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.)

    I've been at this a month and ALSO have one of those "I wish it were 1981" pictures. Really wish I could go back though - and never get to this point. Welcome! :flowerforyou:

    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
