Hello everyone,

I signed up last night and I like what I see already. I LOVE that everyone can interact with each other and give out helpful tips and advise and we can see how everyone is doing! This is just amazing! I invited a few friends so we can motivate each other and I think they will love this too. I have always been chubby since high school; although, I would love to be the size I was in high school now! I just want to lose about 25 pounds and then keep it off. I am glad I found this app and site. Wish everyone the best of luck and look out for my post when I reach my goal! =)

Vanessa

    Well I have a long term goal of loosing 25 lbs before August 31st and dropping at leat 4 pants sizes. I also have short term goals that are broken up unto weekly intervals. Basically I am starting off working out at least 5 hours a week and maintaining a 1200 caloric intake. So this week I am working out Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday for 1 hour and 40 min each to make up my 5 hours. I can't focus on too much too soon or else I will become overwhelmed and lose focus.

    If I was able to stop smoking after being a heavy smoker for over 10 years, then I sure as hell can do this! =)
