in Introduce Yourself
My goal is to get down to 190 or so. I have been overweight my whole life which has caused me to have a very low self-esteem (though most people never know because I am always smiling and seem so happy). I have never been married and have had few serious relationships, again very embarrassing to admit. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol.

I am ready to start a new chapter in my life where I will be healthier, look good, have confidence in myself and to be able to ask someone out on a date without being so self conscious, and be more open and honest with myself. I have some support from friends and family but could always use a little more. I need all the help I can get to stay on track to reach my goals. I am going to Hawaii for the first time next summer for a friends wedding. Would love to go there and strut my stuff on the beach knowing that I look good.

    You can totally do it. :) You'll rock that beach! And probably have some hottie on your arm, whilst doing it. ;)

    the great thing is that everyone here is in the same (or a similar, but slightly different model) boat.

    Let's support each other, work our butts off, maybe be hungry, but not starve... and then strut our-hot-selves 12 months from now!
