    I am new as well, just joined last night actually! Heard about it from a friend and would love some new friends to help hold me accountable as well. My weakness is definitely sweets and I have good and bad days trying to stay away but thinking that some extra support will help me stick to it. So far since mid-end of February I have lost 5 1/2 pounds so far! Add me if you would like :-)

    Hi Everyone,

    I just joined "officially" last night but have been dieting since Monday. I too would love some new "friends" to help each other along.

    Someone on this post mentioned bringing their "HRM" when they walk. Do they mean Heart Rate Monitor? And if so, where do you get one?

    Its a beautiful day in Massachusetts...2nd in a row...I am feeling hopeful we all can do this!

    Hi everyone! I just joined today as well! I was using a food/weight loss tracker on self.com but I love what myfitnesspal.com has to offer. I started working out and really eating healthy last week but I've lost 11 pounds over a 3 week time frame. I'm tired of being over weight and I'm sick of talking about "wanting to lose weight".. I'm known for being a yo-yo dieter but I can't keep doing this to myself. I have a beautiful little girl who is 2, and my husband is deploying this summer..

    I'd love to share this journey with all of you, so friend me if you're interested!!

    Good luck everyone!!

You'll find oodles of folks here willing to both encourage you and help you to remain honest and accountable in regards to your calorie intake and exercise dedication. Best wishes on your journey!

    HRM is heart rate monitor. I have a Polar FT7 and love it. because I know exactly how many calories I burn during a workout. It also tells me how many mins of my workout burned fat and how many were fitness/conditioning. You can get them at sporting goods stores (****s, Academy, or Sports Authority) or online.

    Whoops - I forgot to quote before my last post. I'm still learning how to use this site! lol

    Hey girl, I'm new here too. A co worker turned me on to this site and it has really helped me alot. If you're anything like me, you feel guilty cheating on this thing. lol I wish you much success and maybe we can help each other out. How old is your little boy? I have a two year old daughter. You'd think chasing after her I'd be skin and bones! Anyways, have a great night and keep in touch!
