Hi and welcome. I have found this site to be a great asset in my journey to shed the pounds.

Hello there, I've only been a member since the first weekend in august but oh what a journey it has been. All the people here are so supportive and inspirational, and you can get really good advice here too. I want to welcome you and congratulate you on taking the first step of the rest of your life. A few points of advice. Be completely honest with yourself all the time. Even if you "over-indulge" at a carnival and eat 1600+ calories one night, log it, and make an entry in your food diary about what you were feeling at the time and then you can look back at it and it will help you. I over-indulge about once a week, but if you look at my food diary I'm not perfect, nobody is. Anyways, welcome and if you need a friend, I work 2nd shift and log on after midnight usually.
