New here!

Hello! I just signed up today and I'm pretty excited! My husband and I decided its really time for a lifestyle change and here I am.

I've started tons of diets and lost anywhere from 10-40lbs in the past but they get old and I quit... This time there is new motivation. We really want to be parents! I don't want to be the obese girl who couldn't get pregnant or has an unhealthy pregnancy because of my weight. I know I've felt much better at lower weights and it's time I get back there. I'm trying to be realistic, keeping in mind how I've lost weight before, and setting goals that I think are doable for me.

I'd really like to lose 90lbs. I know I can do it.. I just need help with accountability and motivation!

So with the help of you and my husband, I can do this!

Nice to meet you!

This place is a GREAT GREAT place! Just make sure even when you go over calories to put in the food. Makes you accountable and in the end if you don't put it in, the only person you are cheating is yourself! You can do this! And good luck!!!

Welcome! I personally love this site. It has been a HUGE help in my weight loss so far.
I personally hate diets. You can't lose weight and keep it off with a diet. You have to adapt to a healthier lifestyle and you have taken a huge step in doing that.

Definitely a great site!! I joine just over 2 months ago and am still loving it! I decided it was time for a permanent life style change couple years ago and was doing great until the crap hit the fan as they say. I finally got back into the same spirit and am doing and feeling great!! I want to lose 32 l;bs in total which will get me back down to 130lbs. I am 5'6" so I'll be happy there, uinless I can possibly get to 125lbs! LOL
The logging in of food has beena huge eye opener for me!!!!!!! I am definitely more aware of what I pout into my mouth. I love logging int ehe xercise time too and seeing the calories I can consume go up! I don't eat all the burned cals though, jsut indulge in a treat when i ahve earned it with exercise!
Feel free to add me as a friend! We can all use lots of encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!
