    There's a lot of great people here and a lot of information if you look through the forums. Getting started on this lifestyle journey is already a great sign for you. I hope you work hard and stick with it because losing 100lbs is doable, but it will take awhile. Do not get discouraged and look around the forums for those that have done similar weight loss achievements. You got this!! :D

    I've tried losing weight before and it's almost cliche. So far I am amazed at all the success stories. Such a large and supportive community. Any tips on where I should start looking on day 1 of my journey?

    Hey girlie! I'm ready to restart this life style change too. Just gave birth to my daughter 4wks ago and now I'm focused on being the best mom I physically can. I added you, we can motivate each other

    This is really just a start. Honestly, I just try to talk to some of my friends on here or do some research on my own to try and see what's best for me.

    One of the common factors with losing weight is eating less food and exercising more. Also, don't think of what you're doing is "dieting" because I've been told saying that is a no-no. It's a lifestyle change, diets are too short term of a goal. These 3 things have helped me so far mentally and physically.

    The forums are great. Read all the sticky posts. I learnt so much in the first two weeks.

    I've got 100 pounds to lose. I was almost to my goal then gained 40 back when I went to grad school. I graduated so I'm back focused on eating better and more time in the gym!

    Congratulations on finishing school. I'm an undergrad student myself and I stress eat over school.
