Hi everyone, my name is Lorea and I've lurked for two days now and have decided to come out of hiding.
I am not the greatest on the computer and am actually nervous about posting. So silly as my friends would laugh if I told them that. I guess it's just taking the step of announcing that I need to change my lifestyle.
I turned 50 this year and had a one day mid-life crisis before I slapped my self and said get on with it.
I have 60 pounds to lose, the equivalent of one of my grandchildren.
I am shooting for 1700 calories a day as I weigh 221.1 pounds. Looks so scary in print. The highest I have been is 247 and that hurt like hell.
So, I hope I can be an active, supportive forum member and am thoroughly excited to share my journey with you.

Hey Girl, welcome.

I am so glad that you decided to face up to reality. It can be a little shocking, I can certainly attest. But as they say, owning the problem is the first step to solving the problem. So check around the forums, lots of great information, differing opinions, and soup to nuts when it comes to personality types. The one thing we all have in common is a desire to get our lives under control.

See you around!

So glad you decided to come out and meet us! Jump in any thread that you want to. The more often you post, the more comfortable you will feel in sharing your journey with us.

Welcome, crazi! I think you'll fit in just fine here.
