Hello Everyone! I am brand new to this site and, besides hoping to lose close to 80 lbs, I am hoping to make new friends. I am probably older than most people on the site (in my mid 50s) and retired. I have had great difficulty in the last 10 years losing weight - the yo-yo effect! - due to family stresses and loss of employment. Poor excuses I know but with some support from you I may just succeed

I love the screen name. I am new to the site as well. I am hoping to lose 80lbs. I have a chronic illness so excersize has been on my backburner. It is time for me to take control. I hope as newbies we can motivate each other!!

So, come up with a calorie level that you can live with, made up of "good" foods, that is less than your calculated burn. Track it every day, religiously, and you'll lose weight.
