New here!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Pragya and I am new to this site. I found it while looking for an app on my phone. I have struggled with weight issues pretty much ever since I was a teenager. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago but managed to put it all back on and some more. I got married 8 months ago, and of course, I put on some more weight. But now I am finally ready to lose the weight. I am hoping to lose about 60-70 lbs, however, I like to set smaller goals for myself, so that I don't get overwhelmed. For now, I am looking to lose 20 lbs. I have read some wonderful things from other users about this site and I am hoping that having the support system here with all of having the same goal will help me!!

Thanks!

    Hi Pragya

    Good luck with your weight loss. I think most of us here are the yo-yo kind, which is why I feel so at home :)
