So I have come to the realization that I need to make some major changes in my life. I started gaining this weight about 2 years ago, and have had a steeper decline the last 12 months.

I am borderline plus sized at size 14, and these clothes are starting to feel tight and uncomfortable.
I just visited the doctor and have a BP of 138/108
I am susectible to depression and feel it creeping up on me. I have been on anti-depressants before, but found in the past that I have better mental health when I eat correctly and exercise rather than take pills.

I am really excited about starting a weight loss journey. I am tired of feeling like a cow, and am thrilled to find a community with the same goals because I know I'll need support.

Welcome!! Congrats on deciding to change your lifestyle and become healthier! I won't tell you it will be easy, but it is definitely worth it!! Good luck!

Welcome! You've made a great choice. I started my weight loss when the 14's started feeling tight. Now I'm wearing 6/8 for the first time ever. You can do it too! And you won't regret it.

Welcome! I am glad you found us here. Visit often and participate and you will find the motivation and encouragement to succeed at reaching your goals. Best wishes,

Thanks for all the great welcomes! Day 1 of the rest of my life feels good
