Nothing worked.
I completly believe in the power of the mind...and I think I am finally ready to shed this extra weight.
Seeing as I have been on so many diets and fad diets and have popped so many diet pills (even prescribed by physicians), I realize that you can't cheat the system. Weightloss = hard work (diet plus exercise). It isn't more complicated than that.
However, I am one that needs a lot of support...and that is why I joined this forum. I've heard good things about all of you and I look forward to getting to know you all better.
In advance, I would like to thank any who pass their advice on to me. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks guys!

You made the first important step which is to commit to a lifestyle change. Good for you!
I think the first thing to do would be to set some goals for yourself.....how much weight do you want to lose, and how quickly do you want to lose it? We have a great support group here that will back you through thick and thin!!!
We're glad to have you here!
