Hello everyone. I am new to this board. When I started trying to lose weight, I weighed 275 lbs and wore a size 28. Since then, I have lost 17 lbs and 1 pants size. My goal is to reach 150 lbs. I guess I just really wanted to reach out. I didnt realize how important emotional support was until we moved and had absolutely no neighbors within a mile of the house. I hit a plateau after it was discovered that our current area isnt the safest area to walk for exercise. We are trying to buy a house in town in a much safer area to walk daily.

Welcome here, Darlene (: You've made a great start already!

Emotional support is definitely important - that and accountability (which seems to be our word-of-the-day here today) and you'll find both here, if you want.
