Well hello there!

Well hello there!
Just wanted to let everyone know (if you're interested)... I've broken 200Ibs. I weighed myself the other day and it read 195, and has stayed there for about a week. I had a rough start to the beginning of the year and gained weight, bringing weight up to a shocking 209Ibs (the heaviest I've ever been). From the beginning of March 2011 to now I've been working out like crazy and have been watching the scale go down, quickly...2 months and 14Ibs to be exact.
Re: Well hello there!
CONGRATULATIONS on your recent changes. I won't ask about the circumstances that lead to the weight gain, your right to share if you feel 100% comfortable about it, not place to expect to know 
.
However I will say that I feel proud of your achievements to date. I can appreciate sometimes certain things will derail someone, especially if they are unexpected, the person doesn't know how to cope properly and things overwhelm them to some extent. So it's understandable someone won't always just take some negativity in their life and automatically stand tall.
I know that you will persevere, because past evidence suggests that you're not a stop, start type of person, that cannot be consistent with their levels of physical efforts and endeavour, from one week to the next, so I know you will continue to push for more progress and I really wish you well, because you are a lovely, warm-hearted Lady and you deserve to get some progress and happiness from all this, because you are worth it.
I'm glad you posted this and I'm glad you still chose to come here and keep in touch, because this community always has and always will exist for people like you and I wish a lot of luck, best wishes and I hope things continue to progress positively for you.
Anytime you have one of those days and would rather not dump on those around you, do feel free to PM me anytime and we can talk things through discreetly. A moderator can be there to give that little bit more if you need it.
Keep on pushing and keep on believing in yourself Andrea, because this is about you having a second chance in life to be reborn, in a manner of speaking and a chance to start making a better, more higher quality physical future for yourself, so every 1% of progress is well earned and adds more value to you as a person, by showing others how much you care about yourself.
I'm glad you're trying to make a difference to yourself and you're doing it in healthy and sustainable ways, so GOOD LUCK again and please do keep us posted. The more we know and understand, the more we can support you and that's what we like to do, because you DO matter to us.
