Well, I joined the gym about 6 weeks ago and my weight was well over 215. I lost a good 10 pounds right away and then had a poor couple of weeks and gained a few pounds back. Now that I have found myfitnesspal I am so excited it is really helping me to stay on track. I actually look forward to posting my progress. I have a big goal but it is so do-able.

    I love this site also. I joined in March and lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks but then got a bit cocky and gained 4 back. I don't want to do that again for awhile though as summer is almost here and I'm running out of time so I am right back on track again. It is pretty easy when you put your mind to it and do a bit of planning when you shop. I am eating a lot of fruit salad these days, with yoghurt and raisins and not too many pecans, but some. I make huge bowls of the stuff to have on hand for when I am hungry as if I am not prepared, I will eat anything in sight.
    I have a punch pass for the gym but cannot seem to get myself there. I just keep saying, soon I will, but I never do. But soon I will. haha I do walk my dog though.
    Hmmmm rambling a bit here. sorry.
