Hello- I have never done this before, but I am at the end of my rope. I also have tried lots of diets (weight watchers, adkins, south beach...etc..) and they all worked. I was what didn't work. I just kept giving up. Even when I was doing well. Your board seemed like a good place to come for support. I am fairly new to the city I live in and sometimes it is hard to stick with diet and exercise goals when you feel alone. I am ready to start AGAIN and this time I want to succeed. Just knowing that other people are going through the same thing really helps. I am 32 years old. I am 5'10 and well over 200 lbs. Last year I joined Weight Watchers - weighed in 228. I got down to 192 and then went on a 7 day cruise followed by a week on South Padre Island. Needless to say, I fell off my diet and have never gotten motivated again. I haven't weighed myself in over a month, but last time I did, it was around 210. I can't believe I am writing this, I usually don't tell anyone my weight. Weigh-in days at Weight Watchers were so humilating to me, I just can't accept the fact that I weigh over 200 lbs. But keeping it to myself certianly didn't help me, so now I am going to talk about it. I look forward to being a part of the group- talk to you soon.

Why are you so ashamed? Sweety, I am 2" shorter than you and weigh a good 50 lbs more, and I am not ashamed! It is all good sweety cuz you realize that you need to lose it, and that is the first step, as they say. Your epiphany. This is a wonderful board and I know everyone here is excited that you have joined us!

WELCOME TO 100+!!

Welcome! I think that you made a good step by joining these boards. The people here are fantastic and they have helped keep me motivated to keep going when usually I would have given up by now. I hope you find these boards to be as motivating and helpful as I have.
