Hi, I'm Steph and I have decided today is the day. I've struggled with my weight for so long, I almost don't know what to think of myself. I need to lose 150 pounds to be healthy. I'm tired of lying to myself and convincing myself that I'm ok with this weight, because I'm not. I'm miserable and I want to be happy and healthy. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully will be able to encourage you on as well.

Welcome...you're making your first important step ~ Deciding you want to be healthy and happy. Whatever way you chose to do it, this board and the ladies/gentlemen on it are great support and there are a lot of tip on everything from what to eat (I always look at the posted menus to get ideas), how to stop cravings, motivation, goals and just some plain ole fun. The cl's here are wonderful and knowledgable as well. You'll find all of us on different plans. So jump right on in!!!!

Happy posting...

Hi Steph and welcome! You made a good first step by deciding that you don't want to live this way anymore. I think you'll like it here. We're all in the same boat as you. Some of us are just starting out and others have lost a lot of weight and are getting close to their goals. I'm sure you'll find this a good place to get (and give) encouragement and support. Good luck with your journey!
