in Introduce Yourself
Hello all, I'm Leslie, 37, from Pennsylvania. I'm on a mission to lose 60 lbs and could use friends as motivation and support. I do so much better when I can relate to others or have someone that will give me that push to make it through a rough day.

    Hi Leslie, I am Lois from across the border in NY. A friend's dd told me about this--hoping to lose 34 pounds. I started this yesterday and was rather discouraged in that I was under with my calorie intake, yet gained a half pound! How can that be!?

    Hello! I am from Pa as well!! South Central that is. I became a member in April but didn't start my dieting and exercising until 3 weeks ago. I lost 7 lbs so far just from eating better and working out more than I usually would! I am going to add you! :)
