Hi Everyone,

I just found this forum and I'm really excited about it. I'm already on my way to my 80 lb goal. I've lost 8 lbs so far and I feel great about it! I'm walking and lowering my calorie intake and it's working well for me.

I hope to find encouragement and friends here.

Thanks.

Anybody? LOL

Congrats on your weight loss! I wish you the best!!!

Hi Tirzah and , you've come to a great place for support. Congratulations on losing 8 lbs, that's a great start. I lost 30 lbs a few years ago on WW selection plan and did a good job at keeping it off but had some stress in my life and gained it all back in a few months (plus I quit smoking 5 months ago which didn't help me) but I am determined to get the weight off again. Post often so we can get to know you.

Hugs...

Welcome, Tirzah. I was so excited the day I found this forum too. I can still remember the exitement. I was flying!

"...which didn't help me" ?????? I KNOW you didn't mean it to sound that way. Of course it HELPED you. Congratulations on quitting smoking! You'll get the weight off too in time. Meanwhile to you!

Thanks girls! I appreciate the welcomes and encouragement.

I walk about 25-45 mins, depending on how much time I have to do it!
