I am new to this website, but love it! I have lost 22 lbs. on WW in last 4 months, but continue to look for new ideas and motivation to get to my goal. About another 20 to go! I love the food database. It holds the nutritional values for more foods and restaurants than I have seen on any other website. So cool! Look forward to talking to more of you, "Biggest Losers" in the future.

Thanks for the kind words. If I may offer some advice for those just starting...Don't starve yourself or eliminate your favorite foods. I have found I lose more when I am close to my daily calories then not eating enough stalls your metabolism. Also, set smaller goals like 2-5 lbs. It makes it alot less daunting and achieveable. Try to move a little more, even if is 10-15 minutes a couple of times a day. It adds up all the same. Good Luck!
