    Not a newbie but still have a lot to lose, about the 75lb mark also. Sounds like you're already determined mentally and I found that was the biggest obstacle.

    Have fun and also a bit of patience :)

    You sound much like myself!! Welcome and please add me if you want! Support is the hardest thing I find about losing weight. My fiance is very supportive with words, but is a bit lacking in actions....he still buys junkfood and brings it home, which I find hard. So I often find myself lurking these message boards, trying to find some will power to resist!

    Congrats and good luck!

    Hi mybodyproject,

    I hear you on this, so here's my first post ever.

    I'm 43 yo, married, working mom.
    I don't have HBP but would like to fend off diabetes.
    I really don't want to buy more clothes.
    I'm want to be done with feeling tired and creaky all the time.

    Hopefully we can help each other keep motivated.
