Hi... my name is Shelia but I'm listed on most sights as Mama Lew so I'll answer to either. I have a LOT of weight to lose and am so excited about this sight... I've done food logs before but having all the foods broken down by calories, carbs, proteins, etc. will be so much more helpful. Would love to meet some new friends who are also trying to lose weight so maybe we can cheer each other on.

welcome aboard Sheila. Good luck on your journey.

I am a newbie too especially to counting calories, proteins and carbs. I started today and would love to cheer u on as i would appreciate the same.
Hope u r having a great day, Mama Lew .

Thanks Mike! Just looked at your progress pics... one word... WOW!

Hi pensteff... let's make this happen. I've got sooo much to lose but by losing the weight I'll be gaining physical and emotion freedom so I'm gonna work hard. Do you have very much to lose?

I don't know exactly how much you mean by "a lot" Mama Lew, but please feel free to join us on the 100 pound thread. You'll find "a lot" of support there no matter how much you have to lose, you too pensteff

Thanks Sheila, I appreciate it. What I've accomplished is a drop in the bucket compare to some here. Hell, almeeker is knocking at the 100 pound mark. w00t!

WELCOME!

I'm new here too, and found that it is a very supportive place. No bashing or critical folks. Nice change from the last forum I was on.

Thanks Almeeker... I'll look for the 100 pound thread as I actually need to lose more than a 100...lol.

Welcome, too all the 'newbies'.

almeeker;
Great to see you break through your plateau.

For you newcomers you will find almeeker and 01gt4.6 are some of the most inspirational, informed and supportive members here.
