I used to be thin...it used to be easy...I haven't been thin for years now. I hate the way I look. I am getting to the point that I don't want to go out in public because I am embarassed about the way I look. I need to do something, but it seems so overwhelming. Of course my husband says "just lose weight". He doesnt get it ....

Men just don't get it. Snoop around and you'll find lots of support here.

Well, you're certainly in the right place!

What sort of plan are you looking to follow? We have support groups for a wide variety of plans. We also have groups by age range, amount to lose, and a whole lot of other variables, so look around! Then find a spot or many, jump in, and get to posting.

"Weight Loss Support" forum is a good place to start with general questions, or look in more specific forums for guidance on certain areas (for exercise, by plan, etc).
