Hello everyone, my name is Karen. I'm 23 and I live in Maryland. I was recently told my my doctor that my health is at risk if I don't take control of my weight. That was a wake up call for me. So I found this wonderful site and I hope to make friends while I lose weight. I'm excited about meeting new people and hearing your stories. It is really motivating.

Hope to hear from you guys and I hope everyone's goals are realized.

    Good morning, Karen!

    Welcome to the site. I know you're gonna love it--I do!

    Lauren is right; you should read some of the old posts. I'll try to find them and "bump" them to the top. There is so much good information in them.

    Bumping is replying to a post so that it comes to the top of the message board. Like Lauren, I don't know how to give you the links. Get me outside of a very narrow parameter, and I'm lost on a computer! lol

    Best of luck to you, and we're here for you!
