edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
37 and from Virginia, here to change things (finally). Been doing the yo-yo dieting for all of my life, and finally had enough. I'm as heavy as I have ever been, and I am taking my husband with me...something I will NOT let happen. (he wasn't unhealthy before he met me!) I am knocking on the door to diabetes, and who knows what else. I am taking control of my life, and I need lots and lots of support from people who won't judge me because they're going through it as well and know how difficult it can be. I am looking forward to changing!

Please feel free to add me...even Yankee fans :wink: LOL

    I'm new here, too! I've got about 150 pounds to lose to be at my ideal, healthy body weight. Feel free to add me, too. I just started my adventure to a healthy life last week.

    I'm new too! I've got about 100lbs to lose, I joined weight watchers about 18 months ago and lost a lot of weight (about 5 stone) but put four of that back on, whoops!

    We can do this!

    PS - I'm a Red Sox fan too, living in the UK! :)

    I've been here for about 2 months. I have quite a bit to lose and would also like to be added as a friend. I started out real well, but haven't added friends to support me and have had a bit of a struggle lately. I DO believe it will help to have support from friends on the site. Even though I am a White Sox fan!
