    I have to say congratulations on choosing to live a healthier lifestyle. Committing yourself to this journey. It's going to be a rollercoaster but it's well worth it. You deserve to be happy. I would love to support you on this journey.

    I also would like to give a few suggestions. Somethings that I have experienced through out my journey. When I first started I wanted to just drop the weight. I was like it has to go now. I was so scale dependent. Along my journey it has become so much more than that. Figure out the why. Then make realistic goals and do your best to achieve them. Don't be scale dependent because the scale does not know what is going on in the body. Take before pictures and measurements. Eat as best as you can. Don't deprive yourself but don't go overboard with things you like. Just a few tips and suggestions. I wish you all the luck on your journey! You can do it!

    Hi every1 im new on here today and im just so down about my size but the more down i get the more i want to eat, i need support because the people i see in my every day life just feel the need to keep saying things like `god you have put a few pounds on` or your a big girl now what size jeans are they` its doing my head in and not helping.
