Hey everyone, I'm back again. WOW...again..this time is for real and I have to do what I said I'm going to do. If I don't I will see an early grave. I am 24 weight 224 height 5'2. You name it, it runs in the family on both sides. Should be enough to scare me right? No. I have never weighed this much and I don't want to weigh this much either. I started feeling the effects of this weight gain really started feeling it last week, getting heartburn from H**L, not be able to breathe, can't walk up the steps to my apartment without running out of air. SO i have decided that either I do something about the weight or i meet an early grave with this weight still on. It sounds harsh what i am saying but it is the truth and sometimes the truth scares us and/or it hurts in my case i have been scared by the truth. So, Here I go again...on my own...no not on my own I know that there is support on here and my Husband is joining me with this journey again. Oh, by the way my name is CRYSTAL!!

Hi Crystal!
It sounds like you're ready to start - YOU CAN DO THIS - good luck with your goals!

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 - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
