Hello all:

Since I started on this site, about 5 weeks ago, I have lost 10.5 pounds!! I've never been real overweight, but since I went through menopause, my weight has been a struggle even though I run crazy mileage and work out regularly.

I looked at the scale today (even though my official weigh-in day is tomorrow) and saw a number that I haven't seen in a few years (137.5)!! This site is just amazing!! I have wanted to get down to 125 for years, but thought it was impossible!!

This site has given me the information and tools I need to make informed choices. I didn't know how to balance my running versus calories taken in. If I am brutally honest about my intake and my outgo, I WILL lose weight now!! :love:

    nice work! I am in a similar position - have wieght to lose, but not a great deal. This keeps me honest & accountable, and helps me think twice before overeating/skipping my excercise.

    I agree with you. I love it too. I have learned to eat healthy and make the right choices, without depriving myself.

    I like this site A LOT i have been on other sites similar to this and its just been WAAAAY too much going on...I like how simple and too the point this site is and the message boards and challenges among memebers are great AND inspiring. I have never kept up with something like this on my own I will normally just get tired of trying but this site has really kept me motivated and all my friends and support here are really what keeps me going and seeing the before and after pics just make me want to strive for that!!! This site ROCKS!!!!
