Hello Everyone,

I have been using this site as motivation since I started my journey to a healthier life on 10/20/07. I have read from the sidelines for a while and really appreciate the positivety that is generally the rule on this site. I am a recent new father and am so happy that even my small progress to date has resulted in a "real life" change in my life. I am able to play more with my child and I enjoy her more as a result. She is truly a blessing in my life. My motivation is simple...I WANT TO LIVE BETTER! I DESERVE TO LIVE BETTER! AND I WILL LIVE BETTER! Surrounding yourself with successful people is the surest way to insure success and thats why I am here. Thank you all and I look forward to getting to know you all....

I have also found this site to be filled with positive people! Congratulations on your weight loss so far, that is a tremendous achievement with a new little one at home! I have a one-year-old and they are good motivation for sure. Welcome!

Hey Takingback...

Congratulations on your successes so far...that's incredible!

We have lots of groups here...chats by amount to lose, like the 300 plus or 100 lb clubs, chats by age, chats by plan...so find a spot or several and keep posting.

I can't wait to hear more from you soon!
