Hello everyone! I'm Brittnee. I've been using the iphone app for about two weeks, and so far so good... I've lost almost 8 pounds!
Background: I was always thin, until I hit about 20, and then the pounds started packing on! I lost about 30 pounds at the beginning of 2009, and was so happy and proud of myself. I kept it off for months, and then in December of 2009 I found out I was pregnant. So after all that hard work, I put all 30 pounds back on, plus 15 extra! Ever since I had my gorgeous daughter in September of 2010, I've felt terrible about my appearance! Not only am I heavier than I've ever been, but my body took a real beating from the pregnancy and birth, and things aren't going back to the way they used to be shaped... I've finally decided to do something about it!
I've got 52 more pounds to lose to meet my first goal... and then another 40 to meet my second goal! It's going to be a long journey, but I'm determined to do this!
Good luck to all you others on the same journey as me!

Hey, just joined today. I'm reading a lot of success stories and seems like there's a lot of motivation going on around here, so that sounds promising. This seems pretty hard for me, I'm not sure I'll ever be happy with my body. But the least I can do is try to get more exercise in and eat a little better!! Good luck to you!0

8lbs in 2 weeks!! Good for you!! I've joined 2 weeks ago and with having easter dinner yesterday i'm feeling sluggish and unmotivated today:( I'm really hoping it passes and that it's just cause it's somewhat gloomy out again. I just came back from a 30 min walk and am thinking of taking my dogs for a bike ride. Good Luck to you!! Keep up the good work!
