Hi!!

hagness

I am so glad to have found this website. I have tried in the past to lose weight......the problem was, I was afraid to admit that I was trying...because I always went in knowing I would fail....so I would never tell anyone....this time is different. I am not going to fail....I will succeed....I know I have finally had enough....I am not fooling myself or anyone else....just being the jolly fat girl. I love my life and everyone in it. I have a wonderful and supportive boyfriend who loves me no matter what the scale says....I have a loving family......I have a great job and great friends......I just want to enjoy it all at a healthier weight. :drinker:

Welcome! I joined for the same reasons! I have the best boyfriend and daughter one could ask for. He supports me so much and my friends have been majorly supportive as well. That helps make the process such a success! You also have to be in that mindset that you will NOT fail. So KUDOS to you! All of my friends are on here and they are really motivating me to succeed and I am motivating them to succeed as well. My friend MarytheIcecube has the motivational group and it's really good to go to on those days you dont think you can keep going.
