    Welcome. It is a great tool and the tracking has been very educational for me. When you enter your starting weight, do it retroactive if you can it will give you more encouragement going forward.

    AND... Congratulations on the 30lb loss what a GREAT accomplishment. Often when we loose that much our bodies stop loosing weight for a time as the starvation mode kicks in and the body tries to retain fat. Just take it slow, and you will start loosing again.
