Hello from Las Vegas!

Hi all!
My name's Lexy and I have joined this site to start tracking my calories and exercise. I've been overweight my whole life. I used to weigh 250 pounds 2 years ago. I got down to 148 pounds with weight watchers. I am now at 164 pounds, and I need to focus on getting down to my goal weight of 145 pounds, and staying there. I think this site will help me eat healthy and balanced and get back to being active!
I look forward to meeting people with similar goals, and also getting support! It's been hard for me and I know It'll always be work, but I'd like to try to get a better handle on things and feel more in control.

Thanks for reading!

Hello and Welcome Lexy!
It’s good to have you with us.
I have lost 171 pounds. This is the second time I have lost this much weight. I am working now to lose about 5 pounds that I have gained. I am having some health issues right now but I think that they are about under control and I will be able to lose that weight.
It’s easy to gain back what we have lost. I reached my goal weight 3 years ago with TOPS. I am still a member of TOPS and I always will be. Having to face those scales every week really keeps me on my toes.
I refuse to gain the weight back a second time. The first time I thought OK…the weight is gone…..I’m done. WRONG! I ended up going back to my old eating habits. I know now that I can never eat that way again.
I really like the food log here. I have kept a food log the past 3 years just like I did when I started my diet. That is the only way I can really know what I have eaten. I know now if I want to keep the weight off that I will need to continue to log my food everyday.
Hang with us here and this site and the people will help you reach your goal and stay there.
We are here for you.
Again Welcome!
