Hi Natalie!

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!

Hi Natalie,

Welcome. I'm new too.

The forums here are so extensive, it's hard to know where to start. I decided to continue to read everywhere...as I'd been doing long before I joined in...and to focus my posting on this introduction area, in the area for my specific diet (which happens to be Atkins) and also in one other area where a particular member had touched my heart, I guess, and I wanted to give her support (even though that particular forum/area really doesn't apply to me). And I've stuck with those 3 areas...so I don't get myself confused...until I sorta learn the ropes and get comfortable here. And once I get more accustomed to posting here...I'll venture out into posting in more forums and possibly joining some specific groups and challenges.

Also, the active membership here is unbelievable. I've never seen a message board with SO many active members. It's going to take me some time to get to know people here.

There's a ton of helpful info here, especially in the stickies. This site is amazing.
