Often times when new ones join a weight loss site, they are overwhelmed!! SO MUCH SO!! I sure was!! Where to start? What to do? What helps others who are like me? I was so full of both hope, but also fear, the fear of "I TRIED THIS BEFORE and it DID NOT WORK!"

Please share what helped you when you new, as you continued along your journey to NOT give up!!

For me to NOT give up and also when I was new it was joining a site that's no longer exists (Sparkpeople) and being invited to join a group called the 5% Challenge.

I'm down from 288 to 174, and its not been easy at all, but the 5% Challenge has moved over here to Myfitnesspal!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! If you'd like to join us, we'd love to have you. Doesn't matter if you are new, some place along your journey, be it you are doing well or struggling (We ALL struggle at times) or if you have hit goal, we are friendly, supportive team.
