:blushing: My name is Gina and I am new to this website, and I like it alot! I really struggle with portion sizes-I usually want more than the "actual" serving size. I always go over my sodium intake no matter what I do! It is in everything! I am excited to start watching the weight come off-I can't believe I let myself go this far-I just feel gross! I am a teacher and I should be a good role model for all students. I really need to be healthy and I want to do it the right way so I don't have to struggle my whole life. I feel with a good mindset, this website, good nutrition, and exercise and my great best friend that is doing it with me I can achieve my goal. It is just hard for me to envision. I wish I could see myself thin again. I hope to talk to some of you throughout my journey of 81 lbs to lose-that is alot of extra weight and fat! Thanks so much, Gina

    Welcome. I only joined a few days ago and love it here. Such a friendly, supportive and fun site. Best of luck to you on your 81 lb weight loss journey.

    Quick, create your ticker and keep it on your signature. Read "Help" section. You'll love having a ticker like everyone else of lbs lost in huge font!! See you on the boards!!
