Hi everyone, weight has been an issue for me my whole life. I am what is considered obese and frankly and quite tired of not feeling good about myself. I have 125lbs to lose and I think I can do it. I know I want to be healthy for my family, my kids especially but I want to feel good about myself and I hope that losing weight will help with my self esteem.

    Congratulations for wanting to live healthy! :-) you definitely can do this!!! And here you will find many people that have done it! Just keep trying, even when you mess up, and don't give up!! :-)
  • I just started today as well. I already ate a donut but I feel better as I have accounted for it and know how many calories I have remaining for the day. Lets do it together. I just know we can. I love to eat and my whole life evolves around food but I dont want to be fat anymore.
