Hi Everyone,


I stopped by for the first time a while back and I was just curious how long everyone has been on their individual journey toward health & wellness.

Ahhh, I understand.


Am I allowed to post here even though I've got less than 100 left to lose?

You are more than welcome to post here. You have lost an amazing amount of weight and would be a source of inspiration for many of us. I am sure we could use your wisdom as well as offer support for your journey.

I think the reason for the message at the top is to discourage those who only have a few pounds to lose and have never been seriously overweight and therefore can not understand the problems that we encounter. In the past we have had people that are very critical

In answer to your question. I started trying to lose weight a year ago(Feb) I had a long break over the summer where I stopped losing and started to regain. I started again in January and have lost 14 pounds bringing the total to 44 pounds all together.

We would love to have you join us and I hope you continue to post.

Wow Maryn,your successful weightloss is amazing!Good for you!!!

You are more then welcome to post...in fact I'm sure people would love to hear your story of how you began,what made you decide it was time and what you did to accomplish your loss and how you feel today about it.I know I would :o)

The reason the disclaimer is stated the way it is,is there have been numerous posts in the past that only bashed over weight people,and were obviously not written by people who have experienced the troubles that being 100 or more lbs. overweight.It's a much more postive experience to read about success stories,rather then being bashed by some unknown entity hidden behind their computer screen.

Looking forward to hearing more about you and your weightloss journey,
Bren
