in Introduce Yourself
I’ve been on this site, rather compulsively everyday for the past 37 days and haven’t posted until now. I’ve never replied to anything on a chat room, or thread before in my life and it kinda freaks me out a little bit. However, I thought it was time to stop lurking about, reading everyone's great advise, success stories and motivational tips and start participating myself. It’s a BIG step for me.
This is the absolute longest I have stuck with any kind of lifestyle change program and certainly the healthiest I have been in years. I really am learning so much about nutrition and fitness and can’t believe how fun/addicting this all can be! So, in the spirit of becoming an active person in all aspects of my life and giving new things a try, I thought I would introduce myself. Hello everybody!

    Hello there! Welcome to our wonderful community! Congrats on your seven pound weight loss, and kudos for finally getting up the courage to make a post in the forum. Don't worry--we won't bite :) I agree with you totally on the fact that this site is so fun and very addicting. I'm pretty sure I spend more time on here than I do on Facebook these days--and that's saying a lot! Everybody here is just so friendly and supportive. I wish I had friends like these in real life, ya know?

    Hi. I'm the same way. I guess that's why I haven't added a pic yet. Oh well. At least we are here and learning and inspiring each other. :happy:

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one, thanks for your post (if thats what you call it). I have never been into a chat room or the like either, and yes, its a tad scarey. All I can say is,

    Welcome.

    And do I need to sign off? I guess I will just hit 'post reply' and find out
