Hi all,

I'm from Illinois and my DD persuaded me to join my fitness pals. She wants to help motivate me to lose weight. Since I need to lose 100 lbs I guess I need all the help I can get.

Yes I know it is a lot of weight, I've had problems for the last several years with my weight and in the last three years I've gained close to 50 lbs. After a heart to heart with my family I realized they all wanted me around for a long time, but the way I've been going I won't be around for long.

Anyway, hello to everyone. Please wish me luck! :wink:

    Welcome! :flowerforyou:

    Having lost over 100 #'s myself, I know how daunting it can seem...but I also know it is very possible. Just take it a day at a time..make baby steps and ease into your new lifestyle. If you jump in head first, expecting to know everything right away, it will only lead to frustration and failure. Give yourself a break. Read up as much as you can about the body and exercise and nutriton. Ask questions on here. Whatever you need to do. Understanding your body and listening to it is extremely important for success.

    You can do this! I know that for a fact. Just keep on, keepin on and treat your body right. :wink:

    Best of luck!
