Just started tonight. My nephew has been tracking & had done great. So as his crazy auntie I'm starting now. have been planning on "doing something" about my weight. Got sick a few years ago with an auto immune problem & had to be on Prednisone for 1 1/2 years. Finally got off it after gaining 40 # which I have lost by now. GAined back a few # so I want to get going again.n to lose another 50# & keep going from there. recently torcked my knee- thought I tore the cartiledge- but am doing better. Have got back into the gym with an underwater treadmill- great for the joints!Am planning a regular exercise regeime & will increase based on how the knee feels. So far can walk, bicycle & underwater treadmill. This is how i lost the weight before- had to have knee replacement too & don't really want to go that route again if I can avoid it. So yes everyone- I need to lose weight- there I admit it. Iv'e argued forever about it- I know what i need to do. maybe writing it all down will help too. It did for my nephew!SO- I've been in the gym x2 this week, walk all day at work. Need to be better about eating a real lunch & taking the time to do it. Need to be better at time management & organization. and still need to do laundry too & try to walk the dog.

    I've been here for about two months. Find the people to be very supportive and I've learned a lot about nutrition and fitness in the different forums. If you'd like support please feel free to add me. Good luck.

    Hi new joiner..Welcome to the club..I have only been here for 5 days also and really having friends giving me feedback helps..You have to read your friends profile and I am sure it will inspire you to stay on track..I am trying my best to stick to a plan so I am hoping also to lose weight and feel good about myself..Take care and I will keep in contact o.k. Leaving for the weekend but will answer my letters on Monday night..have a great weekend and remember one day at a time..and don't make big amounts to lose...take like 5 lbs. at the time and you will succeed...Think thin and be happy xoxo
