for the first time since I can remember I've lost weight since the start of the year, instead of putting any on, so I figured it was about time I got my butt into gear and put a good amount of effort into getting rid of those (many) extra kilos!
looking forward to lotsa lurking, and maybe a little bit of posting
Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
