    Well, welcome back, I'm pretty new here myself, but I find it does make a different having some friends for support. When I used it in the past I was just using the calorie counter.

    Good luck!

    Same with me - I was on here before and failed without support. See you're from the UK too :) Will send you a friend request.
    Good luck x

    I just started too, and this is the first time that I think I can actually keep weight off because I've never understood weight before. It always helps to have someone supporting you! Good luck! You'll do great if you're wanting to do a 1/2 marathon!

    Welcome back - I am pretty new here myself - but find myself enjoying logging my exercise and watching the calories as I eat through the day - before I joined this - I had lost 40 lbs and then took a couple of months off and so now I am starting over to lose the other 60 that I want to lose........

    What a great goal to do a marathon....... - don't worry - you'll do great and have a great motivation to look forward too!!!!!!

    Welcome back. I think the support is really important as well as the lessons that can be learned. I still have a long way to go, but I do intend to stick around after I reach my goal weight. If you'd like another friend, I'm happy to accept. Remember, this is a journey, and the best way to succeed is to make changes to your lifestyle - changes that you can live with, not sudden things just to get the weight off. Good Luck!
