This site is awesome and I've just actually joined today. I've been working on losing weight for quite sometime then it dawned on me that I was trying to lose what took years to put on, in 6mths. Lol, needless to say I stopped taking the supplements and have been eating better, taking it one day at a time. So far, changing my lifestyle has started to change me physically, mentally, and spiritually. Looking forward to you all taking the journey with me and I with you.

    Welcome! You said it perfectly. It took a while for us to put it on and it may take a while to get it off. But what a reward when we do. :smile: I have only been on here for a few weeks and I love this site.

    Welcome Kiana. I think it is fantastic that you have had this realization. Having realistic expectations will make sticking to your new healthy lifestyle easier and more rewarding. I hope many many more people come to the same realization. It certainly took me a while to get there myself.

    I agree I just join today also. .I got motivated by a co-worker who has really lost and the good part about it is that she eats what she want as long as she don't go over her daily target. I already started exercising earlier this week and I decided that eating right would help tremendously.My goal is to go down a couple sizes before my class reunion and stay down... So good luck to you
