    Welcome! I like you am ready for a change that's why i'm here. You will find so much information and the people are just great. Best thing i have found to help me here is the food journal really makes me account for what im putting in my mouth week 3 and im down 8lbs. I don't think it would happen though if i werent hitting the gym. When i dont go to the gym i walk my dog so i get at least some kind of exercise in.. Good luck on your journey this is the beginning of your new life. :flowerforyou: Julie

    I feel you.... I love this site and I dont think I could do it without this site either. It helps me with exercise so much. I think I just love to type in how many calories I burn and see it on here. Not only that even if you only lose a lb here or there it adds up and you can see it on your ticker then. The people here are great and there are so many challenges to help motivate also. Good Luck to you
