I'm going to look GOOD in a dress...

Hello from the great (frigid) state of Michigan. I have been trying to lose weight the past year or so, but it seems like nothing is working. In fact, I gained more weight while I had a gym membership than I ever have before in my life!
Until I logged my calories today, I did not realize that the reason I have been steadily gaining weight is because the amount of calories I consume daily is WAY over the amount to maintain my current weight. (It seems so simple now!)
Lately, I have been having dreams that I am running, and I want to make these dreams a reality. I have been waiting for a website like this to help wake me up out of my warm calorie filled blanket I have been under!
I am hoping to make some friends on here, and hopefully some day soon I will post a picture of myself looking darn good in a dress ;)

    Yeah girl! You can do it. I am from Wisconsin so it's hard to work out in the winter time! I want to look good in all of my dresses this summer too. No tummy or arms to worry about in pictures, I hope! Free free to add me :)

    From the frigid state of Michigan also!
    Definitely share the dream of looking good in a dream and the dream of running. Just want to wait for the snow to melt before attempting the running. :)

    I read your post and have to admit that your message hit home with me. I have been following what I believe to be a low carb diet for the past several years and think I am doing well but the pounds do not come off.
    So, I found this website/phone app today and am doing the same thing. This constant reminder will make me think twice of putting something in my mouth. Now to keep the momentum!

    Yes...... We all can do it..... Just seems daunting when you think you are alone.... I support you all in the "FRIGID ZONES" but being accountable to each other will be motivation enough.... :smile:
