so i stumbled onto this website about 3 days ago. About 2 months ago i went to the doctor and he told me i had high blood pressure. So i quit smoking, i quit drinking, and i quit caffeine. Now i need to lose some weight. I'm 197 and would like to get back to about 165-170. i'm lovin the iphone app so far, and i'm finding it really helps me not cheat because of the need to log everything. anyway hello everyone

Good for you!! You have made some awesome changes! Good luck on your weight loss journey.

I love the app too. I am losing weight to be more comfortable in myself. We booked our first proper holiday and I want to feel good for it. I started off 226lb, got down to 210lbs, then hit a wall. I jumped back on the wagon on 2nd Jan and I have lost 16lbs since then, but 26lbs since my heaviest. I am so motivated this time and it really helps when people look at you and notice you are slimming. I see my mother once every couple of weeks and she comments on the weight I have lost which helps more than people think!

Wait, how did you quit coffee? Did you just go cold turkey? Admirable.

ascrof

I just did it too. I see what you mean (the head aches) but they lasted for 2 days ;D
