To the newbies, I just wanted to say hello and welcome to one of the greatest boards, minus an occasional troll! I realize that there are a lot of new people out there, and I don't know if I got a chance to say hello to you all.

I also wanted to say hello to some of the veterans of the board, as I have been on again, off again. Well, I'm here to stay, and you all have always been so kind and helpful.

I am 26 years old and from SE Missouri. I currently weigh 270 lbs, and hope to eventually change my lifestyle enough so that I'm a little closer to the "average" weight, as decided by all of these health officials I'll never know. I'm on a diet, as set up by my nutrionist and am currently beginning to exercise by walking at least one mile three times a week. My main goal, though, is to keep a positive attitude and to keep in mind that this is an opportunity to change my life for the best.

So to everyone...hello and continued good eating and exercising!!! (Or whatever you do. I didn't want to say luck, as luck has nothing to do with it.)

Hey there Denice :) Im glad to see that you are still around. Kick it into high gear with us and lets lose some weight! Your right, it has nothing to do with luck....it takes alot of hard work, planning, sweat, tears...etc. I plan to do all of that this week and get myself into a nice groove.

Thank you for the hellos and I hope to see your name around here more often!
