Hi all...I am having a difficult time being this open about my weight problems...I have ignored them for years and now I have gained so much weight I can hardly move without pain and have much difficulty performing the tasks of daily living. The only kind of weight loss program I have never tried is this - reaching out to others this way, and tracking my progress as we are able to do here on MFP. Needing support and encouragement right now -- I am usually always the one giving it, and it's difficult to in turn need to receive those same things!
