Welcome and congrats on your new 9mo. old family member!  Please keep us updated on your progress.  Join a weigh in group, post questions, struggles, motivations.  We all need each other and we are glad that you joined us.

Welcome to our group. We are here to help each other and it is working. No one says its easy. It is hard to do, but you can do it. Lately we have been talking about motivation, committment and the reasons why we are loosing weight. You can read the post titled "want to loose weight but can't be motivated" and "I've been thinking again" for what we feel is important to each of us to keep us motivated and why we are doing this.  There is some really excellent information there just waiting for you.  We are in this together for the long term and are happy to have you join us. Good luck. Suzanne

Hello and Welcome to a great support group!  All of us here in the "Over 100 pounds to lose" group have a long way to go, so we understand.  I started the SlimFast plan in July and I have set a goal of losing 110 pounds by next October.  Is it a long time? Sure, but its a lot of weight to lose.  I either commit to doing this for the next year, or I spend the rest of my life carry around this extra hundred pounds.  It's my choice, just as it is your choice.  But we can do it!  There will be 'bumps' along the way, but as long as we recover quickly we will prevail in the end.  This group is a great place to come for support and encouragement, so log on and post often.  If you do a weekly weigh-in, post it..... no matter what.  We will help you along your journey.  Take care, and we look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi! Im a 27 year old new mom to a 9 month old boy! Before I got pregnant I was 240 and when I had him 9 months ago I was at my heaviest I had ever been 320! I lost some then quickly gained it all back. So I am stuck at 320 unmotivated emotionally eating not exercising feeling a bit down about it all. I want to and need to change its just not healthy for me but I need a good kick in the butt at the same time!

I have always been a bigger girl and have tried every diet out there not really sticking with anything. So here I am trying this again hoping it will be a good start on my way to a good change in my life!  I have a long way to go and it will be hard!! I hope I can do it this time around!  I want to be around for a long long time to see my son grow up!

I look forward to meeting some of you!!!
