    You can do it!

    Remember: One meal, one day at a time. It didn't go on all at once, and it might not come off fast, but will go in the right direction with a little effort. In six months you'll be glad you did.

    Welcome!
  • Hi there; I am just in the process of joining too.
    Having a look around and trying to familiarize myself with what this site has to offer.
    My health is not great and over the last few years I have gained and gained.
    I have 100 lbs to lose and am feeling overwhelmed.
    Any and all suggestions, support and ideas are very welcome.

    HI, I've been on this site since October and have lost 21 pounds. I find it is the most successful I've been in 25 years, probably because of the support and accountability. I am faithful about logging everything, even on my "bad" days. I also log in every day. Sometimes I have more time to chat, others just to check in, but I will check up on you and give you encouragement if you need it, or a kick in the ...... if that's what you need. Feel free to add me as a friend.
