in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Karen and I am signing up today because of the encouragement of a friend/co-worker. Hopefully the support we can give each other at work every day will help us stay on track! Like many others, I have been battling my weight for years....lots of ups and downs. When I lose weight I always say I will NEVER put it back on again, but I always do. I am hoping to lose the weight I want and finally be able to keep it off!

    Welcome and good luck to you. This has been a godsend for me and I hope it will be the same for you. I've lost 14 pounds since I've been on here and looking to drop about 23 more in my first phase. To me it's as addicting as facebook, much healthier however! Let's all help each other and I look forward to your success!

    This site is amazing for motivation! Not only that, but the ability to track what you eat and what exercise you do seems to be super beneficial, if only to make you aware of what you do and eat. Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like!

    Proud of you Karen!!
    You will be addicted to signing in every day, reading the Message Boards, and accounting your calorie intake. If I can do it, I know you can. We only have one more here to get on our bandwagon ... we will get her when she gets home. :)
