New and Need Help

I am new to this web site and need some help and support in the worst way. I had started a life style change last year around December which lasted through May. I lost a total of 74 pounds and was feling pretty good about myself. Then the wheels fell off and I have gained all of the weight back in a few months. I want to change my life style so that I can live a better quality of life for me and my family. I do like working out when I work out. I work night shift, so when I get done from work I am so tired. I just need some encouragement and support from anyone willing to join this board. If there are some other good boards to jump on, let me know.

Thanks and God bless.

Good Morning!
Sorry about the late reply, I have been busy Christmas shopping! Welcome, and I worked night shift for years, I know how it feels. We are all here if you need us for support, advice, and just to talk. I would like to say its always a pleasure when someone wants to lose weight for quality of life and family. I respect that!

You may want to check out the "liquiddietdiscussionboard"where most of the people are on liquid diets but not all. It's friendly, free and people will answer your questions and give support. It's worth a look. Good luck.

Hi, welcome to ds. I'm pretty new here myself but folks are very encouraging and supportive. I HAD to make some lifestyle changes because of my health. I have never been able to do it before, but fear of losing limbs and life is a great motivator. I am just taking one day at a time, trying to make better decisions and it seems to be working. Wishing the best for you and your family. You will be in my prayers. Feel free to message me if you need to talk.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
