Hi there!
I guess I'm not really "new" having joined in 2006, but I've never posted and haven't even visited the forum in well over a year (thanks for that reminder email

).
I've been a fan of TBL since its first season and can't wait for the new season to get underway. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is because I have a significant amount of weight to lose myself and each new season presents a new opportunity for me to change my life... every year, I tell myself that I will lose weight while watching the contestants and join them from home.
Every year I sit down to a bowl of chips and dip while watching the show *sigh*
I'm hoping that this season will be different and that by becoming active in the forums I can remind myself what my goal is and how I'm going to get there.
I look forward to getting to know you all and hope I'll make a few friends along the way!
