I've only been back for a bit myself. Had great success before. The board doesn't seem as busy as it used to be but so many great people and such good advice.

Thank you for the welcome I did this before I went from 190 to 117 then got pregnant with my oldest then I went from 230 to 190 and found out I was pregnant again now I'm 234 and just want to get healthy and take control of my life and stop being judged.i do remember back in the day this board being popular tho.i just need people around me who understand my dh loves me through thick and thin literally but his family is all thin and these reunions are so hard because of it and the awful things that are said I almost passed it up but decided why not show them in time I can take control.

Oh, wow. That's a terrible thing to say! What is it with people and their lack of social grace?

Welcome back! I started at 234, too, and got down to 171, which was a great weight for my frame. Put 20 back on in the past 9 months due to my own lack of diligence, but I'm back and ready to lose it!

Hope you find lots of support and tools here! Get started on your food planning for the week, and drink your water.

To that I would have said "No the great thing is I can kick your a$$!"

Wishing you great success on your new journey!
