    Its not so bad once you get new habits and stick to it. My advice is to set small goals to achieve the bigger one faster. You can do it!!!

    How did it happen?? The same way as the rest of us, one pound at a time..... or 3 or 4. In my case, it was really having no idea how many calories I was consuming on a daily basis. When i started logging in my food, I was shocked.

    So I started following the guidelines in here, the blog, reading everything I could, getting involved in the posts. Coming here and reading people's profiles and success when I felt I was craving food.

    I've been here for 5 weeks now, and have lost 13 pounds. Doesnt' seem like much because I have so much more to lose, but for me it is a small miracle.
