Hi, my name is Kathy and I've decide to take control and lose lots of weight. Right now I'm going into my senior year in college and I want that time to be fun. I'm tired of being the fat friend and feeling like a loser when I hang out with my friends. When I graduate college in exactly a year, I was to be totally different. I mean, I want to wear a dress on that stage when I accept my diploma! Hopefully this site can help me out with my plan. I've even logged my food intake for 3 days and bought a bike. Doesn't seem like much, but for me it's a HUGE deal. Hopefully meeting people on this site will encourage me to keep going and not give up after a week. :)

    good luck! You are on the right track! Like you, I don't want to come to the end of this year and be in the same place I started at. Stick with it and you will do well

    Hi Kathy - I'm a newbie too! And I totally understand what you mean...I've struggled with weight so much since college and I too and working to look hot in a dress! Calorie counting hasn't worked very well for me in the past because I wasn't balancing my diet. But this site is really helping me to do that and I'm learning that how much bigger of an impace what I eat has on my weight than the amount of time I spend excercising. I started using it just over a week ago and I've already lost 8 pounds! And that's without any intense exercise - I'm so happy and I hope you get the same instant gratification. Congratulations on your decision to take control. Anytime you feel like you need support, feel free to message me :-)
