in Introduce Yourself
Hello All! Actually taking the time this afternoon to familarize myself with the site and download the app on my phone.
Love the concept of the open forum, and the possibility of connecting with others "going through the same thing".
Live in Las Vegas, NV, have a highly demanding career and family.
My weight has taken a huge hike over the last year - to the point that it is starting to affect my health, my job and my attitude.....guess this is what is called "hitting rock bottom"
Have signed up for a 5k in June and have a lot of work to do (100+ pounds to lose)
Looking forward to meeting and supporting others.
Here's to a great week ahead!

    Welcome. You are in the right place. I joined this site a couple of weeks ago and love it. The people are nice and very supportive. I can relate to you - I have been struggling with my weight and I hit rock bottom too. Now, all I want to do is lose the weight, be healthy and happy. I just started running again and I love it. Know that you can do this and you are going to be so proud of yourself after you reach each goal. Feel free to add me as a friend. GOOD LUCK with your journey.

    Welcome to you! This is a great place for motivation and encouragement and most of all, for accountability. I always thought I wasn't eating much but once I started actually seeing it with the calorie counts, it was an eye opener. Now I'm finally on the right track!!

    By the way, I'm heading to Las Vegas in about a month for a much needed warm weather getaway!
