hello everyone my name is Rachelle. i have been overweight since highschool (10 years ago was graduation) and i'm finally realizing i'm not happy like this. i started counting calories around the first of the year and realized i was eating WAY too much. I cut back to 1200 - 1500 cals a day, depending on work schedule (retail, on my feet 8 hours running around a department store). so far so good. i have lost 3 pounds and around 1 1/2 pant sizes.. and i squeezed into a size 16 dress at work, that is my goal at the moment, to actually be able to wear the clothes we sell. I look forward to getting to know everyone and supporting you all in your weight loss.

Thanks for Reading,
Raelynn
 
Welcome Raelynn:
Congrats on your first 3 pounds...its a great start! I'm also a newbie-just joined a couple of nights ago. I think you'll love this site. There's a ton of info and great support.
 
Congratulations

Hi! It's great here. I get up and read some posts here every day, and it has been the best encouragement I've ever had. I also post my daily food on sparkpeople.com to see how many calories & other nutrients I eat. It does the calculations for you.
So, have a great day!
Cheryl
 
Best of luck to you and congrats for taking the initiative to make a lifestyle change. It is a big step, and the right one IMO.
 
Hey girlie:) Glad you're here. Let's kick each other in the arse and stay motivated. Now that you and Amy are here this board better watch out;)
Congrats on the loss so far, and I know you're going to do just great. Now move your booty back up here so we can walk together:D:D:D Love ya
 
Hi and welcome to the WLF :)
Getting started is often the hardest step - knowing you need to do something to change is the beginning of realizing you CAN do something to change.

And you CAN :)
