Hi everyone,

I'm 41 years old, married female who struggled with weight all my life. Last month, I've reached the highest weight I've ever been. For the past three weeks, I've been modifying my intake and exercising every day. Over the years, I've lost weight, only to gain it back. I hate the fact that life is going by me. At 262 lbs, its impossible to enjoy life. I'm going to change that.

Looking forward to sharing successes!

I'm new to this site as well. I've been reading many of these posts and noticed that many of us are moms with little ones. I for one know how hard it is to be healthy and work out with kids. Excuses run amuk (sp?) in my house! Would it be possible to start a weight loss group with moms? Would anyone be interested in that?

Hello, I am Virginia. Of course I am new here. I am looking forward to this new path I am taking. I tend to be inpatanit with myself, and if I don't see results I slip back into my depression which makes me eat. I am wanting to change though, so here I am.

Hello everyone,
My name is Holli. I have recently undergone some big life changes and am looking to rediscover who I am. I just had surgery on my ACL on June 12th, so I am on complete bedrest for now. I want to lose weight though while I'm down and not gain any. I figure I am just going to have to be extra cautious about what I put in my mouth. The hardest part is not eating out of boredom which is why I joined this site. I will be on here quite a bit since I literally have nothing better to do. They can't cast my foot until June 23rd so I'm hoping after I get a cast on this foot I will be a little more mobile than I am now. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello my name is Tameka and I am very inactive and an unhealthy eater. I am PHAT and FAbulous NE way no matter what size I am. .But I want my outside to match my inside.

Wow I'm so excited at all the newbies...I promise I'll be back to greet everyone personally (as always) as soon as I have a bit of time. Who would've thought with a wedding creeping up closer and closer that I'd be so busy (hardy har har).

Hi everyone! I just signed up about 20 mins ago. I am looking for some support and accountability. I created a site complete with a fatt pic but haven't figured out how to add the about me. I have 100lbs to loose. I can't believe it...I have been in such denile that I know it but still hard to believe. I am active but my knees are starting to hurt. It seems I have hit another fatt level sad to say... So I am here and being honest.. Who wants to talk?

I'm Max, 19, and need to lose at least 25lbs to be in the ideal range for my height, but would like to go down to 135. I'm doing this for many reasons, including being tired of feeling unhealthy!

Hi everyone! I just joined today and so far am really enjoying it. I actually put up my full length pic and my weight. Yikes ! But figure if I am going to do it this would be a good place. I have a 100lbs to loose. I am not trying to be skinny but would like to be athletic again. I love sports and am good at many things. I want to have a healthier life style and this is the one thing I can't seem to control. My life is great.. I need to take control of this once and for all. If I don't I worry I will just gain more. I moved from Ca to WA 10 years ago and gained 10lbs every year.. And here I am...
The time is now!

Hello everyone.
I'm Cathy, and someone alredy sent me a wish of "good luck!"..Thanks!
I'm starting with 50# and i'm not ready to post my weight yet, but i am ready to say how much i'm loosing! (hopefully). I'm on a diet to help with some health issues and to look and feel better.
I'm not sure how to navigate around this site yet, but i'll get it all figured out eventually (jenny, where are you?!) - thats my daughter, she joined this site recently and sent me the link. I cant even find her on here yet!
anyway, im' very excited to do this and think it will put a fun twist on loosing weight!
thanks and good luck to all!
