Compared to the other success stories this one is nothing special...but it is to me! I joined this site yesterday and made a commitment to myself to lose an excess 50+ pounds. I started my food log yesterday and today I actually got off my butt and exercised! Only walked about a mile and was on the Tony Little's Gazelle…

Hi, I hear ya sister! I live alone so I am in control of what is in my kitchen cabinets and drawers but that does not stop me from eating too many of them when I get discouraged. I joined this site yesterday at the suggestion of a friend. I am so glad I did. I consider this my first step in the right direction and so…
