Hello everybody!

So many people starting on Sunday! Weekend is a good time to sit back and look back and try to change or improve your health/weight :)

In my case, I'm not very good with goals; I've never set any goals for my life therefore I don't get so motivated so often. I'm praying Heaven for some self consciousness and energy to loss some weight (I need to drop 10kg = 20kg to stay on my ideal weight)

Hope to make so friends and find support here! :)

Greetings from Argentina,
Leti

    Oh man, is it even possible to lose weight in Argentina? If I were back there i'd be eating all the Asado, Empanadas, Dulce de Leche, Facturas, Pepas and Alfajores I could eat :)

    Hi Madrock! Actually that pic is my goal, I had 10 kg less than now :) (and few year less as well! )

    Actually my sedentary lifestyle is my main problem: sitting behind a computer 24/7 = half for work and half for fun = need to change my sedentary ways asap!

    Oh I know, it's probably a good thing that I'm not living there now. Heard the exchange rate was up to 4:1 which is a shame. I'll send you a friend request :)

    This is a great place to get support and learn healthy eating habits. My wife (hootsmamma)and I have really done well and lost a small person between us. The great friends and encouragement is incredible. Welcome and good luck! If you need support friend us.

    OK, my first day ends with 300 calories saved :)

    It feels really good, I'm not hungry at all and I have read so many wonderful stories/blogs/posts throughout the day that it makes me wanna continue tomorrow!

    See u tomorrow all!
