Hi I'm new

Hi ya'll! I'm Vikki and I'm 22. I live in IN and I've been checking out this site for awhile..a long while. I'm currently at 224 and at my heaviest I weighed might as well say 240. I consider myself a "bubbly" and optimistic type of person. My goal is to get back to around 155-160 and well I think this is a good place to start. Seems to be a lot of great people here and I love the way everyone encourages everyone else. So here's to some new beginnings.

Hi Vikki, Welcome to Calorie-Count.

Welcome to Calorie-Count.com, Vikki :)

Do you have any questions to help you get started?

Welcome Vikki! Im new here too, but I can tell after just a few days that this is a great place, with great ppl and great advice. Good luck!

Hi Vikki! I'm another newbie. I just wanted to say I love your description of yourself- it caught my attention because I consider myself the same. I'm a very happy person who thinks the best & tries to look towards the brighter side of things. If you don't mind me asking- whereabouts in IN do you live? Just curious b/c I'm a Michigander myself & live maby 5 minutes from IN.

Hello! I'm new too, and I find this place so so helpful to stay on track. It helps because when you are out or at home, you know that you will update this site every day or every other day, and you don't want to see the weight go up!

Im 20 and currently at 117, 5"5 and looking to maintain weight after 2 years of EDNOS

Welcome.

im a newbie too with the same stats!!! (almost)  Im 221 trying for 160.. and im 19 :-)

welcome fellow hoosier. This is a great place to get encouragement.  This is the longest I have stayed on a "diet" of any kind and it is due to the postings of all the great people on here.

hola

welcome!!  sounds like we are very similar in our weight max and goals...I started around 240 and I'm at 215 today with help from this site and some really great friends whom I work with....any my family...

It takes an army of support somedays.  Enjoy and use this site..it really is helpful and motivating...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Sorry it took so long to reply. faeanne I'm in Fort Wayne and might I add enjoying this great weather. I'm glad I'm not the only new newbie.

HI

I also am fairly new to this site. I am a recently diagnosed diabetic,and I need to lose a lot of pounds. I currently weigh 240 and I have to do this now! I live in Canada so I have to wait about a month or more to see a dietician,things are very slow here!Any words of wisdom from anyone? Thanks
