I am reading "3 Fat Chicks on a Diet: Because We're All in It Together", and have decided I really do need some more support (my husband is great, but he likes to remind me that I am beautiful...a good thing, but I need some realism here too :-) -- I am not doing any of the fancy diets, I am just trying to cut down on the sugars, and to watch my portions.

I know that exercising is the real key for me, so, I guess I need to start!

Hope to offer my support to others in the same boat!!

Hi innae!
The book has led you to the right place - sounds like you're on track and ready to get started - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

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 and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

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 since last fall, 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

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

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
