Starting today, June 4th

Options
Today is my first day on this site, so I'm still finding my way around. I have about 35 lbs to lose, and this site looks very user friendly.

    I started today, too. I have at least 15 lbs to lose, but it would be amazing if I could do 20. It's hard, but I'm determined. I've never used a site like this but I need someone / something to hold me accountable.

    Good luck!

    I am also starting today after weighing in at my Dr's office. My initial goal is 10 pounds. Best of luck to all of us newbies.

    I'm starting today, too! I'd been using MyPlate, stopped for a while and decided to get back into it. I have heard that MFP is a bit more accurate.

    I want to lose however much weight that I do between now and June 30 before my first dress fitting. Then I'll maintain until early August/after my wedding. I want to lose a total of 38 pounds. I'd like to lose it in under a year. I think that is reasonable. My MOH just got married a few weeks ago and told me she wants to lose 30lbs in a year starting June 15 so I'm kind of excited to do this with her even if we don't actually work out together.

    Yay! Welcome! I love my iPad app, it's so easy to login and add to your log everyday. If you have an iPad/iPhone I highly recommend it! Good luck on your weight loss!
