Too late to turn back
Well - here I am. Day (3) of my journey. This is going to work. It WILL work.

To my surprise my weight was the same. I was so happy when I saw the numbers on the scale!!! I guess eating clean is finally becoming a habit. I still…

English dad wants encouragement!
Hi. Started here after finding a set of digital scales in ikea and then weighed myself for the first time in years. Don't know how accurate they are but they are at least consistent. At my height of 5'9 the figure of 181 lb they started on comes into the 'overweight' group on the charts and I didn't like that. Hence me…

WHATS BEHIND THE WEIGHT!?!
OFTEN WE SAY WE ARE FAT OR OVERWEIGHT BECAUSE WE EAT TOO MUCH. WELL MAYBE THATS TRUE, BUT WHY ARE WE REALLY EATING? WE WORK HARD TO WATCH WHAT WE ARE EATING, WE KILL OURSELVES IN THE GYM, OR DOING EXTREME EXCERCISE ROUTINES TO GET A NEW SELF! WE GET A NEW HAIR CUT AND BUY NEW CLOTHES, DEVELOPE A NEW WALK ETC. WE DO SO MUCH…

Hi Everyone!
I never listened when my relatives told me that someday I won't be able to eat what I want! I never saw my family as overweight. We just enjoyed company and family gatherings with buffet style eating and desserts galore. But now I realize that a lot of the diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and gout problems…

new and hopefully not alone...
Hey everyone, I'm new to the site but not to weight loss.
