Hi,
My name is Ali and have joined this forum from Australia. I came across this site when I was searching for online support groups for people trying to lose weight.
I have been overweight most of my life from about 7 yrs old, I'm now 34. I feel that the time is right to do something about my weight and hopefully save my body from the ravages of excess weight before it's too late.
I'm a Registered Nurse working in the Coronary Care Unit of the local hospital and can now see how being unhealthy and obese takes it's toll.

I started my weight loss journey on August 22, 2005 at 122 kilograms (about 270 lbs) and have lost 4 kilograms (8 lbs) so far. :D
 
Welcome to our forum Ali!! Looks like your off to a great start! Let us know if there are any particular areas you need help in. You should consider a diary, its what we all use to list our diet and excerise for the day, along with anything extra we want to share. Looking forward to gettting to know you better!
 
congrats on your loss so far! welcome to the forum.
 
Welcome, Ali! Nice to have a world wide patron here ;) It's a great support group here and you'll learn that we all try to help motivate each other. Way to go with your weight loss so far ~ you're doing great. Come to us whenever you need help or just want to say hi! I started a diary under the suggestion of others on this site. It helps keep me accountable. I track my food intake and exercise in the diary. I also found a healthy way of eating that I can keep up with - that's not too drastic or rigorous that I feel the need to quit it. One thing that helped me with exercise is getting a buddy to go with me. Welcome and can't wait to hear more from you.
 
Thanks so much for the warm welcome to the forum. From your good wishes and support it's clear that I've joined the right group to share my weight loss journey. By reading other posts I have come to realize that I don't have to do this alone and that others are experiencing the same things I am.
I will definitely 'stay posted' ;)
 
Its nice to have you join the forum. And kudos to you on your weight loss so far!!!
