So glad you have joined us here. I know how it feels to be so overweight that it's hard to play with your children. I had aches and pains all the time and was always tired. Now that I've lost some weight, my energy is up and I don't hurt nearly as much. I know it just gets better from here! The best advice I can offer you is: 1) Drink your WATER 2) Stay active on the message boards (I just LOVE the "Over 100 pounds to Go" board) 3) Try to post "announcements" on your page on a regular basis. It really helps me to stay accountable if I know that I am going to be posting what I've been doing and eating on my page. I journal almost everyday on my profile...I call it "Fatbook" b/c I try to make sure I update it as often as I do my facebook status. 4) Be honest. You will only be helped by this website if you are honest with yourself and others. I hope you love it here as much as I have! Best wishes on your journey. God Bless -- Hilary
