I just got done talking to my sister and she told me about this site. We have both been encouraging each other to excersise and lose weight. I am glad I read through some of the messages. I was going to start "after the holidays" :tongue: but I can see there are plenty of brave people who are starting right away. It encourages me to do this too. I am such a procrastinator and that's almost two weeks that I could make a difference (I hope :wink: )
I am glad mys sister sent me the website and she will be happy to hear I am ready to start.
Wish me strength!

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:
    Ps. I told my sister about this site, and between us, we've lost over 80 pounds so far!
    I hope it does the same for you and your sister!

    Thank you for the advise. I have been reading the messages and probably the best thing about the site is the really friendly messages. I like the idea of putting the food in before you eat it. It already made me change the quantity of what I was planning for lunch. I think my biggest downfall is not thinking about the amount that I eat.

    Welcome Aboard,

    Sisters are the greatest. Mine is one of my inspirations. She has lost a significant amount of weight using weight watchers. Unfortunately I don't have the money to spend on that program and I live in a very rural area where there are no meetings. I think that this web site will be just as beneficial to me however.

    I look forward to sheeding the pounds with you.
