Kinda scared to post but don't want to do this alone.

I'm not one for forums, or personally contributing online at all, but right now my weight is making me feel so miserable that I know I need to do something about it.
Past experience has shown I can't do it alone, but I'm hoping perhaps I can do it with the support of others in the same position?
So, I guess this is a request for 'pals' as the site says!

I understand the aversion to posting, I'm more of a lurker on most websites typically
But everyone on here that I have encountered is supportive and eager to help - they've all been where you have been. We're friends already, but feel free to drop me a message if you ever need anything!

Take things on the forum with a grain of salt. People can be jerks. But there's a lot of nice people out there, too.

I'm right there with you...never have done any online posts, but I've decided I will be more successful with support from others, and would like to help others if I can. Add me as friend if you'd like.0

Can anyone give advice about losing weight to someone who is a secretary and sits for 10 hours a day.0

Add m. Like yourself, I am afraid to post. But also like yo, I also know I can't do this all by myself. So if there is anybody out there who would like to add a noob, then go ahead and add.0

Welcome aboard, I've only recently started posting here myself, though I am not shy about participating in forums, just had never ventured this way before.
Oh, and I'm another biker trolling the forums too! lol . Welcome again. Feel free to add if you need a pal. Goes for anyone else too.0 -

I'm a little scared too, but I'm determined. I've got a long road ahead of me to get where I want. I, also, know from past experience I can't do this alone. Maybe we can help each other.0

Add me if you wish, I log on every day, and am in UK but opposite end of the country, but at least you may recognise the foods and shops 0

Oh, sweetie. We don't bite *that* hard.
Or ever.
Because biting is bad. *nods*0 -
You can add me -- I've been on MFP for a year or better now - but just started using again yesterday -- need to lose weight - so that is my New Year's resolution.0

Stay away from the message boards. Use them like a pond, to search for the good fish. Some of the fish lurking around get a kick out of arguing, scrutinizing, "teaching", and some are just downright hurtful. I clean up my friends list often, and over the past 3 years, I've built a group of people that I can depend on to support me. And I try to do the same for them! Good luck!0

Request sent. I need motivation too, so hopefully we can help each other 0
-
I understand...we are not meant to be alone-so keep motivated and check in... I just joined and will need lots of help too. 0

Welcome, and yes MFP is AWESOME!! You will be amazed at how supportive people are and truly want to help you achieve your goals! The best advice I can give you is do what works for you. Find something that makes you feel better, that fits into your schedule or you can mold your schedule around, and do something you enjoy. As far as diet, don't go extreme. This is a lifestyle change, not an overnight fix. There are things out there that can get you started and really give you that boost where you drop the weight quickly, but eventually it will level off and you get stuck. I know this from personal experience : (
