Two Weeks In

Options
I feel good. I've kept at this for a solid two weeks now, and I feel confident that this is the tool that will keep me on track. I'm off to a good start with logging my food, walking, and shedding some pounds! I encouraged my husband, mom, and best friend to sign up, but to this point, I'm the only one really logging in. Since I'm on this site multiple times a day, I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself to the community, get some additional support, and be of some encouragement to others too!

I'm a busy mom of a four-year-old boy, a wife, and full time student out in Portland, Oregon. I'm pretty tall (5'11"), but I have a significant amount of weight to lose, around 160 pounds. So I'll be around this site for a while. :smile:

Good luck to each of you and I hope to make some new friends here!

    Welcome! I think you'll find this site is great. I find it extremely helpful and informative. I also have several friends that I have suggested this site to, but no one seems to take me up on it. They all think they can do it alone, and, like me, they will probably find out that they can't.

    Welcome to the site (I'm in PDX too)... I've found some great encouragement, and it is by far the longest I've ever been able to stick with my weight loss goals. I'm sending you a friend request :)

    Welcome! I'm new to this site, only 3 days, but have already found it an invaluable tool to help keep me on track. The members are very supportive of each other. I have 43 lbs. left to lose to goal weight. My plan is to lose it by Christmas, and Santa's buying me a whole new wardrobe if I do! I look forward to reading your posts and taking this journey with you!
