Newbie here! I have what feels like a TON to loose. I have let myself go for far too long and now I'm afraid I'll dye soon if I don't do something. I'm hoping that joining this group will help, since, like most of you I'm sure, I've tried almost all the diets ~ WW, Lean Line, Atkins, Protien Shakes, etc. ~ and failed. I think that this group might be the answer becasue I have been able to stick to this 'lifestyle change' for a week now and don't feel at all deprived. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks for the support!!!! And good luck to all the other newbies!!!!

(5 down; weigh in tonight; 165 to go)

BTW, can anyone tell me why my weight tracker isn't showing in this message or how to add a 2nd one to track mini goals??

Oops! Forgot to introduce myself. My name is Debbie and I'm 52 from central NJ.

Hi and Welcome Debbie
In one of the FAQ threads there is an explanation how to put the trackers in, Here is another one:http://tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php
good luck on your decision to get healthy, I made the same decision a few weeks ago to become healthy because of how bad my body felt, and just loosing 20 lbs has made a great difference. I am just counting calories, and exercising, I began slow and now do more , you can do the same.
Good luck on your journey!!

Thanks for the encouragement Cheryl. Good luck to you as well. And thanks for the info on the trackers ~ I must have missed that one. There's a lot of info on this site.
