in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!
My name is Kathy and I have been the "funny" friend all my life. Funny covers fat right?
I am 39 years old and am my heaviest. Today I stepped on the scale and it read 260.
I do not feel well. My body aches, I am always tired and I cannot "suck it in" any longer.
So, today marks the day that I start my life.
I have to do it for me and my children. I want to feel free of the prison that I have built over 30 years.
I am taking the first step to knocking this prison down today.
Make a choice, that is all I have to do. The hard part is making a better choice.
Wish me luck.

    Welcome to both of you. This is an awesome site. It has helped me lose my first 27 lbs and I am confident it will continue helping me as I work toward my goals. I am finding that support from those on my friends list helps too. If you are looking to start your own group of friends feel free to add me.

    I saw it today too! I NEVER have the show on and had turned it on MINUTES before it began. I am ready for a change...two kids and I NEVER have enough energy for them! We need to all work together to MOTIVATE one another by using this site!!! Let's think of ways to motivate each other and make change happen!!!!

    Welcome. I love this site and it has already helped me tremendously because I think before I eat since every calorie counts! Although I don't know you, you sound determined, which to me is a great start to succeed in losing weight. You can do it. Add me to your friends list if you would like.
