I've been using the iPhone app on & off for a while now, but finally am getting serious and going to make use of the website as well. Also going to get my husband in on this as we both need to lose quite a bit of weight. It's amazing when you find someone, move in, and get married how much weight you'll gain and so quickly!! Just the past few months I've hit my limit and am tired of it. I've broken my weight loss into 2 goals to get to my eventual weight I should be at. I know if I start playing DDR again I can lose it fairly quick as I've done it once before.

Current: 215 lbs
My long-term goal: 140 lbs
Short-term goal: 180 lbs

Hope to get to know more people here and good luck to everyone else just starting out with their goals as well!

    Welcome, I too have just started using the website, it's great! I found myself in the same boat, I moved in with my Boyfriend and life has been wonderful and I weighed myself last Monday and realized that I had surpassed that # that I said I never would, I started immediatley that day to make a change. It's been great using this website. Good Luck! Add me as a friend if you like :)

    you're story sounds so close to mine and your current weight and goals are pretty much right on. I've been a member of this app on my iphone since jan 2010 but didn't really start using it until Jan 2011. Once I decided to get serious, this site gave me a ton of motivation and inspiration. I'm about 80-85 days into this and have lost 35 pounds and 10 inches off my belly alone. I credit using this site to it's fullest capacity as the main reason for my halfway point success. Good Luck and please feel free to add me!

    Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement!!

    My husband had talked to his doctor about weight loss programs and he recommended Weight Watchers. I told my husband no way we are paying for something we should be able to do for free!! I mean really, if being overweight is such a big health issue why should we be charged for the information, and tools we need to get to a healthy state. Then I remembered I had a MyFitnessPal account. :-D
