in Introduce Yourself
I joined this last year in a bid to drop a fantastic amount of weight in preparation for a wild and crazy trip to England in May...Sadly the trip fell through in utter disaster, and when it went down in flames, so did my motivation and I put back on every single one of the nearly 60 pounds I had lost, plus some new ones.

Now that May (and most have June has passed, so has my depression and disappointment around that once-in-a-lifetime trip. I'm ready to regain the ground I lost and get my *kitten* in gear once again. And for that, I'm hoping to get motivation and support from people who are going through the same struggles I am - not the ones struggling to get that elusive thigh gap, but people who understand how hard it can be to move when you're literally carrying around another body on top of yours.

Feel free to add me as a friend - I could all the cheerleaders I can get..

Oh, and obviously, I'll be in your cheering section too! :wink:

    219? That's nothing! You got this! If you got the heart to fully dedicate yourself to this to motivate yourself to push yourself beyond the breaking point and ask for more! YOU GOT THIS! Everyday look in the mirror at yourself long and hard and say out loud these words that I hold dear...
