Hi Lisa, I have been here for about 5 days now.  These forums are a great motivator.  I think about it when I am making my choses during the day, because I want to post my great news along with the others who have lost weight.  So, it keeps me from putting the wrong things in my mouth.  Everyone here is positive, we all want the same results.  To read about someone else good habits, and to give others encouragement is making me check in everyday, sometimes more than once!!!  BTW, I am a sahm, too!  I do work from my home, but my kids are my first job!!!

1. Hi Lisa, Welcome!!! In answer to your question about the forum being a motivator, I whole heartedly say YES!!!  Everyone I have met here are encouraging, positive and friendly too. It helps me to have accountability with others who have a common goal.
2.  
3. There are several threads for weekly weigh ins on different days of the week. You can join one if you'd like, just reply and post away! If you see someone's post that you can relate to, invite them to be your buddy.

5. All of these resources are available and the cool part is SlimFast.com offers it for FREE. I am so thankful for that! Good luck on your journey!  Michelle (WA)
