Hi everyone! I'm an almost 20 year old girl from South Africa, and I'm nearly 25-30kg overweight! I don't know how I ever allowed it to go that far!

I've registered on other calorie counter sites before, but they were way to boring. This is something really cool! I love social networking, and to have social networking and a calorie counter combined, seems awesome!

I can feel it now... I am so gonna get addicted to this place! I'm looking forward to make some friends!

It really feels like this is the miracle I've needed for so long! We'll see how it goes, and how this works for me.

    Glad to meet you. I too have about 30 - to lbs to lose. 40 would be ideal. I am not sure how it came to be either but it sure goes on MUCH faster than it comes off. I am also going to try to quit smoking in the process so doubly hard. The picture I have posted on my home page is an inspirational photo not what I look like today =( in case you were wondering. Good luck on your journey. :smile:
