I am starting my weight loss journey and I know I'm going to need a lot of support and encouragement. I am approximately 100 lbs overweight and it's starting to affect every aspect of my life. I chose the Medifast program as it seems to fit my lifestyle the best. I think that writing about my journey will help me .....even if no ones reads it. I would love to hear some encouraging words and possibly find a few people who will help me stay on track. I am in it to win it (or lose it, in this case) but I don't want to do it alone.
