or just 'doing it on your own'? Whatever the case may be, I wish you lots of success and

I post over on the "Weighty Issues" thread in the Support Group Forum. You're welcome to check us out there. We're a bunch of gals from all over the states, even from Japan and Australia. Come on over as we always welcome new faces. I've got another 47 lbs to lose which I hope to do with the help of WW. I started out at the same weight as you, with almost the same story--losing then re-gaining it again...but with the help of the ladies on the thread, and others at 3FC, I've managed to start taking control of my weight again. I hope you can come and visit and maybe we can help you reach your goals too.

Thanks for replying, alwaysbelieve and noelle. I appreciate it so much! You both are doing so GREAT on your wieght loss!! It is truly wonderful. I checked out the "weighty issues" thread noelle, I think you can plan to see me there!

I am feeling more motivated by the second today!

Welcome and good luck with your lifestyle change. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.
