Default Let's Get This Party Started!
Hi Everyone!

I'm Melissa, and I am here to make new friends and help encourage people! Oh, and lose some weight, too! I have been struggling with my weight since Junior High. I did start to lose some weight a few years ago, but I gained it back (and then some).

I'm trying really hard to look at this whole journey much differently this time. It's so easy to get discouraged when the scale doesn't say what you want it to say or you go off plan. I have decided that I am going to be oozing with positivity- to the point that it drives everyone around me bonkers- to see if that helps keep me in the right frame of mind to make the journey all the way to the end.

I wish you all good luck! We got this!

Great party attitude, Melissa! I believe that party energy is good for both mind and body!

Are you ready yet to put your starting weight, current weight, and goal weight in your profile? Everything I've read says that it helps to tell other people about your plans...

Good luck, and keep posting every day!

Wow you are really challenging me there! I know I should... I just worry someone I know will see this and then know my weight. I mean, they can all tell I've gotten bigger, but I don't think they realize just how big. And while I don't mind telling a bunch of strangers on the internet my weight, I am really uncomfortable telling it to people I know... Do you think it would be a bad idea to wait a while and then post it? Like after I have already made some progress?

Okay Fiona, I was thinking more and more about what you said. And you were totally right- I needed to add that info to be accountable. So it's there, in all of it's (horrible) glory. Now to work hard and stay on track so that ticker can keep moving down!
