Starting today - looking for encouragement

Options
Hi guys. I have just downloaded the app and am determined to do this. Just looking for some friends to encourage and do this with. Would be grateful for any responses and tips for succeeding.............

Someone has mentioned that I should say what I want to lose and why.
My goal is to lose 51 pounds. I have recently got engaged and I don't want to set a date until I get myself in shape and can fit into my dream wedding dress.

    Feel free to add me. I've been on for about a month but didn't take the first couple of weeks seriously. Now that I have a friend base and am tracking diligently, I'm seeing results. One of the things that has worked for me is to look at the "success stories" board whenever I feel like I'm slipping.

    Most of my success has come without this site, but it would have been easier with it.

    As above, check out the success stories and before and after threads - all the inspiration you will ever need.

    I joined yesterday so still trying to learn my way around as well. So far it seems easy enough to track. I'm sure I'll get more comfortable with it as I go along. Good luck and take it one day at a time. I know that' my mantra.

    Welcome to club! I would say let folks know what your goals are. While just about everyone is here for the same reason (to lose weight), how we got here is the real story. Good luck!
