Hi everyone! I'm new here and fairly new to forums. I'm so glad I've found you all. I've always had a real struggle with weight loss, but due to health reasons, I really need to get some weight off now. I'm hoping that I can both give and get support here.

I'm 49 years old, and all told, I need to lose about 120 pounds. It seems like an insurmountable amount! But they say a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. And that one step is registering for this forum. I look forward to stopping by daily. You all seem so awesome! Together we'll all get to where we want to be, I just know it!
 
hey there. yea everyone i have met here seems awsome. I have alot to lose myself. start you a diary entry. sometimes it just helps to vent....

You can do it! :D

Hi, you're right about the taking that first step. The best thing you can do is get all the support you can. The more people you have behind you the easier it is. I haven't been on this forum very long (lurked a bit only joined 2 days ago) but I can already tell we've found an amazing group of people. I've never seen so much understanding and positive attitude in one place!

It may seem like a long journey but break it down a little at a time, make yourself a million mini goals and give yourself a huge pat on the back every time you concur one.

I started right were you are with 120lbs to lose, that was one year and 2 months ago and there's 30lbs to go. It doesn't happen over night but man does it feel good when you start buying new clothes!

See you around and if you ever wanna just chat or exchange idea's feel free to message me anytime :D

Good Luck :)
 
Thanks so much for the support, everyone! I truly feel at home here already. I just know that this is going to be a daily visit that I really look forward to!

I have pretty much the same goals as you set. It seems like a really long journey and sometimes I find it to be a bit daunting, however since I have found this forum I have had a different attitude. I seem to be a little bit more positive and just when your feeling down and ready to give up someone writes a truley inspirational note to yours or in someones journal that just seems to hit home.

I come here for support more than anything. I know the diet game so well I could write a book but you can't get support out of thin air. There are some really great people here.

Best wishes to you on your journey
