I am new to this site. Just got a fitbit for Mother's day. This time I've decided I've got to make a new life style with food. Started on Nutrisystem Mar. 15th. The loss has been really slow. I've lost from 209 to 195.8 in about 10 weeks. I started walking on the treadmill about 35 minutes/day. Hope to get to know some of you. Would love to find someone in my area to help me stay accountable.....

PS. A healthy, sustainable loss is .5 lb. per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight. Hands down, the best weight-loss advice I ever received was to read the Sexypants post: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1
