I have had a weight problem most of my live and never new it. Tried some other stuff with no lasting success. I am in week two with this and this has being the easiest thing I tried. I would appreciate any support because most of the people around me are overweight and are not trying to lose.

    This is also my first successful weight loss. I've also tried this site a few times, but now it's working.. I started the day after Thanksgiving. I thought at first this is crazy! Who the heck starts to get serious about weight loss during the holidays? The people I work with all were "starting" in January. Most of them are at my goal weight, but they think they're sooooo fat! Ugghhh.
    Anyway, I started and by the time January came, I was down 10 pounds. Since I started, there's that word again, it's been good. I got stuck on a plateau twice for 2 weeks one time and 3 weeks the other. But I'm feeling better, I've gone to the dr., and all of my blood work is better. He said to try for 1 to 2 pounds a week. That's what I've been managing to do. I have a stationery bike that I started riding again in November...thats boring! I bought a wii for Christmas mostly for my 7 year old granddaughter, but I love to box!! It makes me sweat, and according to this site, it burns a decent amount of calories. Gets my frustrations out! Hang in there, and I know lots of people say this....but if I can do it, you can too! I've been overweight for 20 years, now I'm doing it!

    Hey All,
    I am new too ... I need to loose weight as the extra weight is taking a toll on my back! Had slip disk in 2006, and recently had another scare. I can't live like this anymore.
    I started exercising today, after a year. Slow and steady to build up resistance and endurance. My first goal is to get down to 90kilos.
    I really hope this works!

    this site is wonderful. Everyone is here for the same reason and all are very supportive. I started in January and am down 7 lbs. I feel great. I am keeping up with my exercise and watching my calorie intake. Keep up the good work and you will have success!

    I went on the site for the first time yesterday and I think it's the GREATEST support system on-line that I've ever seen. I tracked everything yesterday that I ate and it was a real eye-opener. My goal is 70lbs. away but I'm psyched.
