Hi Ladies. May I join in? I've been counting calories (abt. 1400 a day) since the first of January and getting in my 80 oz of water a day. To date, I have lost 4 lbs (i know it's most likely water).

I'm excited to have a group to chat with since no one I hang out with is exercising.

Hi,
Would it be okay for me to join?
I just gave birth to my first baby two months ago and now I'm 50lbs heavier:(
I've been trying for the past three weeks to get back on track but I can't seem to do it. I'm 5'8 and the last time I weighed myself I was 207:/
I'm giving it one more try...
