Hi there, this is the first thread. I just started and am setting up. I don't exactly know if this is going to work. or how it works for that matter. I have read some of the journals and entries and this looks like what I need.

i just joined a few minutes ago, too. trying to remain optomistic, since i am desperate to loose the weight for good this time.

good luck to you!!!
if you need someone to chat with or anyhting let me know.

You can get great advice and support here.

Hi everyone, I just joined. My goal is to lose 38 pounds but this time for good. If someone wants to talk write me. Good Luck everyone!

Welcome y'all!!!! This is such a great place. Everyone here knows what you're dealing with, and you can get awesome support! I think the inspiration of these great ladies (and a few men) are what is keeping me on track with this! Good luck to ya!

Hi and Rosy E, Shawnamom and Joanna!!

Its a great site!
Here is a little for all of you!

HI! I just started too! Haven't a clue exactly what I'm doing but I do know that I'm doing something! I'm determined not to greet one more birthday weighing more than I did the last!

Yet another newbie!

I'm seventeen and I've been overweight pretty much my entire life but I've kind of progressed from "chubby" to "fat" over the past three or four years and I've decided that I want to do something about it now while I'm still young. Right now the goal I have in mind is 150, but depending on how I look once I get there, I may aim for 130 or 125.

Hi all...You came to the right place. I've been here since March, and I don't know exactly "how" it works either, but it DOES.

I think it is like a cult....they brainwash you into coming here every day and talking about losing weight. As soon as you log on to this site the first time, I think they put something in your water system so you MUST COME BACK..you MUST!

It's working for me and if it works for me, it will work for ANYBODY.

Welcome to all the new people. Wishing you all a successful weight loss journey. Congratulations on finding this site and getting started. I know you will love it. The help is great and very contagious.

Welcome, newbies! This site is fantastic - you'll get so much support and advice here yo help you on your way. Good luck to all of you, and I'm sure I'll see your posts on the success boards soon!
