    Joined about 2 weeks ago and need to lose about 45 more pounds. I had to get into the correct mindset and start back with exercising. Good Luck and I think this website is great for ideas and information. Welcome.

    Welcome. This site is awesome whether you have a lot to lose, a little, or just want to maintain. It is all about eating healthy and getting active. The best starting advice it to make sure you log everything. It will give you an idea of where you could tweak your diet and what actually puts you over your calories for the day. Also pre-plan your meals if possible, especially when going out to eat. It can help you stay on track.

    Good luck and feel free to send friend request.

    Welcome! You can lose the 45 now or 145 later. (shrugs shoulders) Your choice. Good luck!

    Lucky you to live in Ireland. I've always wanted to go. My daughter did see Dublin on a European trip but only got to spend a day. She said it was beautiful.

    Hi Rachel, this is my first post, thought I'd post here as I'm Irish too. Myself and my girlfriend, (another Lynch!) are trying to lose weight too. So best of luck, I've about 11 KG to lose so not too much, just hard to stick to it and actually get the weight off!

    I know how you feel about people saying you look fine when you don't feel fine. You do what makes you happy, that's the main thing!
