I'm NOT New... :)

Today's actually my "Day 50" log-in and after having been on the site (and used the Android app) I thought I'd re-introduce myself and throw out an invite for more friends. :happy:

I've (unofficially) lost 16 pounds since I started using this site to track my calories and exercise. So to answer your question "Does this site work?" I'd have to throw out a resounding YES.

I state "(unofficially)" because previously I was only using the scale in my doctor's office to weigh in. This was approximately every 6 weeks on a Tuesday afternoon, fully clothed. On advice from members from this site, I now weigh at home, first thing in the morning once "evacuated" (think first Austin Powers movie). I'll probably not use my doctor's scale anymore, unless it happens to be less than the last time I weighed in

I do see my doctor (one of them) about every 6 weeks as, earlier this year, I had LAP-BAND surgery. I had lost some weight prior to surgery but since surgery...not as much. I blame myself, as I was not exercising as much, nor was I carefully tracking my caloric intake. That's where this site came to be beneficial to me. I'm still getting adjustments to my band...I'll have about 2 more this year and then I'm not sure how often I'll be going next year, since currently all of my adjustments are done out-of-pocket thanks to the wonderful insurance I have...:mad:

So that's me in a nutshell...actually, this is me in a nutshell...Help! I'm inside a nutshell! Get me out of this crazy thing! (again, think first Austin Powers movie).

Unrelated, I recently hit the big 4-0 earlier this month and I live in Clearwater (and my heart currently goes out to those in the Northeast USA who are being hit with Irene, as that was just another bullet we've dodged since the 2004 Hurricane Season ended). As my tagline says, friends are welcome, local friends even more so, so feel free to add me!
