My name is Kathy and today I checked out this site, signed up and am learning how it all works, so tomorrow I can start using it for my "skinny" Kathy who is trying to get out of this "fat" Kathy, ( yes it was hard to write that!) I look forward to all I can learn from this site of great people changing their lives. I am ready to change my life by losing at least 1/2 of this body,1 lb at a time. I want to be off my diabetic and blood pressure meds. I figure it took me many years to put on the weight and i'm not in a hurry to get it off. I want to lose it by healthy means. I am married for 27 years and the mom of 4 daughters. I have weddings , grandchildren and traveling in my future and don't want to miss a moment of it being sick or to large to enjoy it. I consider myself a happy, funny person who sometimes suffers from depression which I know has alot to do with my weight. I suffer it BECAUSE of my weight. I do miss out on alot as i'm afraid of the laughter and stares. But no more!!!! This is the day!!! Wishing all my new fitnesspal friend's much success. Hey did I say I am shy?

    Hi Kathy,

    I'm new here to... going on my second week and I have to say, I really enjoy this site! It's been a God send for me... I've actually lost a substantial amount over the last year and needed a boost to lose my last 20 or 30... it's already working! I wish you much success! You CAN do it! :)

    Ditto!
    This is a wonderful site and the folks here are very inspirational and supportive....I'm far from veteran status, but I utilize many of the threads and group workings here.....I must say, it has truly given me a tool that helps keep me accountable and motivated!

    Welcome Kathy! You're on the right path:smile:
