Hello...new member here

Hello everyone..Im Olga , from Puerto Rico and I just joined and im hoping to do good here...I hope to make lots of friends and lots of motivation here. I haave been to the motivation area and its great...Ive also been checking the recipes..Wish me luck . Thanks.

I love this site!  Good luck to you!  What are your goals?

Hi and thanks so much for your comment...well...my goals are to finally rid myself of all this extra weight befor I turn 55. I am "healthy" my cholesteral , sugar levels and everything else is perfect. I know if I get rid of 75/80 pounds I have latched to me .....I will feel much much better. My goal is to do it 10 pounds at a time ..80 sounds like so much...so I will try to get rid of at least 8/10 a month..maybe too much??

CC recommends around 2lbs a week so I would aim for 8 or so a month.  :)  Best of luck to you!

Dear Irikeliris, I'm so happy to hear how well you are doing. I think keeping track of what you eat and how many calories your taking in is the thing that keeps me going. I have been on it since May 20th and so far I've lost 10lbs. I wish you a lot of luck. We can keep an eye on each other for encoragement. Toni in Maine, USA.

Hi Olga,

I am new to this website also, I would like to lose 40 lbs.  After years and years of dieting, I have a hard time sticking to any plan.  I am from Oregon, maybe we could keep in touch an encourage one another. Cindy
