Hi! I've been using this site for about a month and have lost 5 lbs which I have not been able to do very easily for about 10 years. I have another 12 to go for my first goal and then another 10 or 20 after that. (I'm 5'3").

Now that I have this initial weight loss, I am super-motivated and ready to take some new action which is trying to be more interactive on this website.

Oh, I had been doing WW off and on, but could never really internalize the point system (since I have been counting calories since I was 10). Counting calories to me vs. points is like using cash vs. a credit card or real money vs. monopoly money. And since I've made the decision to go back to counting calories, I feel so much more empowered because I really can comprehend.

    You can do it!!! I'm 5'2" and only 1.2 lbs to goal which is 124.0. Feel free to friend me if you need supportive friends! Keep up the great work. Five pounds is a fantastic start!
