Hi all! My doctor suggested (rather strongly I may add) that I utilize this site to keep track of my intake and exercise! I've been put on a 1200 calorie diet and need to lose roughly 50 lbs. Hard as that is, I need some buddies to help encourage me and I them on our journey!

So far, week 1 and I've lost 5 lbs. I figure some of it is water weight, but I'll take it!

    I have a love hate relationship with this site because it definitely lets you know how many calories you are eating. I was surprised at many things, but it great to keep track, stay with it! :)

    I am new here too. I am so tired of being overweight and hope this site helps. I joined this site a few months back, and didn't stick with it. This time I'm not giving up.

    Im here with you. I acually just started today. I tried dieting in 2007 on my own went from 185-134 lbs in 7mo. and fell off track slowly after i was at a comfort weight. I have never tryed a site like this but a friend of mine said its great so here i am. Currently im 5' 5" and am at 175 with my goal weight of 135. So i feel support would be great this time around to keep my modivation going and to keep the wight off for good this time :) So i will be adding you as well.
