in Introduce Yourself
Hey, everyone!

I've been here for about a year and have relied heavily on this site for the majority of my weight loss. However, I haven't made that many new friends despite the thriving community of support that exists here! So I'd just like to extend a hand of friendship to anyone out here looking for motivation, support, or generally anything. I'd love to chat and give advice on what I've learned over my journey, as well as hear what you have to say! I promise I'm a hoot! I'm a little too shy to add people willy-nilly, but I'll accept if you add me, so please do! I've lost and kept off about 15 pounds since I joined a year ago; however, I still have a ways to go! Hope you can join me!

Much love,
DS

    hi- i know hwat you mean about the shy about adding.... once people know me i'm fine but i can be a little reserved until then. am really inspired you have kept the weight off- that's helping me to keep my motivation at the top. hungry tired and snow= raid the cupboards. however we had a family drink and biscuit as a reward for playing out in the snow and i've managed to stop the same time as everyone else.

    Hi everyone, I am here to motivate and get motivated. Currently doing P90X, Lean version and for diet I do Atkins. Which I should start back up tomorrow Monday.

    Consider yourself added, whatshewants!

    Good luck on the Atkins, Rosy06. I intend to give it a shot in a little while since I've seen my dad and brother succeed so well on it, though switching diet methods is a little scary!

    I know what you mean. I was skeptical about this "adding friends for support thing" but after taking a risk and putting myself out there, these friends have kept me on track and optimistic! I'll add you! c:
