Hello all, I just joined, found out about this site from watching the Today show. What an inspiration Tamara is! I have a lot to lose, more than 140 lbs, so I am looking for support and motivation. Lost my job two years ago, haven't been able to find work, and I am convinced that my weight is not helping me find a new job. I think I packed on 50 more pounds since I've been off, holy cow! So, with all your stories motivating me and recipes, I am hoping I will find the right way to do this and keep it off. Looking forward to chatting with you all!

    Hi there! I just joined too. I want to eventually go from a size 16, 230 lb person to a size 10, 170 person. I'm looking for friends that update regularly. Wanna be neighbors?

    Hi, I've just joined too, and found about it from Fcaebook. I can't believ that something like this exista dn am really excited that it shouldhopefully work!... finally! I'm sure like most of you, you diet, then put it back on and diet again. Well my goal is to lose it for good. This time I really want to keep it off, and I also really want to see where I am going wrong, so that I can stop ding it.

    I currently weigh 151lbs, and basically want to lose the extra bits to eventually go down to around 133 lbs. I'm a bit embarassed saying that, because a lot of people may think I wouldn't need to lose a lot, and not that I do, but I think everyone has different goals and I think it's nice to have something like this so that all types of people can get involved. I really hope I make some friends, and we work together and all actually get somewhere!:smile:
