in Introduce Yourself
I have just started dieting due to my doctor opening my eyes the the heart risks and other health risk due to being overweight. I have decided I have had enough of being this way and hoping it will cut down on the risk and take me off most of the meds. that I am on. I am just looking for friends to vent on when I'm down and to pick me up when I don't think I can do it anymore. Hope to hear from someone.....Take care and good luck to all.....:smile:

    Welcome and good luck! Since I have been on this site, I've gotten lots of support, advice and I've lost enough weight that my doctor took me off my blood pressure meds a few months ago. You're going to do great!

    I am a stay at home mom with a 4 year old little girl. I have been dieting off and on for a couple of months but recently started the 17 day diet and so far so good. I plan to stick with this diet and hopefully lose 65 pounds before May 1,2011. I am not big on exercising but I know it has to be done in order to lose weight. If you'd like to be weightloss buddies let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon and good luck!

    Hi I'm new also. I have struggled with weight all my life but when I stepped on the scale and saw that my short 5'2" body weighed in over 200 pounds I knew it was time to change. My doctor also said that it will help with my RA. Here's to a new lifestyle and a new body (: I hope haha.

    Hi - I'm new as well. I just joined last month. I haven't actively looked for friends yet b/c I wanted to try the site out and make sure it's something I would stick with and so far it's great. I love it and have lost almost 10 lbs since I've started on this site. Now I'm ready to open up and look for friends and support as well so you can add me if you would like. Good luck! :smile:
