Hello,
I'm twenty-four pounds down with many pounds left to go on my new health journey and I look forward to learning so much more about, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats and all that jazz. I'm exploring new foods, new recipes and storing them on OneNote for future use. Who knew this journey would be so much fun with the right attitude which I have suddenly found.
Here's my favourite recipe. Brussels Sprouts Salad with Crunch Chickpeas, I know who would have thought that six months ago. See the link to it below. Also, who knew that in a medium zucchini there is only 50 calories (wow, talk about a bang for your buck). Enjoying the art of walking, watching and listening. Well, enough about me. Look forward to learning so much from the Community.

    @lmkid welcome to the boards!

    I absolutely love your attitude! You are me, a few years ago. I tried to treat it and an adventure and an opportunity to learn. SO much more fun than treating it like a weight loss slog, or even a punishment, as so many do.

    And I look back and marvel at the “me” who was so invested in sweets cakes our and cookies and couldn’t even imagine a life without them. Having just been through a bout of all of the above while we had international guests who wanted to try things, it was an utter relief to come back to “new me”’s way of eating.

    Spend time reading and learning from these boards. I sincerely hope you’ll chime in and share your experiences, good or bad, success or fail, to help others. These boards are what has kept me on track to lose from obese to normal, and stay in maintenance.

    Hugs!!!
