New to program
This is my first day on this program and hope for support, as I find it is very easy to get off track. I need to have a menu which is tasty and varied, which I have found on the good housekeeping 1300 cal diet, which I modify a little to suit my taste.

new kid on the block...
Hey gang, So I've been plugging away my calories for about a week now and, as many others, have really become more aware of everything I'm putting in my mouth! I've also joined the local YMCA (along w/my fella who doesn't need to lose a single lb. but it's nice to have a workout buddy). Everything seems to be going well so…

Feeling the difference already!
Hi everyone, thought I'd introduce myself on here, so please feel free to add me or whatever! 20 year old from Glasgow in Scotland, aiming to lose around 20 lbs by summer!

I am new - being Healthy is my goal
Hi, everyone! I am excited to participate in what the site has to offer! I am probably not the typical user of this site as weight loss is not really my goal.
