* I just joined this group today.*I*have been taking a look around. I am*very excited that perhaps I have found a great site. *I have had a weight problem all my life.* Actually, with hard work I kept my weight under control until *I quit smoking.* Then I have gained weight and gained weight until I gained over 100 pounds.**So I started smoking again.* Well I quit again in June.* I am 100+ days without smoking but guess what I have gained 16 lbs.***I figured I have traded one addition for another...*cigarrettes for food.*So I am determined to make it my mission over the next couple of years*to get active, get in shape*and loose the weight I have gained.* I am going to need all the help I can get.* I have signed up at the Wellness Center at work and have started walking.* I have a very busy lifestyle but I think I need to step back and refocus on my health and loosing the weight.*One thing is lacking is I need to talk to people*that are going through the*same thing I am.*I think this site will be most helpful.*
I am married with one child still at home.* He is 16 and he will be the death of me.** My other son is 27 and* I will be a grandmother in March.* I am really excited about that.
I look forward to getting to know you.*

Welcome Susan!!
I'm Angie and I'm also from Missouri. This group is the best one you could join for support. We've got some wonderful people here and we give (and get!!) the best support I've ever found on my journey. I'm glad you're here!
Hugs,
Angie

Me too...welcome.* Like Dawnie and Angie said....there's no better place to get support.* We laugh together, and at each other.* And we cry on each others shoulders.* And we vent...not just diet woes, but family, work and anything else that stress and/or upsets us.* Check the forum posts, read blogs and make comments, and don't forget to keep your own journal and look for comments on it.
