in Introduce Yourself
My name is Amy. I have battled my weight since I was 12 years old! I have tried every program. Some were successful, but I always go back to my old eating habits. Last year I got divorced and I turned 40 and I am at my heaviest. I understand diet needs to be a lifestyle change. So here I am and I wish I could say I am excited, but I really need to find some motivation.

    Hi Amy, changing habits can be frustrating and requires patience it's a lot easier with a great group of friends though :) I've sent you a friend request :)

We are here to help each other every step of the way. You can do this and we can help.

    Hi Amy and Everyone!

    My name's Lauri and I turned 50 3 weeks ago! Battled weight almost all my life but no more. I'm tired of allowing my weight to define me, or make me feel insignificant, and all those horrible things it can do. I want to be healthy and strong going into the last half (hopefully) of my life. I'm a great motivator and means of support, so Amy, feel free to friend me. The more you communicate and share with the rest of us, more your will and determination will grow. You owe this to yourself because you are WORTH IT!
