Touched
I have to say that right off the bat I can see that my friend was right. Just from my initial "hello, i am here" post I had so many comments of encouragement and support from perfect strangers. This seems like a great community to belong to, and just the place for a good kick in the pants!
Weighed myself today, and was dreading it after a weekend off work making not so great food choices. But I was still at 238! Hey same is better than more!

Finally here...
I joined this site at the urging of my best friend (trying to lose her baby weight). I have struggled with my weight for years. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which makes you gain small increments of weight over time and puts you at a higher risk for diabetes and heart disease. I have to work twice as hard as the average woman and seem to never get anywhere. I have a very active job and have recently lost 9 pounds, but I always seem to get a small start and it doesn't keep going down. Not to mention that working every day at a very physically draining job does not leave me with the energy to clean my house, much less go to the gym. I feel like I am losing my will completely, HELP!! I look in the mirror and see a beautiful woman until I get below the neck, I hate to take pictures that show anything more than head and shoulders, I am embarrassed to be in a swimsuit. I don't want to live like this anymore!
