Hi! I have been reading these boards for the last year or so and now would like to take the challenge. I started my diet three weeks ago and have lost 13 pounds. I have a total of a 150 pounds to lose. That's a huge goal to have to reach but, I think I can do it. I think it's wonderful that you all support each other like this. It is really important to know that there is someone out there to help. Thanks!:grouphug:

walls - Welcome to WISH!!!!! This is a great place for support and encouragement but you know that already. We are so happy to have you here with us. Are you on a particular plan or doing your own "thang"? Whatever it is you are doing to get healthy, we will be here to support you!

When I first started my own WISH journey back in December and I had 141 pounds to lose, it seemed daunting but I'm just 3 pounds from the half way mark and know part of the reason I have been successful so far is the wonderful encouragement I get from the people on WISH.

You can do this and we will be here to cheer you on!!!!! So post often and make this like a second home. You will be so glad you did!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

welcome walls!!!!!

i'm so proud of your decision to commit to a healthier lifestyle!

150 lbs may seem overwhelming -- why not set a mini-goal to get started? many WISHers use the 10% rule, focusing on a goal of losing 10% of the their body weight at a time. a wise WISHer once said "I didn't lost 185 lbs, I lost 5lbs 37 times!!" (SnackyStacky)

jump right in and thanks for sharing your journey with us!:teeth: :wave2: ::yes::
