Hi all,
Wow, I am so happy I found this place. I'm currently 23 and I weigh 137 lbs. I want to get down to 115/20. A little while ago I did the South Beach and lost about 15 lbs and gained it ALL back when I went back to college.
But I am really going to loose it and keep it off this time. I feel really inspired by what I have read so far!!!!
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!
