Intro, Im new :)

Hi! Im Emily and Im going to be 30 in about a week....... less than a week actually... ugh. Lol that being said Ive been putting off a major surgery for a minute now because i havent lost the weight I need to lose to have it done. Ive decided im way over due for getting on the ball and this time Im going to do it. My awesome friend Charmaine introduced me to this site and so far its definitely made a difference... last night for example I wanted cookies and milk, not because i was hungry but because I was bored. I looked up the caloric value and decided against it, it just wasnt worth it. I have about 256 lbs. to lose, and Im exercising and trying to eat right, lord lets hope this works. :)

    I wanted to say hello, and welcome. We're already friends so we can skip that step! We also have about the same to lose so we'll be here for a while. Thanks for inviting me! I'm glad you're here :o)
  • Hey Kitten! Im glad Im here too, thanks again for the warm welcome.... losing this much is no joke, and Im glad to have people that understand what a struggle it can be to lose this much.

    Glad to have you. There will be ups and downs, so don't let the 'downs' get to you. Progress not perfection!
