Wanting to say Hello

Hello,

I am 41. Live in Indiana. Work for an Internet company.

I have been fighting my weight since about the age of 19. ( and to think I thought I was so big when I was 17 and weighted 130 LOL )

I am 4 weeks into The South Beach diet. I am doing well and the women on that board are wonderful!! But most of them seem to just be needing to lose a small amount of weight and I think that ppls that need to lose a large amount have some different issues.

I am 5 feet and my begining weight was 240. I am not down to 226.

I would be happy and content to get to 150.- still over weight for my height, but a lot smaller then I am now.

Just wanted to say hi to all and look forward to getting some good advice and support from women that have the same goal.

Holly

Hello Holly, Welcome!

I know what you mean about thinking you were big when you were younger. I think the same thing myself - gosh to be at that weight now!

Congrats on your weight loss so far - that is fantastic!

Keep up the good work and remember that you are not alone!
