Hello all!! Wow - so happy to have found this site!! I, along with my buddy kirbyjbj, are new here! I found the site and encouraged her to join. We work together, so we're lucky to have Mon-Fri encouragement and support for each other. However, you can never have enough encouragement, support or buddies!! I have read thru some success stories, and hope to become one some day! I also can't wait to skim thru the recipe section, as I loooooooove to cook!!

I'm 44 and have spent my life overweight. I went from the 'fat bald baby' in the nursery, to the chubby elementary kid, to the heavy set high schooler to a full blown overweight adult. I'm done hating myself - I'm done sitting around being unhappy - and I'm done putting myself 2nd!

I'm also new to message boards!! Hope I didn't bore everyone!!

This is gonna be an excellent journey!!!

    Hi! You are going to love this site! You can add me...I've been on here almost 6 weeks and only have one chubby-buddy (don't mean to offend..that's what we call ourselves!!!). Having a support group really helps! Here's to seeing less of you on here! (get it? LESS of you because you are going to lose weight. Hehe.)

    So Many Newbies! Glad to know I'm not alone. I joined this site to try and get past this plateau I seem to be on. I need some words of encouragement. I also have a huge battle with Chocolate! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
