Thanks to a friend who mentioned this site to me, I decided to give it a try. I am starting TODAY even though I'd already consumed too many calories before getting online to join. That way I can see just how out of control my intake of calories has become. Also, if I allowed myself to wait until tomorrow, I might find an excuse to wait until the next day, and the next...So, here I am. I know I can lose the weight now that I've decided to do it for myself.

    Welcome. It is a great site and full of support. Not even joking you, this site has 'made me' want to exercise more when I go to the gym just so I can report it back to this site. I have linked it to my facebook too which makes it even more important to do the right thing.

    I have found if you have someone or better yet, a group of people to 'answer to' then it makes it better to push you to keep up with it.


    Good luck... make friends and keep at it!

    Yes I too have just started. Was going to start slim fast diet, but reading the message boards this site was mentioned, and I have to say, from what I've seen so far it seems really great, feel very motivated at the moment so am hoping for a good loss the first week just to keep my motivation going !
