in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

I just wanted to post something to get my feet wet and to say hi to the other members on here. I I tried to do things like this before and have failed in the past... this time I am hoping I can stick with it. I like that this is a like social networking for weight loss and I do not have to worry about skinny little people that don't understand making comments on my troubles and struggles...

I am here is be... well.. free... in more ways then one :) I'm pretty open so feel free to get to know me.

    Welcome! This site is amazing. I love it. I joined in Jan with a friend who wasn't as determined as me to lose weight. I stumbled on the message boards (I just used the iphone app), met some fantastic supporting friends and have lost almost 50lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend for support. Good luck on your journey!

    I just started this a couple of weeks ago and love it. I have a very supportive daughter and boyfriend. It's very hard to change your lifestyle when you live in the Cheese state. But I'm doing it and have had great success. I'm starting yoga next week and plan to walk 30 mins 4 days this week. Keep up the good work!

    Hi and welcome! It definitely is a struggle. :grumble: But we are worth it. :smile: I see you live near me too. I don't know anyone here, moved to the area last August. Wish you the best on your journey here.

    For grins after eating one heck of a fabulous Easter supper, I decided to calculate my calorie intake today of all days. Man oh man, what an eye opener. Potato salad is how many calories for 1 cup? So not worth it. Either way, Happy Easter everyone. Here's to looking fabulous in that bikini by June.
