So... You know how it is, with change. You make one and then a few days.. weeks.. (hours?). .. later you change it right back! :)

I wasn't sure what to expect when I joined, but it's been amazing. 3 weeks on a new eating plan has to be some sort of record for me! The website is easy, I'm seeing results and I'd love to make some more friends so I can stay motivated and contribute something back to the site which is helping me so much!

At the age of 32 now, I'm the heaviest I've -ever- been. I really stacked the weight on when I left my husband of 10 years just after our son was born. (My little boy is 3, almost 4)

The last few years have been challenging, but now I'm really wanting to take control back and feel good, have more energy and look much better so I'll have the courage to get out there and live life to the full. :)

So... now that I think it's safe to say I'll be sticking around..... Hello! :)

    Welcome! Stick with it and work hard and you will be successful. I love the food tracker. I have learned so much in past 8 weeks. I have a lot to lose becuase I let my weight getway from me becuase of my personal life hit the skids. That is in the past and I use these tools everyday to keep me on track and even posted a picture of myself (It is scary because I just don't don't ever post my picture but it is such a motivator for me)

    For me, I log on, i am reminded why I have started this new life plan.
    Good Luck :)

    Welcome! I'm glad you're sticking it out. I'm here to try to reverse the 20+ years of bad choices and cheeseburgers. :)

    Welcome and so glad you're still here!! I've never stuck with anything when it comes to losing weight and there are times I've wanted to not do this too. I've stuck around because the support here is great and keeps me focused on what I want for myself. I am sure you will find that too!! Best of luck on this journey!!!!!
