I haven't been on for awhile. However, I'm back and committed to my weight loss.

I'm currently at around 270lbs, and I hope to get down to 140lbs. I would love some extra support from wherever I can get it. We all know this is hard and that friends make it more fun.

I am proud of myself, though. I have already begun to change my eating habits, and I went to work out last night for the first time in about two years. 30 mins on the treadmill at a not so snaily pace. (Again, it makes it easier when you have friends and support.)

Look forward to walking this long road with you guys! (Hopefully, I'll be loading a pic soon.)

Welcome! Getting started is the hardest part. But it sounds like you're off to a good start and you have a great attitude. Stick to these boards and you'll be losing in no time. The ladies here are great. Again, welcome :)

We can do this together I need to lose at least 100 pounds and with hard work and prayers and positive thoughts we will make it.I can not do but 15 min. of exercise so far,but I will improve.I have rhuematoid arthritis but with the new drugs I am on now it is really good.Maybe I am in remission.That is what the doctor said last year when I started seeing him was that the medication can put it in remisson.Thank goodness for my job that keeps me going.I can not sit at home and get stiff.Thank you for your encouraging words.

Beth,

We're in the same boat in terms of the amount we have to lose. Let's be sure to keep each other posted (pardon the pun) on how things are going.
