Hi, I was just referred to this website by my nutrionist. I'm trying to loss weight, get back some speed in my running (I feel they are related for me), and find something that will work for me and my family. Would love friends, ideas and tips, support, help with gripping about chocolate, etc....!lol Just really want something that will work this time. Have done weight watchers, and while I loved the meetings and support, never seemed to click whole life changes for me. Hoping just being good and watching things, without shelling out money every month, will help.
