Hi! I am new- ish here.

I would like to introduce myself, I am Chellie.I have struggled all of my 41 yrs of life with a weight issue. It has only been in the past 2 years that I have tried to get healthy instead of just lose weight. I am just 10 lbs away from my first 100lbs lost. It has not been easy, but it is definately worth it! Since November 2010, I am sugar free! If sugar is within the first 4 ingredients, I don't eat it! I also started working out with a trainer, he is so very supportive and I have learned more from him than ever before.I do the work but he guides me and makes sure I am doing it poperly!

    You've found a great place for support & encouragement Chellie! Feel free to add me if you like, I've recently started seeing a personal trainer too.

    ...Also I couldn't help but notice, is that THE Ruby in your picture? If not it looks a lot like her. I used to watch her show, I can't find it on demand anymore, but she's such a sweetheart.

    Chellie, sugar seems to be the American drug of choice. It had EVERYTHING to do with me getting overweight... and now it is proving to have EVERYTHING (well, the lack of it) to do with me losing weight. :)
