in Introduce Yourself
Hi There,

wow where to begin, I'm 38 years young and so desperately need to lose weight, a friend recommended this site to me so I have bitten the bullet and joined up.
I would hate to guess the amount of money I have spent on potions, lotions, pills, powders, books and websites and I have not gotten any thinner, just fatter, so I am going to pretty much follow a healthy diet of no soda, no processed foods, I want to eat as close to natural as possible.
So here's to a new year and a new beginning I hope to make friends and get and give a lot of support here, best of luck everyone

    Between my mom, my aunt, and myself, we have definitely tried every potion and trick in the book and none of us are any healthier for it! I am trying to workout 3-4x a week and eat more fruits and veggies! Can I add you?

    Hello Newbie,

    Nice to see your post and to know you have joined this today.
    I have also joined this today. I have used other food journals before, but not this one.
    I found this very simple and good for me and hence started using.
    Its good to know that you have started eating good foods, do not give up once again on this new y ear.
    weightloss is all about dedication and hardwork and I am willing to start this again.

    Well, to say I weighted exactly the same as I am now on dec 31st 2010, I started my weightloss journey from Jan 2011 and lost around 10 to 15 pounds by june 2011, ( i got married in June and looked perfect and hence my dedication)
    After marriage i neglected gym and changed my food routine, so here I am once again back to what I was 1 year back)
    So i have started my diet once again and hoping to lose 20 pounds this time.

    welcome to board and keep going. Do enter whatever you eat to your food journey to be on track.
