Re: Hello
Hi Marcy! Welcome to
!
to you for your success so far!! Well done!
You'll find an invaluable resource to you - not only for inspiration, commiseration, but for tips/information/recipes/menus - all around success! Be sure to read the 'sticky' (pinned) posts at the top of each of the forums. They contain tons of info you're gonna need!
I won't wish you luck. Luck has squat to do with this.
Instead, I'll wish you success!

Re: Hello
Welcome Marcyd53. Great work on the 17 lost pounds. Have you taken your measurements to record how many inches you are losing? I find it more exciting to watch the inches melt than the pounds. There is lots of information on health/life issues, people sharing their weight loss tips and many friends here that will encourage you to be a success. Get acitve, join challenges, write a journal, read/post and have fun. When you have others to share the journey with...it is easier to make this a life-style change. Best wishes. We're all here for you....Keep us posted on your progress.Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F
Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.Comment
