Brand new!

Options
Hi there! I guess I'll introduce myself. My name is Tricia, I'm 28 and I have about 80 pounds to lose. I might want to lose more than that eventually, but I want to get down to 150 and see how I look and feel at that weight before I commit to losing more.

I signed up here a while ago when I was "shopping" around for weight loss tools. I ultimately went with Weight Watchers which was a great success. I lost about 17 pounds, but times got tough and I just couldn't keep up with the expense of it. I gained 4 pounds after I stopped following the program and realized I needed to find something else that would provide me some structure, so here I am!

I'm motivated and excited and hope to finally see my weight loss goal sometime next year!

    This is a great place and really when you think about it, why should it cost you money to lose weight?
