in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

Last week I got a new smartphone and browsing through the apps market I found this tool and just today started using the site. It looks excellent, which is just as well because my challenge is to drop 32.5 pounds in the next 94 days, which is about 2.5lbs a week.

For the first time in a couple of years we have a family holiday lined up in July and I don't much fancy putting on the swimming trunks at 238lbs. I'd like to be 200lbs again, but I think 2.5lbs a week is aggressively achievable, so that would leave me at 205.5lbs.

I definitely need to change my eating and activity habits completely, especially as the holiday is an all inclusive affair with food and drink available around the clock.

Anyway - I'll be back around here regularly.

Cheers,

Ted

    Hi from Wakefield,

    I'm sure you will love this site. Food tracking is easy, and the motivation you get from 'friends' makes all the difference. Today is my 80th day and I've lost 24.5 lbs so far, and it hasn't been hell like other diets I have known. Enjoy it and I hope you reach your goal in time for your holiday :bigsmile:

    Hi Ted! You're certainly in the right place to start your journey.

    I'm from South Wales and found this site absolutely fantastic! I would get involved with the forums too as you can find great sdvice and gain support from others.

    One piece of advice I always promote is...drink plenty of water! It really will help shift that sodium and it's really good for you too.

    Good Luck :flowerforyou:
