in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I recently lost my Mom in Feb. of 2010 and have found that the grieving process has put some pounds on me. So, I am attempting to shed them. This is my first day using this program and I like how quick it adds up the calories for me. I used to use a big book to look up calories. Yesterday I finally went into my closet and took out all of the size 10's and put in all the size 12's. A very good wake up call for me. As I was a size 8 two summers ago and those had to go as well. So the ever increasing me will have to start shrinking. I have a good feeling about this web site. I feel more supported already.

    First of all, sorry for your loss. Welcome to this site, we are all here for the same reasons (I think), to lose weight and get healthy. Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:

    Welcome Shelley! I am not as bold as you are to remove my size 8s or 10s, but I refuse to buy anything in a size 14. So for now, it will remain all mixed in. I will have a party when I can remove the 12s!!! Happy shedding...

    This is a great site! Its the only thing I've been able to stick with for more than a month! And its definitely a good sign that everyone's tickers show huge success if they've been here awhile. I also love how you can post excercise, and people comment "Good Job! ", i never got a feeling of achievement when no one knew my struggles :P

    feel free to add me :)
