in Introduce Yourself
Hi, My name is Maria and I joined today. I have been (legitimately) trying to lose weight over the last 19 months and have managed to lose 25 lbs. I started at 217 and am currently at 192. My goal is 150 before the end of the year. I've been pretty good about working out - now I need to work on my eating habits, though I have kicked a few already :-). This website seems like it has the potential to help me get off my 5 month plateau. Here's to new beginnings.

Cheers,

~Maria~

    Welcome Maria,

    This is the place for you to get all the support you need. I managed to get 23 pounds of last year. I was good at the calorie part, but not the exercise. Now I am working on the exercise and that seems to be helping. The support on the site is tremendous.

    Hi Maria, :flowerforyou:

    I joined approximately a month ago. Before I joined I struggled with losing weight for years, never getting anywhere. I joined all kinds a programs but nothing worked. Since I have joined, I have lost over 5 kilos (please dont ask me how many pounds that is).

    I think the main reasons were -
    I have stopped pretending that my calorie count is low when really I was eating over 2000 calories per day. Instead of my 1200 calories that I should be eating. AND
    I have been able to read everyone's else posts and I picked up a lot of tips including food and exercise tips. I have brought a polar watch which was talked about in one post.

    Therefore this site has helped by knowing what I put in my mouth and how much Calories I burn. I really hope that this site provides the same support to you as I have received.
    :happy:
