I am new to the site, ready to make some changes in my life and start taking care of me as much as I take care of everyone else... I have always struggled with my weight, but I lost my Mom suddenly in March and have turned to food for comfort, adding 30lbs. I stepped on the scale a couple of days ago to see 202.4lbs. I've never in my life weighed this, not even 9 months pregnant. I cried. And then I decided to change. So here I am, looking for support, encouragement , information.... Success.
Looking forward to meeting new friends.... who understand. =)

    Welcome and good luck. I have 100 pounds to loose and could use all the support I can get. There's strength in numbers. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can get through this together.

    Hi, I totally understand. I have to take antidepressants to make me feel good about myself. The sad thing is I'm only about 14 lbs over my ideal weight but it just won't budge.

    I'm trying to come off the tablets because they are giving me terrible side-effects but the more down I get the more I want to eat - its a viscious circle.

    Good look.
