Hi all,

I'm 23 years old. I'm currently 190 and hoping to lose 40lbs in the next 6-8 months.

I work as a case manager for a nonprofit near my hometown. I've always been giving, very selfless. But now its my time. I need to do this for myself and no one can do it for me. I hope to meet some inspirational people that can motivate me when I'm down and can help me when I'm stuck. I promise to commit myself to you all and to provide motivation and support when you need it.

    Hi, I'm Charity and I joined yesterday. I don't know how to "add" anyone yet, but encouragement is a good thing for everyone. I'm a 40 year old nursing student and am hoping to get in great shape so that when I'm treating my patients I'll be a good role model...among other reasons. Good luck everyone!

    The site is wonderful, but its not what's amazing, that would be the family you make on here. They have been wonderful, and I am proud to share my victories with all of them. I know a little about always making time for others and never yourself, I have four beautiful children and a wonderful husband. I wish you the best of luck and please feel free to add me if you wish!

    I am also new. We sounds like we have some of the same issues. Please feel free to friend. And remember, you need to take care of you before you can take care of anyone else. That is what I tell myself, maybe one day I will believe that :)
