    Well, I mean the end of April. And I started two weeks ago. So, it's about 10lbs a month. Definitely do-able.

    Thanks, everyone!

    I love to eat and I am following a complex carb eating plan and I have lost 36 lbs. in 41/2 months. I am never hungry. I eat 6 times a day, 3 meals and 2 snacks of protein,complex carbs like wheat,grains,nuts etc I could never exist on salads and I could never keep it going to maintain.This is my new way of eating and a way of life not a "diet".Go on the net and look up complex carb eating plans and follow according to your taste. I eat pizza,hamburgers,pasta etc. but in moderation and I watch portion controls. This site is a god send too because I plan my meals before I eat them! Let me know how you do. Maria

    Hi, I'm 5'10" hoping to lose 25lb, problem is, I didn't grow this tall without having a really big appetite!

    Need to retrain myself on portion size and tone up by doing some exercise (rather than the none I normally do!)

    Would love complany on my journey.

    Hi I'm 5"7 hoping to lose 20 by April (HS reunion) - I don't want to look anything like my yearbook picture.

    I'm set at 1200 and try not to use my exercise calories.

    All, feel free to add me, I need friends and encouragement. I promise to do the same for you.
