Hi,
I'm Carol a/k/a cat. I have about 100 pounds to lose. I'm setting my goals at 10 pounds at a time. Today is my first day on here so I am trying to get familiar. Good luck to all.

    Welcome, Cat! I'm Karen, and I live in Havelock, NC, where eating is practically a sport! I've been doing this for about a week now. I have to lose 28 pounds, and just counting the calories, I've lost about 4 pounds. I'm just trying to become aware of what I eat, when, where and why. Last week, I only worked on the awareness part and not going over my daily caloric intake (out of 7 days or so, I've been successful four days out of 7, which I consider successful!

    Good luck to you; if you ever need words of encouragement or just to vent, please email me! We can do this; piece of cake (no pun intended)!!

    I was just going to ask the same question! I'm in Rochester too!

    This is a fantastic resource to use in achieving your goals. I'm starting on week 2 and am in love with this site. It's fun, easy and a wonderful community of people with great info. There is a group I just joined here on the message boards for those with 100 pounds to lose. Friend me if you'd like! :)
