Default New here, and a bit overwhelmed...

Hey everyone! I'm Shawn, and am "coming back to the boards" - I have been a member here for several years, but have not been an active poster for quite a while... I frequent another small message board for parents of twins (not weight loss related), and the massive amount of users & posts here is a bit overwhelming... I'd love to make some friends here and become a regular!

My weight loss plan is Weight Watchers (not a member, but have all the info), and working out at the YMCA. Now that season finales of Lost, House, and 24 are over, I'm hoping to get to the gym more frequently. I had lost about 10 lbs, but go thru phases... and I've gained about 8 of that back. I have a LOOONG way to go. I see there are several groups here... the one for 100 lbs / 1 yr caught my eye.

I really hope to make some good friends here. I always need help to try to keep me in line!

Welcome back! I've not been here long but it doesn't take much to make friends and get involved. Its a great site! There is a thread for women in there 30's I like alot called 30 somethings, maybe I'll see you there. If not there is one for 20 somethings as well. Good luck!

Hi Shawn, good move on coming back for me the boards are good motivation busters. I have been in your shoes plenty of times I will lose and gain the same amount of pounds over and over again. I eat out of boredom and fustration, that is my biggest problem, now I turn to the support groups instead and they have really helped. There are plenty of groups here to fit your concerns and needs. Welcome back and good luck.
