newbie here, will need support

[Chim Chiminy]

I just decided to pop over to this forum after seeing the WISH tag on some other forums. What a great idea to have a place to support one another, in what I think is the hardest thing in the world to do. Getting healthy and losing weight.
I can't seem to motivate myself, so perhaps with some help and encouragement, I can get going and quite fooling myself.
I need to lose a lot of weight. What do you say everyone?

I say you're in the right place. We're glad to have you (we can also use support). This journey is difficult enough. Having a support group makes it a little easier to tolerate.

One things for sure, you'll know that you are not in this alone.

Welcome. Come on in and join us. We have a lot of fun here at WISH and we learn a lot and get a lot of encouragement from each other. I've found since I've been here that we all have our ups and downs. But whenever one is down, someone else is up and helps pull us back up. There's a great group of people here who are more than willing to help anyone.

Grab the official clippie and join right in! Do you have a particular plan you are going to follow? Or just try to change to healthier foods? We have alot of success here with Weight Watchers, Curves, and Atkins as well as alot of other plans.

I love your username!!! Very clever! Welcome, Liz! You hopped over to the right place. I agree that losing weight and getting healthy seems like a hard thing, but once you make the decision, outline a plan and put on your new clippie, it will be much easier than you ever imagined!!!

Glad to have you on board!

Welcome Liz!

Not much more I can add except, we would love to have you as a member. I also never thought I could do it but, have lost 19 pounds since April 1st.

You CAN do this and we will be here if you need help.

Don't be shy, Liz! Welcome to the Board!

 

[Chim Chiminy]

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I can tell by reading the posts that this is a warm, caring, supportive and fun group.
I use my treadmill four to five times a week, and my family goes for a bike ride on the weekends at a lovely state park nearby.
I have been cutting out foods that are bad for us and not keeping as much snacks in the house.
I eat Kashi for breakfast as it is high in protein and fiber. Then usually a slimfast shake for lunch. For dinner a salad and whatever meal I cook.
I look forward to being a part of this community!

Hi Liz

From one NorthEast Pennsylvanian to another!

I know you'll do well. There's lots of great support here.

Whenever I'm thinking of snacking (or blowing my points for the day) I just log on and start reading & posting. It really takes your mind off food.

Good Luck

Doggone it. I missed a newbie. Y'all know how much I love seeing new people join my support group. Sorry, I'm late

Hello Chim Chiminy. Welcome to the DIS and welcome to one of the friendliest and most helpful forums here, WISH

I am just tickled that you are going to be part of my support group now. See, I have a lot of weight to lose and I need lots of support

need to lose a lot of weight

I have some sad news. You may only lose one pound at a time. That's what we all do. Sometimes we lose several pounds in a week, but we lose it one pound at a time

We have a wonderful support group her and I'm so pleased you are one of us now. No lurking, now. Don't be shy just start posting away. When you participate with WISH you help us all

Are you ready to be a success? I sure hope so, you're a WISHer now and that's what we do here. Get ready to <b>succeed</b> and have a lot of fun doing that. You're going to love it here, I sure do
