Hiya

Hi y'all! I've been on this site off and on for 3 years (which is amazing to me) and I've had some good success, so I know it works. Last time, I think I lost 23 lbs. But, despite the losses, I'll get sidetracked and drop off (and then regain some or all of the weight). I think one of the reasons (aside from, yeah I can admit it, me being lazy or not being dedicated to my committment to myself :-) ) is that I've never been a part of a group of friends going through this same thing and supporting each other along the way. I use all the tools, I track my food, I exercise and I lurk around on the boards, even occassionally posting, but I can be shy and will, at times, agonize over posting or responding to a post...ridiculous, huh? :laugh:

So, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to introduce myself and say hello! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! The support you all give each other is amazing, and I'm sure being a part of a supporitve group of friends working toward the same goal is half the battle! Besides, we're on this journey together, right? Feel free to friend me, if you'd like. I'll do my best to give you all the support I can!

(Speaking of agonizing, it's taken me over 30 mins to draft this post, so if you are kind enough to respond to this post or friend me, etc, and I haven't responded in what is considered a socially acceptable period of time, please know that I'm not ignoring you...I'm agonizing over my response!)
