Subject: I'm a newbie too
For the first time in a long time I am actually excited to lose weight. This seems so easy and not time consuming at all. I feel like I can really do this.
As another newbie (2+ weeks) I can tell you, it does work. I was never a calorie counter; hated that. I felt I had a pretty good handle on things. Well, once I started this, I realized where those "mysterious" extra calories were coming from that were clearly keeping me from losing anything. Seeing movement on the scale (finally) was truly pleasing.
