Hi from Florida......

So I weigh a ton (more like 309 but might as well call it a ton since that's what it feels like-lol) and I'm finally tired of letting food control my life.

Lurking through another webiste I met MollyMouser who inspired me and told me about her successful weightloss thanks to this site. I was so impressed I decided to join and I'm glad I did. I hope to make a lot of friends and receive some much needed tough love. Living alone makes it very easy to hide and eat anything I want. Hoping this site will prevent that.

Hi Cory~

I'm new here too and also from Florida :)

Hubby and I are both finally committed to getting rid of the excess weight and not letting food surround our days.  But I definitely feel like I have the extra advantage with the help of this site.  As long as you log everything you eat, it's just like having someone watching over your shoulder counting calories with you :)

Hey Sunny- What part of Florida are you from? Hope it's not too far north- the weather is brutal right now! lol

Definitely think this site helps a lot. I think what helps me the most is seeing everything in black and white. Plus keeping count of everything makes you think twice about those high calorie treats or meals.

Hey fellow Floridians,  I just wanted to say Welcome corymia and sunny.  This site has really been helping me along.  I didn't start too long ago and have really learned a lot in a short period of time.  The support on here is great and I wish you two the very best.

Hi Aaron! Thanks for the support. I am definitely trying to come here everyday, maintain my log and realize that I'm not in this alone. It has definitely helped. I wish you luck as well!

Hi!  I'm in Florida as well, and just joined today, haven't uploaded a picture yet.  I am trying to get back on track and lose 40 pounds, again.......I don't usually do well with on line forums, but this site is different--very easy to use, great tools, and really lets you know how you are doing on a day to day basis.  Plus, I like that it incorporates the nurtrition analysis as well.  I don't just want to lose weight, I want to be healthy and I want to maintain a new healthy lifestyle, not just diet.  I appreciate all the support that I'm finding here on this site!
