Red face Newbie!
Hi Everyone,...

Just a short 'hello', introducing myself here.
I'm Kathy and I'm overweight! That's why I'm here!
I've been motivated here the last few months to REALLY kick my behind into gear and lose my extra weight. I'm glad to have found you all.
I'm currently really heavy and need to find people that will be in support of my efforts. So hope you all will allow a newbie in your mist!!
Looking forward to discussions and any tips.
I'm involved with my local TOPS chapter, we sure have fun there.
I'd recommend anyone to hook up with your local chapter.
It's inexpensive and you can find great support there.

Hope to see you lighter!
Kathy

thin4life is my goal, it's not a diet, it's a journey!

Welcome!

You'll like it here. This is a great website for support and information. I am not at TOPS anymore because of work scheduling conflicts. But I enjoy coming here as often as I can!

Kathy Welcome o the board.Altho I haven't been here as much as I would like I am also very haevy like yourself.I understand the problems that go along with being so overweight. This is a great board and "my girls" will make you feel welcome always.
I will try to get back here later today.Have to get ready for art class. I enjoy it but not sure I am learning what I want to learn. Learning to reproduce is great but I want to draw whatever I see.I am just too impatient.I want everything yesterday. Later

Welcome Kathy!
I'm new to the board myself and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

I belong to a local TOPS chapter also, but I need daily accountability, along with my weekly one, so I'm really excited to be here with everyone.

I think the years motto for TOPS is "Hand in Hand"? That's what were are to each other, a helping hand!

Together WE CAN!
Susie

Welcome to our group!! I don't get to post much as I have to from work. I was down anopther lb this week so that makes 3.5 in the last 2 weeks. I am following plan right on this week and journalling all my food every day. It does work and I do feel better about myself when I do it this way because I know that even if I don't lose that week, it wasn't for lack of trying. I'll write more tomorrow again!

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to check in and say I'm down a total of 30lbs.
I started on 3/15/04, not to bad! I'm jazzed.
Tho last week did everything right and gained a 1lbs.
That just stinks, not sure why it happened.
Anyone have this happen to them?????

Take care, see you lighter!
Kathy
