Hi, I'm new on this site. I saw this in a magazine and didn't know this was even available. Sooooo here goes. I used to be 340 lbs. then lost down to 189 lbs but have in the last year put back on more poundage to the tune of 240. I've started walking and trying to work myself up to 10,000 steps. I'm getting older and have always been overweight and am so tired of it. I've learned alot throughout my journey and my relationship with food and want to continue to push through till I reach my goal. This site appeared to be what I'm looking for. One thing I've learned is that God can use anything,anything at all to help accomplish the purpose He has for us. :flowerforyou:

    Great you made the change. So far after a month, the community has been great. However I have noticed through friends and my girlfriend, the lingering amount of creepos, so beware.

    You bet, I am God fearing, not in fear of Him just in awe and reverance of Him and all that He does. Thank you for the encouragement. One question, how do you add people? God bless you.

    Hi - I've been on this site over 1 week - it's the best I've found, has an amazing food database. I lost 37 lbs under the guidance of a nutritionist 2 years ago, while recovering from breast cancer treatment. And have gained 20 back. So, my goal is to lose 17 of the twenty to be at a healthy weight. I've also started working out at a gym, so my other goal is to be fit and in shape. I'd welcome new friends to help me on my journey.
