hi jess i'm amber - i'm new too and am here for exactly the same thing!?i lost about 27 kilos (about 60lb i guess?) by myself but am finding it hard to stay on track to lose the last 8 kg

Hi Jess and Amber!  I'm Kat(phoenix-7)  Just joined yesterday.  Motivation can be a tricky thing at the best of times.  Try to stay positive.  Even if there are set-backs, every day becomes the first day of the rest of your life.  I was starting to get discouraged until you made me think.  I'm due for a plateau.  Amber's comment about the track made me think.  Maybe it's time to get off the track and do a little cross-country, so to speak.  A change is as good as a rest, so they say.  What could you do every day that makes it the best/healthy first day of your life?

Welcome Jess & Amber & Kat!  My name is Melonie (Mel~Mel) I have been here a while but didn't get serious about it until Jan 1, 08.  This is a great site and there are many wonderful people here to help you when you need it.  The site is loaded with useful information so browse through and learn while losing.  If anyone ever needs a buddy...I'm on a lifelong journey so add me as your friend and we'll support each other.  It is very hard to lose weight, especially if you have battled with your weight all your life.  The best thing for me to figure out was if I have a bad day not to call it quits and just press on the next day.  Everyday is always the first day of the rest of our lives.  Much luck to all. 

Hi Guys, I've just joined today as well. My wife & I have put on a few kilos/pounds & this looks like a good site for a bit of extra support to help us along the way.

Good Luck to all the new members!
