in Introduce Yourself
Hi all!
While not new to the site I'm new to the community portion of this site. The set up of this site is turning out to be infinetely helpful. I don't think I can remember a point in my adult life when I haven't been struggling with my weight. My weight has a tendency to yo-yo and I'm hoping that by using this place to track my progress and food choices I can end that trend.

I have a long way to go and know that I need help with it. at only 27 I'm at risk for so many things that can be avoided if I can drop the pounds. I'm hoping I can find my own little cheerleaders that I can support too. I've tried too many times to do this on my own and failed. Time to try a new way. I have high goals and look forward to meeting them.

    Hi and welcome to the community. I still consider myself a bit of a newbie.

    Like you, I have always struggled with my weight, feel like I've tried everything, have lots of risk factors, and have a looooooooong way to go. Feel free to add me. I find that I am the most motivated by trying to be an encouragement to others.

    Congrats on making the decision to make a forever change in your lifestyle! :)
