in Introduce Yourself
Hello- I have a friend who has lost 30 lbs so far using this website. I'm starting one last time to lose the weight it has taken me 6 years to put back on after having taken 5 years to take off 115 lbs. I have bone on bone arthritis in my knees and both my doctors are telling me (which I already know) that losing the weight will greatly reduce the pain. I have the mobile app on my Ipod so am hoping this community will help. Here's to a great year in 2011 !:bigsmile:

    Oh, and give a look at the "success stories with pictures" and you will drop your jaw!!! These people are amazing! Be sure to take a "before" picture. I deleted most of my before's and kept the ones I thought I looked pretty slim in LOL, not so much!!! Now I wish I had kept one of the more realistic ones to compare! Most people are also sorry they hadn't put in measurements until a few inches lost later, too.

    You can do it!! Log in every single day. Even if you have other help, this site supports any weight loss effort routine!
