FINALLY COMMITTED!!

Options
Hello everyone! I am brand new to this site and I am really excited about it! As my subject line says, I am finally committed to losing this weight and getting healthy. Please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Alexis and I am 38. I have a wonderful husband and 2 great kids ages 6 & 8. I am looking to lose about 40lbs.

I am so looking forward to coming on everyday to track my progress and help keep myself on track. I am open to motivation so please, if you see me slacking, feel free to give me a push!

That's about it! Looking forward to great journey with all of you!

    That's awesome that you have decided to make a change! I have recently decided to make the same commitment for myself and I've lost 6 pounds since Sunday.

    I have also started a group/thread for us to support and motivate each other. We'd love to have you join us. If you're interested, here's the link...

    welcome and congrats! let me just say you will get lots of ideas, support, and love here! you can view other peoples food diaries which i find help me out with ideas on things to eat, and you will also find some great groups that support one another OFTEN and make it so much easier to meet your goals with setting their own for you to follow!
    Good luck and always remember: this is a lifestyle change not a temporary solution!
    Everyday there may be ups and downs; just keep your head up and keep trying! :bigsmile: :drinker:
