New from STL

Hi Everyone! This is my first time ever trying a diet plan and I'm excited. After having my daughter almost 2 years ago, I gained about 15 - 20lbs and the gain is continuing. I'm 5ft at 166 lbs, which is not good, and I really want to get a handle on this before it gets worse. I was inspired by a co worker who's using this site and she has lost 15lbs and counting and she looks great. She still eats the same foods but in smaller portions and it's really working well for her. I hope I can pull some motivation from her and hopefully others on this site to keep the momentum going.

Please post any helpful tips or advice to help me along the way.

Happy weight Loss!! :happy:
