Hi there
Firstly welcome to the forum!! I've been on it and off it quite a few times, but the thing that really keeps you going is the rate the scales go down!! honestly - like all the others say, once you start you really do get into it and you get such a buzz as the scales go down, and thats a brilliant idea of Elaines, getting some distractions - whether its beauty or reading, or get a dog and walk it!! hehe (I've done the dog option! I live in an apartment, so she needs lots of loo visits, and I've been taking the stairs since I started!! no more lifts!)
keep coming on here and posting, if you're finding it hard, there will always be someone here to help and spur you on - we really are all in it together!! and just look at those before and after photos!!! I'm starting to feel excited for the summer and skimpy dresses now!! hehe!!
good luck - you can do it
