I'm 34 and struggled with weight a long time. I'm ready to take back my body, and regain my life. I've always kept my weight loss, or lack there of to myself, and its gotten me no where. I'm ready to come clean and be held accountable. Thanks for all your help and support.

    Welcome, welcome, welcome! I have to say I joined 16 days ago. I've tried things in the past, but never really tried...until I found this website. It's so easy to use, you have support, and did I mention it's FANTASTIC! I'm held accountable, I can see how many calories I'm eating, along with a few other things, and I love it! Here's to hoping you love it as much as I do. Best of luck to you!

    just one tip... be totally honest with yourself... if you had two cookies but you know you should have only had one, put two! some people who are in denial arent honest on thier food diary and end up going way over their calories.

    Welcome!! I'm so glad you are here! You are taking a positive first step to what I think will be lasting change for you. :)
    Some things to keep in mind-

    Set realistic goals- and even if you don't meet them right away, know that you are on a journey, and you will get there.
    Be human. Perfection is for the movies and books and dramas we see on tv. Embrace your imperfections, and love yourself NO MATTER WHAT, and the change you are looking for will come.
    Log in everyday, and track your calories. If you get confused by anything- ask or head to the forums. I've not been here long, but already I have found a ton of information and support.
    Move, even if just a little at first. Exercise will make you feel good, and increased stamina will show you that you are making progress.
    Stay off the scale for awhile- and when you do get on to check in- just remember- your weight is NOT your worth.

    GOOD LUCK!
