in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, my name is Misty I am 39 yrs old and I am from MO. I woke up one day weighing 240lbs not sure how it happened all I do know is I want to lose a 100lbs. I have never tried this before so it is pretty scary for me. I have a full closet full of stuff that does not fit me and I just cant bring myself to go buy bigger stuff. I pray this site helps me to become the person I so long to be

    Welcome to the site. Make sure you set lots of smaller goals to help you along. Personally I'm always looking at the next 5 pounds. I'm 152.7 right now and my next goal is 149.9, then 144.9 and on an on until I reach my goal. In all I'll hit goal 12 times when I reach my ultimate goal. Best wishes on achieving all your weight loss goals!!

    Hello and welcome! There is obviously *something* inspirational about being 39 isn't there?! (I am too)

    I recommend getting a team of friends on here (feel free to add me) - it is good to see other people exercising and losing weight on your news feed - good for motivation when you feel that everyone else is succeeding.

    Good luck!
