No hook ups or pervs allowed! This is serious! I keep taking steps back because I eat for the joy of it. Sometimes I say "what the hell, this piece of chocolate wont matter" then before I know it I have had 5...7...10 pieces! I AM READY! I have been on here for a few weeks and have only lost 11 pounds. Dont get me wrong losing 11 pounds is better then gaining them, but I feel I can work harder. It will be awesome to have the support of others who arent afraid to be blunt and encouraging at the same time. Likewise I will do the same for you when possible. Helping others helps remind me to take my own advice!

    I always want to be blunt and honest when looking at peoples diaries but I find if I make an honest assessment of the diary and comment the person takes it the wrong way. Most people just say.. WTG or good job no matter what their diary says. I believe in encouragement but at the same time i also want to help the person. If I see where there is no sodium or fat posted for something that we all know has fat and sodium I will mention it. I would be happy to have someone do the same for me to keep me in line also! If this works for you add me as a friend and I will add you!

    Good luck either way with your journey to a new you!

    I'm honest/blunt when a question has been asked...

    I do look at people's diaries and wonder... but I don't say anything until my opinion has been asked....

    i'd be more than happy to help you. My wife and I have been on here for a few months and have and are loving it. Its a great sight for tracking your food and excercise and for seeking and getting help. Part of using this site as a motivator is knowing that some days it wont be praise you need, but a kick up your virtual back side!! Add me if you think i can help. Jeff
