Hi,

I'm new to the site and just wanted to say hi to everyone out there!
I'm loving this website so far! It's a great tool to have, I wish I would have know about it sooner. But guess better later than never!

Remember: Even if you only loose one pound it's better than one pound gained. Think of one pound as a pound of butter...4 sticks GONE!

Good luck to everyone with your goals on becoming healthy!

-Angie

    Welcome Angie! I've been on here for about a week and I too am loving it! I like your example of a pound gone the same as four sticks of butter!! I remember my leader from Weight Watchers (in the past) saying that 5 lbs. may not seem like a huge amount but get a 5 lb. bag of potatoes and try carrying them around ALL day and that's what carrying an extra 5 lbs of weight is like :wink:

    Hi Sherry,

    Nice to meet u! Yea, it really helps to put things into perspective when thinking about one pound as 4 sticks of butter of 5lbs has a 5ls bag of potatoes. We don't give ourselves enough credit for small loses.
