in Introduce Yourself
Hello, just thought I would say hello to everyone. My sister and I resolved last night to lose weight after some rude awakenings, and I found this amazing website...love it already.

Would love to share stories, tips and encouragement with other members as well. Good luck everyone!

    Hello and congrats on deciding to change your life!

    Feel free to add me as I'm on here every day! I enjoy motivating with others!

    Also, please check this out.

    This will help with any fads, and myths. Many many many fads and myths are spread around this forum. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. If I get specific here, the trolls and bro-scientists tend to get offended and like to start arguments and tell other people they are wrong regardless of anything. I likely won't be returning to you're thread because of that.

    Anyhow, congrats on a new lifestyle! I hope you have the best kind of success!

    Be careful, you two!

    The phone app, the calorie counting, the forums, the fitbit device...

    ...its all very addictive.

    You'll be having fun and steadily losing weight if you're not careful!

    Hello I just got on this site today. A friend told me about it. And she has had great success, so I thought I would try it. I am looking for friends to hold me accountable. I am a 2 year breast cancer survivor and gained a lot of weight during my chemotherapy. I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction.
