Hi, I am new to fatsecret and it really seems very interesting and helpful so far. I am in the same boat as most of you. 211 lbs, 37 yrs old, and very inactive. I have recently lost 17 lbs over a 7 week period by lowering my calorie intake. But I am now at a stand still. I have several parties coming up this spring and also 3 weddings to go to in 2012, one of which I am a bridesmaid! I get very depressed at times with my weight, and it only makes me eat more. I am hoping this site will help me get on track. I have had a weight problem since high school. I have never felt good about my appearance and to be honest I am sick of it. Glad I am a part of this now:)
