Hi, I'm new :)

Just joined the site along with my sister. I have nearly 100 lbs to lose! I've lost it all before, but always gain it back. My 25th wedding anniversary is in 10 months, and we are planning a trip. I need motivation and inspiration. I hope this does the trick.

    HI there. Welcome! This site is amazing!! I lost a total of 40 lbs in less than 6 months and kept it off during the holidays but I ended up with a back injury and not only could i not work out but i started eating the wrong foods again and put on 20 lbs but im getting back on track and this site really helps me to see what im eating and the calories etc..I have learned to make better choices by knowing what the calorie, fat and sugar counts are on a lot of foods. I will look at one slice of pizza and say, hmmm do i want one slice of pizza for the amount of calories that i could have an entire meal for. :) My friend and I also workout together and if you start with walking atleast 30 min a day you will notice a difference soon. I work out about 2 hrs a day now and feel great. Feel free to add me. And Good luck you can do it!!
