So far I really like this web site! I was referred to by a friend and was just months away from getting the lapband, and thought it was worth one more try before I decided on surgery. I'm 27 years old and have been on the heavy side most of my life. It wasen't until recently my weight went out of my "comfort zone"! :noway: I work out everyday on my Wii Fit, I know that sounds silly but It really, really helps! I used to be an immediate results kind of girl, that is until I eventually learned...it just isn't going to happen that way! Anyhow...really excited and am super happy I was introduced to this website.:happy: Any advice will be surely WELCOMED! ♥ :flowerforyou:

    Hello!

    This site is my alternative strategy to joining Weight Watchers-- again. Journaling, planning and generally being conscious of my food consumption is my goal here. This looks like just the kind of site I need.

    Best wishes to all of you who are joining me on this journey.
