Hi there! I am excited to find a forum where I can talk to others about weight loss. I started my weight loss journey about 7 weeks ago and I am down 18.8 lbs so far, My first big goal is to be under 200lbs and that is 24 lbs away. I am calorie counting to lose weight. I lost 30 lbs four years ago and then gained it all back plus 10 more. This time will be forever. I have no doubt about it. Can't wait to learn from those who have been doing this a while and were able to maintain as well.
