I'm from Missouri and quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago and gained some weight and have been exercising everyday for 30-60 minutes and have not lost a single pound. Very frustrating. A dietitian told me about this site and to check it out. I am hoping this will help with losing the weight. At this point I have about 30 pounds to lose. I'm still trying to understand carbs and good fat versus bad and lean protein. I'm hoping to learn a lot from this site.

I'm new here as well!!! I would like to lose about 25lbs so maybe we can keep each other on track!!! I had a baby about 2 years ago and have been struggling with my weight ever since. Let me know if you are willing to be my motivation and vice versa!0

I'm new here to!!! Looking to lose around 25lbs as well. Maybe we all can help motivate each other. I am married with 5 children and need to lose those few extra pounds that have acumulated over the years.0

I am pretty new here too. I am just starting my 3rd week. I am finding it very easy to track my food. Much better than when I tried to lose weight a few years ago and track things in a actual journal. This has worked out well for me because I always have my phone and don't have to do the math. I am trying to lose a grand total of 33.8 lbs to reach a healthy BMI.
Welcome and Good luck!0 -
