Hi Brandy:
Welcome to the non-op board. There are lots of different folks who hang around on this board - some who have had WLS, some who haven't, some considering it, etc. Lots of different plans that people are on to lose and/or maintain their weight. I think we've found that the same thing doesn't work for everyone but there's lots of good ideas and support here.
We're glad to have you and hope you stick around!

Colossians 3:16~ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Glad you are joining the group, Brandy!
Here we discuss various weight loss plans... our difficulties and our successes and lend each other support in more than just our weight loss as most of the things we have experienced in our lives have contributed to the weight issues we deal with.
Some folks here are VERY intuitive... and one can learn a great deal from those who have had a LOT of experience in their lives.
Weight loss is more than just what we eat or don't eat... it's about how we feel... our relationship with food... battling eating disorders, dealing with stress... unusual or everyday stressors, etc.
Most of us don't push plans... many of us do similar plans and we can offer the benefit of our own experiences to help others. There are WW people, Atkins people, South beach people.. people who are following sensible plans.. people who haven't started yet, and people who have come a long way already.
Personally.... I don't feel any ONE way is the ABSOLUTE end all be all to weight loss. We have folks here who have had WLS.. folks here who are not eligible and folks who have just elected to achieve their goals through diet and exercise without surgical intervention.
Feel free to jump in anywhere... I think you'll be very happy with the group of folks here. Personally, without these folks, I would have never lost over 100 lbs so far. They've been a Godsend to me.. and I do thank the Lord for them and ask for them to be blessed everyday!
WELCOME ABOARD!
We're all in different boats... but we're all rowing in the same direction!!!
Be Blessed

Welcome, Brandy.
I read your post, and the replies, and I thought... we're really fortunate to have this easy means of connecting with people all over who share the same basic desire to become healthy. What if we had to write letters?
One thing I like about this particular board is that the people on the board confess their screw ups, and get little pep talks from the rest of the group. They also get great advice like "you're not failing unless you give up". Then there are the triumphs, and everyone celebrates with everyone else. I guess that's more than one thing.
You can add everyone as friends, and read all the profiles to get some idea of how everyone copes with the problem of over-eating and being under-nourished! If you're lucky, you'll even get to find out about Kim's butt.
Oh gosh, where HAVE you landed???????????

Um, y'all have been talking about my butt behind my back?! Well I guess it's not exactly behind my back since it's posted right here for everyone to see but since I haven't been online because of power issues, it feels like you're talking behind my back.....LOL
BTW, my butt is lookin' better and better every day. I think I'll make it my avatar.
