I am new! Live in SW Michigan and trying to lose 45 pounds. Tired of the "you are overweight" comments and concerned because I have high cholesterol and the statins make me sick. Goals are to increase the amt of veggies I eat, drink water and stick to my assigned calories.

    Welcome! This is such a wonderful site! I have been using it for a month now and am down 9lbs. I am looking to lose 100lbs or more. Keep that final goal in mind, and focus on the results and that can take you so far!

    My suggestion to you would be to switch things out of your diet gradually, instead of going cold turkey right off the bat. That is what helped me the most, and it didn't make me feel like I was depriving myself of good food. Add some friends on here so you have some accountability too :c)

    If you want, add me and we can support each other!
