Hello, I just found and joined your group.

About two weeks ago I stepped on the scale, and found I weighed the most I ever have in my life. Time to seriously do something about this!

I've struggled with my weight since I was about ten years old. I'm tired of it. I'm a cardiac nurse, and I'm tired of feeling like a hypocrite telling my patients to follow a heart healthy diet and lose weight when I don't do it. I'm tired of the confused patients calling me "the fat one." I'm tired of not being able to breathe when I clip my toenails or tie my shoes.

I joined weight watchers a week ago, and have done pretty well this week, but I don't like their online forum, so I've been looking for somewhere else to keep up online. Hope this turns out to be the place!
