Hello, I started using this site a couple days ago and am enjoying it so far. I have set my weight loss goals at 1/2 lb / week because I want to do this slowly. I have lost and gained weight in the past and I swore I would never do anything too restrictive again because it always backfires. I have healthy eating habits but have portion control challenges and emotional eating can come into play... Anyway, my goal is to lose 50 lbs and I'm hoping this site will provide accountability and support. None of my friends have weight problems and although they are loving and supportive they don't really get it. I used to teach aerobics and now walking for a half hour is about all I can manage. I'm looking forward to feeling more energetic and confident again. Thanks in advance! Megan

    Hello and welcome. I understand the struggle. I use to be super active at the gym but stooped about 6 years ago and it has been difficult to get back into it. Feel free to add me if you'd like:smile:
