    Hello Joycelyn,

    Welcome. You are going to love this site. I am not that tech savy so I had not explored the community/support part until recently. It has become part of my nightly routine. I hit the gym at 9:00 PM, then come home, work on my food and exercise journal and check in on my peeps. They keep me going.

    greetings to you and thanks for welcoming me, right now things in Barbados are okay as i am working hard trying to beat this weight loss. I hope you get the chance to visit again some time soon. It is sunny and hot on the outside right now , as this is approaching the that time of the year when we all get soaked up at the beaches.

    thank you, yes i realise that this site is very informative and i really like the set up. I was on Jillian michaels site but a lot of info is missing where wanting help with food and calories. I try to log my meals at night so i know how much i will be eating during the day. I like the fact that when i exercise i get to eat more because i try to get in a lot of cardio either running on the beach or going on the treadmill. I hope that things work out and i finally shed those unwanted pounds

    Welcome! You can do it! just keep thinking positive! I know it is hard to do that sometimes. RIght now i want to lose at least 20 lbs and i have lost 2.4 pounds since i started a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember the exact date is started logging my meals. I am so used to eating way to big of portions, so i am really adjusting to my new life of eating!!! I can wait until i feel and see the results.

    Again, good luck to you and you will do it! :smile:
