Hi there, just introducing myself - just started up today and ready to get rid of this extra 30 lbs that isn't helping me be my best! I am an avid soccer player and injured my knee in August. I just got my mri results and require surgery so have just made a deal with myself that I MUST lose this weight before my surgery otherwise, no more soccer for me (the extra weight is definitely not good for my poor aging joints, nor is it condusive to playing a physical sport like that).
I've tried since having my last child (now 8) on and off to loose it but have been unsucessful:( I figured this time around, reaching out for help/support/accountability is my best bet! I've done the ww thing and KNOW what it is going to take, just need the support, hence the nervousness - I've never reached out to 'strangers' before.
So... here's my cry - hoping and determined this time sticks:)

    Nothing to be nervous about...getting on here was a major step...you'll see that we're all in the same boat...we all make the same mistakes. We are all here to be healthy and happy. We aren't super atheletes like other websites...for me I'm just a chubby secretary looking to lose weight before she gets married lol. You're going to do awesome, no worries
