New girl!

Hi everyone...this is my first time at anything like this! I came across this site while looking at the Virtual Weight Loss site, the one where u send in a photo then they virtually air brush you skinny! Any way I thought this site was way more realistic and I could use some positive encouragement and ideas! The 50lb by the 4th of July challenge starts tomorrow and it really sounds crazy that I might be able to lose 50 lbs BUT I really want to be challenged and inspired to get up and really move.

Welcome, and Good Luck with your challenge! This site really is a great tool. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi, I'm new here too! I love this site so far! Hoping the food tracking is jst what I need to help me lose these last stubborn lbs!
Good Luck!

Thanks! I'm excited to start and get some great ideas! Congrat on your weight loss so far, its so good to be with others who may have struggled but have not given up hope on being healthy!!!

I'm new here as well, I love this site... Snowwhite, I also joined The 50lb by July 4th Challenge. See you there, and good luck.

Hi welcome to FS! Yeah In order to lose 50lbs by July 4th, you'd need to lose more than 6lbs per week. It's an impossible challenge but it's still great motivation; I'm in it as well so maybe we can help motivate eachother

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the posts. Didn't do so hot with the Easter Holiday but its not going to stop me from making tomorrow a much better day! Look forward to talking to you all again!
