Hi, I'm new at this, I started charting here on myfitnesspal 10 days ago, when a friend recomended it to me. I'm so glad I found this place. In the short time that I have been here it's been a great help to me. I have lost 6 pounds so far.

    Thank you, fullofjoy 720 & ttoombs. I would like to lose about 30 more pounds. I've been on my tred mill 30 - 45 minutes every day for the past 10 days, and have kept my calorie in- take down. Last Tuesday I showed a 6 pound drop on my scale but it hasn't budged since then, I'm trying very hard to not get discouraged.
    Thanks again for the warm welcome.

    Oh, don't get discouraged, Pam! The first week is usually a GREAT week on the scale, but the second week can make you want to quit. Don't let the scale win! Just keep logging your food & exercise & you'll have great success. Welcome! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you very much, 3babybeans & Lauramg. I sort of messed up last night and had a few glasses of wine and ate chocolate cake. YIKES! Oh well,,, back on the tred mill today, I am not going to let myself get discouraged. I'm feeling good and I'm thinking if one week can make me feel good I wonder how I will feel in a month.
    This is a wonderful website, and your support is greatly appreciated.
