New to this site

I have just joined today and I am hoping that this will be a big motivator. I would love to lose 50 lbs, but will be glad with any amount lost. Being able to track what I eat on my phone will hopefully keep me on track since I will be able to post immediately instead of eating all day and then figuring out all the numbers at the end of the day and hoping that I made good choices. I am starting a Physical Fitness Challenge at a local Church next Monday. It will be 3 evenings a week. Hopefully with these two things together I will be off on the right foot. My 30 year class reunion is coming up in the fall and I am hoping to be a few pounds lighter but the biggest thing is to have more energy.

I am looking forward to all the knowledge everyone on this site has to share. I have spent most of the afternoon looking around and reading what other people have posted and I am glad to see that much of what I have read is from honest folks in the same boat as myself.

    Best of luck! I joined a while back but fell of the bandwagon and started back yesterday... I have found the community to be very motivational, and the ability to track everything right after you eat is wonderous!

    Feel free to add me, and we can start our journeys together! I'd love to give you some motivational words each day to help keep you on track!
