Thanks to all for the warm welcome. Have played around with the site for several hours yesterday & since I have been home from work today & am trying to get it all down. Seems a little overwhelming right now but am taking a deep breath & gonna take it a step at a time.

Again thanks for your support.

Hello Lisa!



I also gained over 30lbs after moving here recently (almost 3 years now), from NY.
This is a good site for information and a great way to track your food intake and stay accountable.

Best of luck! Let's get these southern pounds OFF!

My name is Lisa & I currently live in Greenville,NC. Saw this web site in Self magazine that I purchased this morning & so far am impressed with the tools, the help & the people here. I have between 60 & 70 lbs to lose. Gained 30+ lbs when my husband & I moved here just over 4 yrs ago. Wasn't used to having the convience of food so readily available 24/7. Gained another 30+ lbs when I quit smoking April 2010. People ask me if I feel better now than when I smoked & I want to say yes but right now the answer is NO. I felt better & could breathe better before I gained all this weight. My doctor says he is so proud that I haven't smoked in almost 2 yrs but am now overweight. Way overweight. 2012 is my year for major lifesyle changes. I am looking forward to a healthier me.
