Never done this before!

Options
I have never been a part of any online support group or message board, so I am completely new to the whole idea. I have played around with this site and feel that it is very user friendly and that I should really benefit from it. I'm sure many others have been here before too, but I am tired of the excuses to not get back into shape. Too many diet attempts gone bad and emotions getting in the way. I am focused on my health issues and hope to help others while at the same time receiving help.

    Rachel,

    I wish you the best! You are correct, I've tried other boards in the past and this one does seem to be very user friendly and offers many tools. I'll be right here with you working to overcome my own excuses and learning to use the tools.

    Thank you Kelle. I also wish you luck. I think I will really like this message board and online support. It seems like it will be easier to chat online than in person since we don't REALLY know each other. Not too worried about embarrassment here.
