Lurker Coming Out

Options
So, I have been on this site for over a month. I have been lurking and soaking in the motivation I get from reading these boards. I really appreciate how open everyone is. While it is great to realize I'm not on a "weight loss island", it is even better to read the sweet stories of success--whether the success is someone losing 50lbs or simply avoiding the cake after dinner--each account inspires me to do better.

Like many on the board, I find my hope surging as I become more engaged with this site. Even as I draft this message, I find myself gaining confidence and resolve that this effort will not result in failure as so many previous attempts have.
