I just signed up today and am learning my way around. I thought this would be the best place to start.

I've been struggling with my weight going up and down for years and am ready to work hard and get myself to a healthy weight forever. Last year at this time I got myself 10 pounds away from my goal,and then I lost control again and gained 20 back. :noway: I can't seem to stop kicking myself and have to get a grip, put my nose to the grindstone, and be proactive instead of whining about it.

This site seems like the perfect tool for me right now and I look forward to getting to know all of you.

    You've taken one of the most important steps.. realizing what happened and how you can change it.
    Don't kick yourself in the butt too hard. You are now going in the right direction. Think of that past experience not as a failure but more that you lost the weight before so you know you can do it again.

    I am pretty new around here too and found the people friendly and alot of great tips and advice.
