in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, I'm new to the site and wanted to say hello and see how people are doing. Does this really work? Any pointers/tips? I just had a baby and I've been losing weight, but still need to lose another 25lbs. for my goal weight. Looking for support and ideas from all!:smile:

    Welcome, and yes, this is a great site to keep you focused, get support, and track things easily. People are very nice, there's so much good information, and there's even a cool App for your phone if you're into that sort of thing! Feel free to friend me if you'd like! Best of luck to you!

    In my opinion this site definetly works, not only because of the amazing support you get from friends, but also because if you are ready and want to do it, you will learn so much about what mistakes you are making when it comes to food. Before I started tracking what I put into my body, I was "blissfully unaware" of how fast the calories were building up and how much I was actually hurting myself. I have learned how to manage my diet in a way that I am satisfied without going overboard!

    Best of luck to you and I hope you get what you are hoping to get out of this!

    Yes it really works!! I was the person who started a diet every Monday but that changed when I started this site. I actually stuck to it and as of today I am down 10lbs. That was almost 6 weeks ago.

    I just read a great post that listed tips for new members just starting out.. I'll come back and post it if I can find it. Welcome!! You'll love it here. :)
