Hello all!!

I found this site by accident and playing on the site I think this is what I need to drop the excessive weight I have to lose. I have been up and down over the years and when I got on the scale this morning I almost started to cry. I am making the commitment to start my weight loss journey and stick to it as of today. Falling "off the wagon" and then quitting has been my specialty so I am in need of all the support I can. Day 1 and 70 pounds to lose!!

    You are going to love this site. It has certainly helped me to be accountable and keep going. The first step is the hardest but it's a step in the right direction. Good luck today.

    Don't cry ;-( nothing changed except you got on the scale. So, good for you, you got on the scale and took action. I didn't have a lot to lose but I found this site amazingly helpful. Even if you get nothing out of it other than logging ALL of your food/drink etc., its worth every minute. You''ll be amazed at how differently you'll look at the foods you eat.

    Good luck to you and we'll a village so get conneced.:flowerforyou:

    This is day one for me too. In fact, I could have written your post. :smile:
    This site looks amazing, and I am really optimistic that this is exactly what I need to get this weight off and keep it off.
