Hi Guy's kinda new here- I've read lots of cool posts and thought I'd actually join! A little a bout me : I've struggled wit my weight almsot my whole life I'm now 26 and realize I want to look good while I'm young and have the ability to do this safely! I've lost weight before but no more then 35-40 lbs- this time I'm gonna do it! I'm going to make my goal weight! I started out at 306lbs- I never thought I'd get that big! but anyways Dec 9th 2008 I started my new lifestyle an since I have lost 15.4.lbs! I'm doing a low calorie diet trying to eat anywhere from 1100-1400 cals a day!

I'd love to hear from some of you who are also doing a low calorie diet- this whole low cal thing is new to me each time I've lost weight before it was by doing low carb! I find low cal less restrictive though! And I'm lovin it thus far!

My husband is also doing this with me and he's lost 17.7 lbs! It's great to have some one to do this with! But I know the support that this forum could offer me will be helpful too! here to all of you and your weight loss! oh yeah can some one tell me how to put the weight loss tickers at the bottom like you guys do?

Hi - Welcome! I hope you like it here.. there are some amazing ladies (and a few guys that I've seen here and there) here!

As far as the tickers in the signature spot - if you click on UserCP at the top of your screen to the far left, you'll see that you have to be a member here for 20 days and have at least 20 posts before you can implement the signature feature. That's to keep spammers from taking advantage of that feature and spamming the forum with ads.

I hope you enjoy it here - I'm addicted!

thanks for letting me know that- I couldn't figure out for the life of my how to add the ticker..LOL- but I have one on my myspace and that is where I also blog abotu my weight loss

Congratulations on saying goodbye to the 300's forever! You're doing a great job! Low cal is easy compared to the other diets. Just make sure that what you choose is the best choice. Get plenty of vitamins, fiber, protein, etc. I'm a firm believer that if you give your body the nutrition it requires, you won't be as hungry and you'll overall just feel better throughout the weight loss.

We have a 300+ forum that you may get a lot of benefit from, and we also have a great Calorie Counters forum where you'll learn everything you need to know.
