Hi Everyone,
I recently joined this site and have found it to be an excellent resource.
I have had a weight problem since childhood and am a classic yo yo dieter. I am highly motivated to get my weight under control for good. The doctors want me to have Gastric bypass surgery which is something that scares the hell out of me. Since they recommended surgery I have been making changes in my diet and started walking. I had hit a plateau after losing about 20 pounds. At that point I started using this site to keep a diary and have lost another 10 pounds in the past 4 weeks. I always resisted keeping a food diary but this site makes it ridiculously easy. I am looking forward to making some friends here and using the support network that this site offers. I still have a long way to go but it feels good to be heading in the right direction.

Cheers,

Dave
