Smile Another New One!
Hi all!
I'm new here too. I started dieting in January, with the help of my local hospital's lose-to-win challenge, which involves bi-weekly weigh-ins with a registered dietician. I started at 256, and have lost 41 pounds to date! I had a minor setback this weekend with my daughter's 5th birthday party - surrounded by goodies- but am back on track this week. Just looking for some dieting support and tricks to help me continue to be successful.

Wow, sounds like you are doing great!

Just don't let one little set back rule! Keep the positive attitude and just get back on the straight and narrow. Don't let one day of being lax rule the rest of the way.

You can do this!

Lost 41 pounds, that's great!! I'm new too, and in the past I've always let setbacks ruin the fun, but I'm determined to get back on track! Monday is always a good day to start

Hi inkblots217! Congrats on the weight loss so far - sounds like you're on your way to meeting your goal!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.


So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
