    Just saying hello

    I wanted to say hi to everyone on here. I am new, but not new. I have been watching and reading your posts since April of 07. I just now actually signed up. I have been doing this woe since April 16,07. I was doing great and then fell off in the late fall and did worse over the holidays. I decided on January 2,2008 I would get back on the low carb wagon. I have done great since. I have managed to get off 34 lbs since Jan 2 and I have done it all with your help. My heaviest wt. was 300lbs. last April.
    My problem is....I am feeling so lonely. I am tired of being on the outside looking in. I decided to join in and hopefully make some friends. I would really love to have some friends (friends that understand what I am going through).
    Thanks,
    Nya

    Hi Nya. Yes, friends are the best way to do keep focused and motivated. All the times I secretly went on diets in the past, I failed. I felt alone and miserable and like nobody understood what I was going through. You have a multitude of friends here who understand and want to see you succeed. Jump in, get active and join the many challenges and forums that are available to keep us focused and going to goal. You can do it, we're all in this together. Best wishes.
