    Hi to all!! Must start off by saying that it is a motivator to read that others are in the same boat, by reading it looks like some of us have been dieters for a long time and now wanting to make a change. I am a single mother of a teenage daughter that was thankfully blessed by her fathers genes and is a 5'8 123lbs, yes a little sickening. I reside in Atlanta, GA and hope that some of you are in the area. For as long as I can remember I have been on one type of diet or another for over 15yrs I think and in the last few weeks don't know exactly what happened but its like a switch got turned, I have been dilligent about logging and working out and am going to need all the support I can to get thru this, I'm hoping that the motivation I have know sticks for a while. I am looking to lose 50lbs and get into the 120's, seems extreme as I don't ever think i've seen the scale there. lol!! Seeing some of the pics here is definitely inspirational and ready to embark on this journey with all of you.

    Inspirational Quote: Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't." (Trying to remember this everytime I feel like stopping:smile: )

    LET'S DO THIS!!

    EVERYONE PLEASE ADD ME, THANK YOU

    I need some friends to keep me motivated and chat with. I'm Debra, live in Dallas, Texas and I am 56 years old. I didn't really get started in trying to get into a healthier space until 55. Working out once a week with a trainer and then a couple times a week on my own. Anyone looking for friends, please add me. Thanks.
