Hi everyone. I just joined yesterday, and already think this is an awesome site. Having people to chat with, and hear different points of view on weight loss endeavors is always helpful. I am a nurse, going back to school, and have 2 beautiful children, ages 9 and 2.5. Quite frankly, I'm tired of yo yo dieting and never getting anywhere. I was recently diagnosed with spinal arthritis, and while my case is mild at this point, being that this is a progressive disease, and I am only 32, I know I need to lose weight FOR REAL now. My kids are just way to important to me, and I want to be healthy for them, as well as for myself. I'm LOVING the food tracker, and also enjoy reading others successes and ideas. Good luck everyone, and remember, it's not a diet, it's being healthy =)

    Good luck. I'm at the same stage as you. I tried this site months ago and was losing weight, but then decided I could do it all on my own and stopped logging in......and gained it all back. So now I'm aware that I CAN'T do it on my own. I need the site and the support in order to be healthier for myself and my kids. Best of luck to you. Feel free to add me as a friend and we'll help each other stick with it.

  • Thanks guys. Loosing weight is something my husband just doesn't understand, and never will. Hes always bee very active, played sports in college, eats a mega high carb and calorie diet with tons of processed foods, and maintains a certain weight. Needless to say he is not the one I need to be talking to regarding the everlasting struggle. Good to know there are others out there in my boat! Editara, awesomness on your weight loss so far! I hope some day my tracker will say that amount of loss. Jjohnson, feel free to message me with any ***** sessions you may need! Because lord know I may need them some day! =)
  • Opps...i swore and the site blocked it... Well complaint sessions I'll call it :wink:
