edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Kay and I am new here, so I wanted to introduce myself. I am 54 years old and I have been obese for about 27 years. I have lost weight only to gain it back, but I am hoping that it will be different this time. I need it to be different for health reasons!!! I have been reading some of the posts on the message board and they have really inspired me. I am really going to give it my all this time :-) Anyway, "Hi Everybody"

    HI! :) you can add me as a friend if you would like to. I just started on here in june, I have lost 10 lbs so far, this is a great tool. I wish I would have found this site before, so I could be fit by 40 which is in a couple of weeks, but I will have to settle for 41. good luck on your journey to a new you!

    Hi Cassie. I feel like I have been heavy forever too. It will be good to be around people that understand. Especially if they are cheering me on :-)

    Hello! I am Courtney! I am new here! I had my son a year ago. Losted 30 pounds after I had him. Than the past year with the "late night" feedings, stress and werid weather over I have gained 40 pounds! I decided to join this site for support, tips and encouragment from other people. It is good to know I am not the only one struggling! Feel free to add me! :)
