So... I joined a year ago, but have only been using the site for the past month. I've lost 80 pounds since Oct. 2010 and need some serious motivation to lose the last 20. I don't know why I'm just now using this site. It is awesome!!

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. Have a nice day!!

    I am in Texas too, and needing some serious help with this. Feel free to add me as a friend, I'm trying to lose about 50 lbs myself, so you're doing great! I've been a member here since 2012, but haven't really utilized it until I stepped on the scale last night to see that I SERIOUSLY need to lose some weight. I'm scared to death of getting too big because my family has always been that way ever since I was little. I was a SKINNY kid and was really skinny all the way up until about 25 years old, then I started putting on some weight and it hasn't stopped since. Now I'm up to 178lbs and REALLY need to get down to about 130...

    So feel free to add me, I need all the support I can get! My biggest downfall is Dr. Pepper, I am ADDICTED to that stuff, but I NEED to drink more water!!!

    Good luck on yours, as well! Keep in touch in TX!

    80 lbs is awesome, Congrats!! You can add me for extra motivation. I've been on here for 5 months and lost 15 lbs. I don't really have anymore to lose, just toning up a bit and training for a half marathon.

    Great Job! Keep it up!!
    I've got about 30 to go. Started with fitnesspal in January. I've lost 15 (actually 20 all total). This app has been such a help.
    I'm a low carb dieter and never tracked calories before (only tracked carbs in my head) Tracking calories, weight, strength and cardio exercise has added a lot of motivation for me. I try really hard not to have any days when I don't add cardio or weight training
    info.
    I haven't added any workout buddies and think that might really help going forward....

    Hello! I'm 38 and from El Campo, Texas. Originally from Corpus Christi. I just joined, and look forward to meeting all of you! I will say one thing, this is a lot harder than I thought, but it is worth it! and I am way more aware of what I am eating, etc now.
