edited September 19 in Introduce Yourself
My husband introduced me to this site which may sound supportive or rude which ever way you are viewing men. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I ate enough for 3 grown men and never gain weight. It might sound great but I wasn't healthy. I am eating a gluten free diet and am healthier than ever before. Problem is, I have gained 30 lbs. My body is able to absorb all the nutrients and I am finding it difficult to loose weight. I never thought I would like counting calories but it is not as bad as I thought it would be. So, here I am.

    Is anyone able to join these teams? I have noticed there are other fitness challenges as well. How do you get involved - is there a proper starting point on this site?

    Yes, all the challenges on the forums are open to everyone. Just reply to the thread, and let them know you want to join...I'm sure you will be welcomed.

    On the Biggest Loser challenge, started August 19th and ends Dec.02, However you are still welcomed to join...as anyone and everyone else for that matter. Only on this challenge, since I am keeping track on our weight loss, I ask that you send me a message with your starting weight and your ideal goal weight from now until Dec 02.

    Once I recieve that, I will add you to the list and put you on a team, :bigsmile: :drinker: :flowerforyou:
