Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to quickly introduce myself, as I'm new here. I had vaguely remembered seeing KD on TV a couple of years ago and my memory was jogged by stumbling across one of her cookbooks at the bookstore. It seemed to coincide perfectly with my resolution to try and do something about this weight. I've faltered on plans like WW because it always turns into a rigid, black or white battle that I can't maintain. A "battle" is a lousy metaphor for weight loss, anyway, wouldn't you agree? What I love about KD is her humor, her focus on moderation and good sense -- and good eating! Anyway, sorry this is so long. Just wanted to say hi and that I would really love to get to know you all! All best - Jen

Jen,

Welcome to the board. There's always room for one more.

Welcome to the board. It sounds like we think a lot alike.

These are the things we love about KD, too, and it's why so many of us have been on this board for several years.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We have people at many different stages of weight loss here--a number who are at goal and have been maintaining their weight for several years and a number of us who still struggle to find the right balance between eating healthy and not feeling deprived of our favorite foods.

Welcome aboard and we look forward to getting to know you too!

Hello Jen!

Nice to see your post. Hope to see more. We have all been there and we are all still there in one or many ways.

Humor is why I adore KD--what a great personality she has.
Best, Isabel

First I want to say Welcome! Second I want to say this is NOT LONG! LOL! You'll get that once you read some of our posts. You'll see things like "WARNING-LONG POST AHEAD". I t just happens here. when one of us is passionate about a topic we can get long-winded.

This is a great place for support and help with losing weight and getting healthy! Best of luck to you and stick around here-it's a fun place to be.

Jill


I have no specific goal(s) right now. I am trying to find the spiritual side of myself that I lost somewhere along the way.

Oh... and I TOTALLY agree that "battle" is a terrible metaphor.

Who wants to be at war with their body... or mind... or both???

Your body is the enemy????

I don't think so!!
