Default Coming out of lurkdom (eep!)
Hi, everyone! I began my weight loss journey in July 2010 and signed up here in August--and I've been lurking ever since! I'm kind of shy, and every time I've been tempted to speak up, I've stifled myself with the excuse that I haven't introduced myself yet. So I'm removing that excuse.

I've found these boards to be a terrific resource for weight loss info, and I'm beginning to peek more at the maintenance board, as I slowly get nearer to my goal weight. Good luck & good health to us all!

Welcome!

Good for you! I know that it is hard to take that first step and actually post something. This is a great community with lots of support.

Hi,
Your doing so well with your weight loss- well done.
I know exactly how you feel about introducing yourself.
I have just joined and have spent the last hour trying to think of something to say.
Here's hoping we both can find it easier after writing a few posts

Thanks, serenityh and MIMI 193, and congrats on your losses as well! Much to my surprise, serenityh, I've become a fan of exercise, too, over the last year.

Thanks, Sho Sho. Good luck with your journey, and good luck in figuring out what to post, haha.

Thanks, Lilian, and congrats on your 34! That imposing scale in your sig looks like Accountability with a capital A to me.
