in Introduce Yourself
Found out about this site through a friend and decided to try it. Have tried many programs, lost weight and have always gained it back. This time, put on much more than ever before due to divorce/stress. Not eating right, trying to get through an illness this past year which still have occasional relapses from and difficulty with excercise, raising kids and not taking care of myself lead to more weight gain and now I'm ready to start. Know I feel better at my best weight which is about a size 8-10 and recently had to shop for an outfit for a holiday party. Was mortified when I couldn't get into anything but a size 18. Never have been that much before and just don't see it in photos. Not good about the scale either. What a reality check at the store. Love clothes shopping and fitting into my smaller size clothing and know I will feel better at my best weight/size. Wish me luck and best of luck to all of you who have just joined and congats to all who have been successul already.:smile:

    Feel free to add me as a friend. We are about the same size and would like to get down to about the same size too. I cant wait to shop for smaller, cuter clothes! Good luck!

    hi, i have also just joined, i tried before a few months back but i don't think i was really ready to admit i needed to change my lifestyle and food choices for good, i know from family experience that diets don't really work my mum has just had a gastric bypass (where the stomach is permanently made smaller) because she was so over weight and i really don't want to go through what she has gone through.

    i am nearly 15 stone and a size 16/18. Three years ago i was 10 stone and a size 8/10 and it has depressed me so much that i no longer want to make love to my partner, i hide in the bathroom when i have no clothes on and i would rather not go out and socialise anymore incase i bump into someone i know that i haven't seen in a while....

    I wish you all the luck with this because i really know how you are feeling.
    Maybe chatting on here might help motivate us even more... especially with christmas coming up i know i'm bound to over eat calories and feel awful about it!

    good luck! :-)
