New to this thing

Hi. my name is JJ. I am new to this thing. I am looking for a female/females, who are serious about losing weight and would like to keep in contact. I am trying to lose about 50 lbs, my family is not supportive at all, and money is too tight to join a weight loss club, so any ideas or comments are welcome. thanks!

Welcome, JJ!
You'll find lots of exactly what you're looking for here-- females (I think we're virtually all female, at least the posters) with plenty of support to offer. I'm sorry that your family isn't helpful-- always challenging, but not insurmountable!
Have you thought about how you'd like to proceed? If you check some previous posts, you'll find lots of ideas, motivation and tips... the CL is great for eliciting useful advice along with dishing out support... good luck!

Welcome to the board JJ.. it sucks when your family isn't supporting you.. but look at the bright side (yes it does have some benefits): nobody is pushing you or eying every meal you eat LOL.
Don't tell them what you're up to. Just start with something and they don't need to know. Their attitude will change after they see the results :) And I'm not just talking about the way you look, results as in having more energy, feeling better mentally and physically.. it makes a lot of difference overall in a person.
As Misha asked, did you decide on how you're going to start yet?
