in Introduce Yourself
Hello all! So... I'm new. My story is summed up on my profile, but I'll recap it for you all. I have always maintained a nice figure until I got into about my Junior year at ISU. I was living in a one-bedroom apartment by myself and just ate, ate, ate. The viscious cycle began, and I'm not happy with my figure at all anymore. I want to lose it and be more confident and healthy! So... I just got a gym membership and am currently unemployed, so there is no excuse to not use that membership. We'll see... I have about 35 pounds to go! What would be an appropriate goal? One pound a week I heard - true?

I'm excited to be part of this online community - all of the message boards have been helpful already! :happy: Talk to you all sooooooon! Have a good night!:smooched:

    Hi Kylie, 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! :smile:
    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:
