Only to the website though! Before being directed to this site, I have lost 83 lbs on my own but I still have a long way to go. I am 28 years young and married with no kids. I would love to meet new people and create an awesome support network :smile:

    Hi there! First let me say, congrats on your weight loss! That is awesome! How did you do it? I am new to this site, but have struggled with my weight all my life. I am really enjoying getting to know people and exchanging diet and exercise tips. I wish you luck in your weight loss endeavors.

    @yellowcorvettegirl - plain and simply, I just watch what I eat and exercise 3-5 times a week. I try to keep my calories between 1200-1500 a day and keep my sodium intake under 2300mg/day. I never really considered or calculated in calories burned from exercise. Since joining this site, and having it done for me automatically, it's been an eye opener and I anticipate excellent results to come! :)

    @sara - thank you for being the 2nd person in a 12 hour period to recommend the website to me, because that was my trigger to actually check it out. I love being held accountable for what I eat and I think this is going to be fantastic for me!

    @stuablett - thank you! It was fun when I hit the 75 lb mark because that's how much my dog weighs and it's crazy to think I had that much extra weight on my body. Congrats to you on the 36 lb mark!
