Default Another Newbie here...

Hello all~
I have been enjoying reading your posts. I happened across this site in a search as well and am so glad I did. Never have I listed my weight but am ready to get it off. Watched Oprah yesterday and it really heightened my anxiety about my weight. I need to get on with my life and get this weight off. My highest was 348 about 11 years ago so I haven't been getting it done and off. Appreciate all the inspiration. Looking forward to the journey with all of you.

It can be hard putting your weight down in black and white. I know for myself I hid from that number for so long that it took me awhile to really "own" it. Please join us in the numbered chat threads - that is where most of the action happens!

Glory - Welcome!! What was on Oprah that inspired/scared you?

I also didn't like listing my weight at first especially when it ticked over the 300 mark, but here I don't mind so much.

I too am new at this and couldn't see myself posting my weight . I guess it's me not wanting to face just how big I have truely gotten . I admire each and every one of you . I hope to be able to face and put an end to my issues with weight. It has taken over my life for so long and I feel that it's time to take it back and just maybe I will make a few friends along the way .
