Sometimes it's hard to get started but there are tools here to help you with your weight loss efforts. You can do it!

Glad you're here! I'm on a weight loss journey too and I've lost 111 pounds so far! I have OA in my knees, ankles and hips, asthma, a heart condition and liver disease. So I totally understand pain! I'm following the directives of my MD for my diet and I am looking at joining a gym to kickstart my weightloss out of the stall I've been in for the past month. Happy losing! Vicki

Hello
 

Hello, I'm new too Marlm. All the best with your weigh loss program.
I definitely have a food problem but I am ready to face it and lose weight. I have back and knee problems from being obese. I look forward to being part of the weight loss community here.

I'm looking forward to motivating and being motivated.

Good luck with the weight loss everyone.
