Yes, it's awful and I've got a loooong way to go, but this is what I've got so far. And this is from today. I started at 233 but I am currently at 226.

    I am starting today as well at 215. Good luck to you! It's hard to start right here before Christmas with all the tempting foods, but I told myself it's now or never!

    Welcome! I have been amazed at how helpful this site has been. My daughter in law has lost over 60 pounds since March I think, and I have lost 39. I tried another logging site years ago, but the support here has been a great motivator! Good luck!

    You have seriously righteous hips.

    You will do well as long as you keep telling yourself you will do well. This site has changed my life, made great friends, learned more than I knew I could.
