Hi Everyone, Im brand new to this site and happy to have found it. I started my weight loss journey in July of this year(2015). After letting my body go for about four years I finally made the decision to get back in shape. My starting weight was 292(yikes!). My goal weight is to get down to 140lbs. My first mini goal is 279 and im only 3.5lbs away! Hope to meet some new and encouraging people on this site.

Hi Britgetsfit, nice to meet you. Today's my first day here after a long time away and I know both of us can be successful!

Congrats for starting, and welcome! Looks like you have lost almost ten pounds already, way to go! This site is full of awesome people, start looking around and post in a few threads, and you will find some great folks. Good luck!

Hi! I'm just starting out too!, I've started a new thread for new beginners if your interested (I have no idea how to link it in, I presume u can find it through my profile;-)
Good luck!

Hi Britt! Woohoo on the weight you've lost so far and yay on being so close to your first mini-goal! You can do it! Glad to have you here! Good luck!
