Thank you for adding me to your friends list; so that we can keep up with each other's progress, I've added you to mine too. It is through your SP friends that you'll get support, encouragement, helpful ideas, and even the occasional kick-in-the-butt to get you moving in the right direction.
Browsing around this site looking at inspiring profiles, which was your current status set three days ago, is a good idea; however, you should leave a comment on the members' pages so they know you were visiting.
Though time consuming, try to get on the SP site on a daily basis, picking up daily Spark Points and posting to the nutrition and exercise trackers. If time allows, visit your friends. I've started using the Friend Feed as a method of keeping up with my friends; though I might not have time to visit their pages, I can still keep in touch with how they're doing.
I've found that keeping track of my food intake, exercising, drinking water (8-10 cups daily), and getting eight hours of sleep are all key in this journey to a healthier lifestyle. Though you might concentrate more on one of these, it is important to work on all of them at the same time.
I look forward to getting to know you better as we learn how to improve our lifestyle to make it a healthier one; weight loss is only one of the many rewards that we'll get along the way.
