Hi! My name is Robin. I am new here and I am looking for some positive support. I have support at home for losing weight, but it is not the kind I need. It is great to hear that family members are losing weight and feeling better about themselves, but since I seem to lose weight slower I really need someone to keep me motivated by telling me I am doing good. I know it sounds selfish, but when trying to raise 2 young children, go to school, and still find time for your husband, I think it is okay to be a little selfish sometimes. I think talking to people who are going through the same thing as me is just what I need to get motivated to get out there and do something. Anyway, it is nice to find such a great site, and I hope I get to know everyone.

    Wow! This seems like just the place I have been looking for. Everyone is so nice! I really like the charts and everything so I can challenge myself to do just a little more everyday. It is a real eyeopener to record all of my foods and see how bad my eating habits really are. Thanks for the support.
