Hi, I am new to this site, a friend at work recommended it and so far so good, the calorie counter really convinces me to exercise. I think I am a food addict!
I am currently 302 pounds and need to get down to about 220 or less to be healthy. I would like conversation about anything really with others in a similar predicament!

    I may not have as much to lose as you, but I am a food addict too!!! I was also a couch potato until last spring when I finally decided to start running! My Mom is a motivator because she is also overweight and sedentary and is now diabetic and having complications from that (purple feet anyone/??) I don't want to turn into her but was well on my way!!! I've been tracking now again for a few weeks and I truly love this site! I workout usually 4 days a week, sometimes more, sometimes less... and I'm actually becoming addicted to exercise!!!! Never, EVER thought that would happen. Even if all you can do right now is walk, do it often and do it as hard as you can. You WILL see a difference if you watch your calories!!

    Good luck... we are ALL in the same place, I'm losing these pounds for the LAST time!!!

I have officially lost 8 pounds since beginning, with basically just watching my caloric intake and such. Feel free to add me as a friend, I would love to support you on your journey to become a thinner you.
