Hi all, today is day one for me on the road to weight loss. My husband snapped some pictures of me riding one of our horses yesterday and I about died when I got a look at myself. :-O I'm a little in panic mode right now but am determined to keep my dieting healthy. I do have a thyroid condition and gained about 20 lbs. when I was off meds for about a year. I'm back on medication now but losing the weight is harder than I thought it would be. I know cutting daily calories will be a struggle for me and I'm really looking for some support from others going through the same thing.

    Welcome and good luck! Today is day #1 (AGAIN!:ohwell: ) for me as well. I really let myself go through the holiday season and regained 6 of the pounds I had lost. I also got a good look at myself in some family photos over the holidays. I DID NOT like what I saw. Hang in there. Slow and steady is the best way to go and we're all here fighting the same battle. You are not alone.

    We can all do this together. This time next year we will be singing a different song.
