Hello all,

I'm a 31 year old mother of 4 and I weight 445lb and am 6 foot tall.....my goal weight is 200lbs. A cousin of mine got me on here to get support and talk to others like me. Seems like a great place to start my journey!!

    Hi. So glad you introduced yourself. It's a wonderful place for support and help. It really helps me keep accountable with my food and exercise because everyone else is trying so hard. I don't want to be the disappointment. If ya know what I mean. :)

    You can do it just like the rest of us. It takes like what sometimes feels like forever, but during those low spots you find new motivation and courage.

    Good luck and we're all here for you.

    I'm glad you're here.

    If you have a bad day; put the truth in your food diary, forgive yourself, think about WHY you did that to yourself, and get back on the band wagon AS SOON AS YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. If it's 7pm, start right then instead of waiting till tomorrow or next week or after a holiday. Take it from someone who kept putting it off so long years went by. Please don't make that mistake and please love yourself enough to forgive yourself when it all goes wrong.

    I can't wait to watch you successd and become an insipration for others!:smile:

    Hi Cyndi!

    Congrats on joining! It is sooo awesome. I just started about a week ago, because a friend told me about it as well. I LOVE it. It makes me feel more in control about what I eat, and a great place to make new friends and have encouragement! I weigh 243 lbs and am trying to get down to 150. I have 93 lbs left to lose, a huge goal but now with this site I feel like I can actually do it. Feel free to add me as a friend and message me anytime you have questions or just wanna chat!

    Kim
