I'm New...

Good evening all!
I am new to the iVillage family.
I started trying to lose weight in 2005, and did great...losing 30 pounds in about 3 months...then the holidays came and I started eating all the junk again, and well, I haven't stopped. Anyways...I need to lose about 100 lbs., my goal weight is 120. I am motivated, I have joined the Y and I am going to go back to the diet that worked for me in the past. I just need a support group. My sister tries, which I appreciate...but, being that she is 120...and has never been overweight, she doesn't understand what it's like. She is also single and has tons of time to spend at the gym. I'm married with 2 beautiful girls, and work full time. I need a group of people that are going through the same thing as me and want to share in stories and struggles.
Thanks for letting me become part of your group! :)

Welcome aboard!!
It's so great that you're so motivated. I often face motivation problems that holds me back. Congratulations on joining the Y (maybe you want to help us out in our fitness challenge) and congratulations on getting back on your diet. BTW which diet are you following?
I think you'll find a nice group of ladies here. We're very friendly and we know where you're coming from. Welcome to the group.
