Hi, my name is Donna and I just joined this site today before I left for work but now that I am home, I did some looking around. I haven't always been overweight but the last 5 yrs I have been and I am hoping to lose about 30 lbs. I could use all the help I can get.

    Hey Donna..welcome ! I have only been on this site for approx 2 1/2 weeks, so I am really new to it all. These last few weeks have been amazing though ! I haven't felt more energized or goal-oriented in a loooong time. I have been walking 5 days a week and eating healthier/less. I'll step up the challenge again for myself in a week or two and just keep going I hope. I really like the fact that you can talk to anyone on here and someone will always give you the encouragement you need. Good Luck with everything !

    Hi again. I have some health issues, nothing too serious at the moment. I just quit smoking and want to lose all this weight I have managed to gain with it and from the past few yrs. I just got a treadmill today and I am really depending on it to help me. I am not one for much outside walking. I really need to change my eating habits too. I work at a fast food restaurant and that makes things pretty tough. LOL

    Hey just checking is to see how everyone was doing today? BABY steps is right ! Somedays seem harder than others....but I am still going. It was a lot easier to put the weight on though, lol. No, I lost 5 lbs and am seriously excited about more to come. I really like the idea of it being a change in lifestyle though, NOT a diet. Hope all is well !
