Hi everyone! Started last Thursday with the four 400 calorie meals a day and beginning an exercise routine.

I'm already down 3 pounds and am excited to keep this up! I saw this site and it looks great! Hopefully it'll keep me honest and motivated.

Sounds like you're off to a great start!

This site has been so wonderful in terms of support for me. I hope you find the same!

Hi K!
Sounds like you're off to a great start with a good plan - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the Calorie Counters and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Thanks everyone! I'm using fatsecret calorie counter. There is an application for my blackberry that syncs online. That way when I'm eating or at the gym I can enter in what I eat and what exercises I do and BAM! It's tracked!

I'm very excited to be a part of this forum! :-)
