I'm new

Hi everyone, just logged onto this after been recommended by a friend. Does it really work? I need to lose weight for a holiday next year after having twin girls 11 months ago xx

    Hi, I'm new too. Don't know if it works, but can't hurt can it?! How much do you want to lose?

    Welcome!

    I think this site only works as well as you let it. If you do everything properly it works wonderfully - check out the "success stories" section for proof.

    I'm new too, just started a little over a week ago, but I've already lost 4 lbs just from fixing my habits :D

    You get out what you put in. I'm still new (only a month logging religiously) but this site has helped me immensely. It has held me accountable for my eating habits and has opened my eyes to things that I thought were healthy. AKA that salad with all the fixings...

    I'm new too...on day two. From all the positive feedback I'm hoping this will help me stay motivated and hold me accountable for what I'm eating and if I'm exercising. I don't have any friends yet on here, but would love to have some!

  • Hi Everyone,
    I'm new also. Just signed up a few minutes ago. I have diabetes and high blood pressure. I have already lost 20 pounds but have since stopped losing weight and I know it's because I haven't been exercising like I should. As a result of losing 20 pounds my dr. has taken me off my diabetic medication and wants me to start controlling it with my diet and excercise. So I'm hoping this tool with help me keep track of my diet and exercise.

    Yes, but just as everything else in life it will depend on how much you put into it. People on this site are fabulous for motivation, tips, advice, recipes, great laughs, but the work is all on you!. Those you chose to have with you will be a fantastic support system if you so chose to stick with it.

    It really works, just get a good group of friends, nice mix of more experienced and new ones and go for it. Forums can be a bit tricksy as there are a lot of people who are very dedicated to their point of view, but other than that a totally awesome place to get the job done. I've been here for 235 days so far, not quitting any time soon.

    It absolutely does work! But, as others have said, you have to use the tools and modify your eating habits.
    I'm down about 18 pounds in 5 weeks.

    Feel free to add me.
