Hi Guys!!!

I'm new here and I started my diet about a month ago. I'm having a rough time with my diet because I'm always around my friends who don't care about their weight (which is great if you have that "I don't care attitude!) Since they don't care, they always eat around me and just basically don't show me their support. I found this website when I was looking for some tips on dieting and was so excited!!!

What I want is simple. Just a group of people that I can talk to while I try to reach my goal and actually understand what I am going through and how hard it is.

Can't wait to hear from you guys!

Hi CoolFatChik!



Sounds like you have come to the right place! This is a FANTASTIC site with so many inspirational stories and thousands of inspirational people! The wonderful thing is that since there are so many on the site, there's someone or a number of someones who are experiencing what you are experiencing at the same time!

Come around often, post when you want, check out the AMAZING goals and mini-goals picture albums, and ENJOY!

You can do this!

Hello Fellow Newbie!

I can relate to being around folks who can eat everything and do! - It plays on your mind. I had a recent revelation that may assist you too. I finally got that it is only up to me to do what needs to be done in order to be fit and thin. It's all about me - and nothing about them. It's a funny thing - but as soon as I began feeling empowered remembering that my goal was totally about something that I have complete control over - and not about something that someone was doing to me; it has made things a lot easier on me.

I will restate what Cheryl just said " YOU can do this!"

I know that I am inspired by what I read in this forum. It's wonderful to read what IS possible.

Welcome!
