in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I just joined yesterday through the recommendation of a friend. My goal is 70 pounds in a year at the very longest, and to keep it off. I'm trying to be more healthy in what I eat, which is hard for me because of how picky I am with the foods I will eat. I've gained all this weight over the course of 5 years, so i know it's going to take a while to get rid of it in the right way. I'm hoping to be more healthy before we have children. I've lost weight and gained it back a few times over the past few years, so its obvious what i need is a lifestyle change.
Here's hoping my efforts stick this time!

    Like you I need to lose about 70 pounds this year, but I have carried this weight for 10 years now. I am worried that it will be harder to get off because I have kept it for so long. I am hoping to lose it slowly so that it stays off. So far I love this site. I know you will too! Good luck to you!
