edited September 2024 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!

    Hi there and well done for coming out of the Shadows.. I understand you.. I was on this site for a while before I posted/replied to anything.
    Also well done on what you have achieved so far.

    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
