Hi, I'm Shari, and like many of you I joined after seeing the Today Show (8/9/10). I just started a "Today Show Club" support group in the support and motivation section of the message boards. I would love it if anyone else who is starting today (or anyone for that matter, lol) would join the club! Here is the link to the Today Show Club thread:

    Shari and everyone: I also caught the Today Show this morning and caught this segment, so count me in. I was kind of hoping they would mention the web site again. Tamara said the site but said it very quickly. Anyway, count me in the group. My name is Sharon Jones and my email is sljones@shc.edu. I love the fact that this is a free website dedicated to losing weight and would enjoy hearing how everyone else is doing, also.

    I checked out this site because of the Today show too. I had just finished working out and was drinking water and relaxing. What perfect timing for the segment to be on! I only started working out again last week.

    my friend likes to watch the Today Show online so you might be able to find it on nbc.com instead of trolling through youtube for it

    I found this app on my ipod a couple months ago, but lost motivation until I saw the show this morning. I'm 26 and am getting ready to start paramedic class in two weeks. I refuse to be a fat medic that gets winded on scene. I have 100lbs to lose, but my first goal is to get under 200lbs. I'm 242 right now.

    I'm here because of the Today Show too! Tamara was very inspiring and this seems like a great website. Time to stop delaying the dreaded diet and excersing and just do it! If Tamara can lose 141 pounds I ought to be able to lose 50! :smile:

    I am also here because of the today show. I love that this is a free site and am looking forward to building a group of supportive friends. Now the challenge for me is going to be to count calories and stay on track so any helpful ideas I can get will be greatly appreciated. I believe that silly saying from the 70's is appropriate now "Today is the first day of your entire life". Let's do it together!

    Hi everyone, I'm Denise from Calif...I too joined after watching the Today Show. I have about 25 to lose before I turn 50 in December. I LOVE to cook and I love my couple of glasses of wine in the evenings when I let the goats out to play. I know I can lose the weight, I've done it before but those of you who are in your later 40's probably have found like myself that it just doesn't come off as easily as it use to. Sigh! I was just recently in a car accident and before that I tore my hamstring trying to water-ski on the 4th. Before the hamstring injury I was hiking five miles a day and feeling GREAT. Now, I'm back to... I'll sit and watch a Netflix and have a glass or two of wine. Another sigh! The hamstring is on the mend, not totally back to the way it was and my neck is still stiff. Still, that isn't a reason to sit...I know I need to move, move, move, we all need to move, move, move. I'm hoping all of you can keep me moving and motivated. Good luck to us all! =)

    I joined today after seeing the segment on The Today Show with Hoda & Kathie Lee. What an inspiration and I had no idea that this website existed! I am so grateful because I need something like this to help me stay focused on motivated! I actually had a mini gastric bypass back in the spring of 2001 and lost 147 lbs but sadly have gained about 50 of them back. I now realize that having the surgery was just a tool and that I need to be in control of what I'm eating and that I need to get off this couch/recliner and MOVE!

    There is something to be said for checking in and writing everything down. i like having the exercise log-in so that I can see how much my workouts are helping in the calorie in vs. calorie out!!!!!!
