Hi there, everyone!
I am so excited to have been directed to this site by a good friend of mine! I have had weight issues my whole life, as have most of my close relatives. I must say, EVERYTHING I have seen on this site is absolutely fantastic! I have read a few messages and set up my account, and the reason I am so impressed is....everyone's messages are so supportive! Never have I come across a site with such dedicated and supportive people (trust me, I been on a few sites).
I very recently had a full-mouth extraction (talk about adding insult to injury, fat AND toothless!) so I FINALLY have decided this is going to be my REAL starting point! Getting my teeth out provided me a great motivation...I could (and still can) only eat very soft foods (i.e. yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce, etc.) and there by was forced to avoid my normal culprits, massive amounts of very high fats and carbs. On top of my terrible eating habits, my excercise habits were non-existant. But not anymore!!
I am totally dedicated to this new way of eating and exercising, and hopefully it works for me. I really am happy to be here, and the best of luck to everyone!
