hi-
I am new to this and I am looking for some support. I am trying to lose weight and I dont have any group close to go to.
I am trying to do this on my own and have done ok so far but there are days when I ask myself Why and How could I do this
to myself.
Thanks
Becky

Hi Becky,Welcome to the TOPS board.If you do not have a group near by you will get motivation and weight loss tips here.Keep reading the post and you know you could even think about starting a group in your area. TOPS is a support group and you only need 2 or 3 people to get started.But come here often and we will be glad to be your support system.
We all a group from all over the US and Cananda.But all with that common thread of struggling to lose weight.We have our good days and our bad days.But we always know we are not alone.We all ask ourselves how and why we ended up this way. But we also know as long as we don't give up we can lose our weight and get healthier

Hi Eleni-
Thanks for the welcome. I will be checking often. I know that I will make it to my goal
weight, the winter months here are the worst for me. I have two boys 4 and 2. Actually
today was the first time in a very long time that I felt comfortable being on a sled. I have lost 53lbs,
so far and have about 60 more to go.

keep up your good work....and good luck at your tops meeting.

Hi Eleni-
How did you make out at Tops Last night? I hope that you are having a good day....Becky

Becky-I did ok at TOPS.I lost 1/2 #. Have you been to the Bio thread.Let us know more about youself.And yes it is overwhelming sometimes when we have so much to lose.
This is one of best boards around with a lot of caring and concerned ladies all with a common goal

Hi Becky,

I am so glad that you finally decided to join us. You are doing great.
I know that some days are hard. We all have those days. Just take a deep breath and step back and take things one step at a time.
It is a lifestyle change and this is forever. If you fall off one day just get back on track the next. Sorry I haven't written to you in awhile. I have been thinking of you though.

Things have been very busy here also. Isn't it a great feeling to do things that you haven't been able to do before. That is great that you went sleigh riding with the boys. I am sure you all had a great time.

Keep up the great work and don't forget to think thin and positive and stick with us and you will reach your goal.
