in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

Been using this site for 3 weeks now and lost 7lbs which pleases me no end! Plan to carry on until I'm happy (which'll be around the 175lb mark, so another 20lb to go). I've been reading the forum during this time so thought it was about time I said hello and joined in :)

Got the calorie count set at the 2lb a week mark and seem to be achieving that. Weight training and an over-enthusastic dog that needs walking seems to be helping me.

So, hello!

    Welcome! It's great to see that the site has been helping you but keep in mind you don't want to lose the weight too fast. Becoming healthy should also be done in a healthy manner! Not trying to criticize, just don't want you to run into any problems like some of my family members have. Cheers!

    Mermx,

    Early on yes, but I had some family members maintain that even when they were closer to the weight acceptable to their height/age. It's caused a lot of problems for them and I can't help but feel a little bit of momma bear come out when I see others trying to lose weight quickly.

    Thanks guys. No, I'm not trying to lose too quickly although the quality of my diet's gone to pot but I'll recify that. But I appreciate the concern.
