Hello! I am determined

tflanagan · August 2010

Hey everyone, I am bound and determined to get my act together. NO more excuses. I lost 30lbs 2 years ago and I have put 20 pack on. All of those nice skinny clothes are sitting lonely in my closet waiting to be worn.

Afternoons are my worst time. It is so hard for me. I have been so deserate for a Weight Loss buddy but none of my friends want to COMMIT. I need someone on the good days and bad days, anyone up for it?

I can't wait to get to know all of you as we go through this journey together.

Welcome and good luck - it's hard for ALL of us - that's why we're here - this is a great site though - keeping track of your food and exercise is key - I break my exercise up into morning/afternoon/evening to keep memore focused. I have also found that a handful of plain roasted almonds before dinner (about an hour before) kills my appetite - they are heart-healthy - just keep it to a 1/4c serving, no more, and only 1x a day. Hard about this on Dr Oz and it works for me.
