New here too...

Hello. I feel like I already know most of you because I have lurked here on and off for a while, but there are lots of new people lately!

My name is Carrie. I live with my dog and 2 cats, and I have no kids, was married once but that didn't work out too well.

I have never posted because it was terrifying to put myself on the line like all of you do. Someone recently pointed out that it sounded like I need friends, and that's very true. It's kinda been something I avoided for a long time. I can't hide so I may as well say hello.

I have been dieting for a little over a year (Jan 1, 2003 was my start date). I began at 387 lbs, and am currently at 289. I am hoping by the end of the week to have hit my hundred lb. loss and to celebrate I am planning to buy some new clothes. My goal weight is 160 lbs.

So....deep breath....hi everyone. Thanks for being here.

Carrie

OMG, Carrie!! What an inspiration you are!! Congratulations & Welcome!! You have alot of celebrating to do!

I have to lose 75 (approx). I could never imagine actually making it to the 100 pound mark and continuing! You have a lot of self-discipline.

I'm so glad you have decided to say good-bye to your "lurking" days and hello to your member days! Congratulations once again. Jump on in, share your stories, tips, troubles and your thoughts...we're here for you.
