Welcome JoAnne. I think utilizing this website consistently is one of the best things you can do. It keeps you aware of what you are doing on a daily basis. I've been working out for 5 months and have not lost weight but have definitely gained strength. That in itself feels good. I don't have much to lose. For me it's more about body composition. Fat vs. Muscle that I want to work on getting into a better ratio. You can add me. I'll support you.
