Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this site, and just wanted to begin my saying how inspirational and incredible it is to read all of your stories and hear all of your successes! There is just so much positivity and support, that has brought me HOPE! Thank you everyone!!

I have finally taken the first step and admitted to myself that I do need to lose weight, enough is enough! Procrastination can have a life of it's own sometimes, but I am at the point where there is no option but to move forward...

My goal is to lose 70lbs.... if there is anyone who is in a similar situation who would like to 'buddy up', that would be great! I could really use the motivation

Shellabella,

First off,

You have come to the right place for motivation and support! This place is great.

I have about 60 pounds to lose and just started my quest on this journey the beginning of August. It will be a grand journey with the more the merrier. I am too a procrastinator, I understand where you are coming from. We can do this.

I am new to this site as well. I have been on the weight loss journey for about 4 years. I am with Weight Watchers and I find it to be a great program. I just have to "do the program" and it will work for me. I get lazy and procrastinate-I have put off exercising much and I know I need to do that ! Maybe the help of yet another group of like-minded folks can give me that boost that I need. I need to lose about 55 pounds! Thanks for allowing me into you rnew group!

Hello,
I would like to buddy up as well. I've been lurking on this site for a couple days and find it very inspirational. The "before" and "after" pictures are incredible. I see myself in pictures lately and it makes me want to cringe.

I'm trying to lose weight the old-fashioned way - eat less, exercise more. What are the rest of you doing?
