Im new to this site love it so far. Im looking for support fom some myfitnesspal freinds. I have lost no weight after 2 weeks of excercise and one week of dieting and excercise, but Im keeping positive. I suppose I should not weigh myself everyday either. I have 50 lbs to loose and I dont know where to start. The gym is not an option and I have convinced myelf healthy food is too expensive.

We've been REALLY chatty the last couple of days but it's worth a read and you'll get more support and info than you can handle :flowerforyou:

I used to say that too about healthy food being more expensive but just look at all the junk food... a big bag of chips costs at least $3, an orange cost about $1... so you could get 3 for 1 bag of yucky chips... (which I secretly am craving!) Also you can find lots of workouts online and in magazines - most of them don't require lots of weights or props to do them either. Good Luck Nellie!

I`m having brisk walkings everyday for a minimum of 1 hour.
I`m tracking all I eat and drink.
I weight myself EVERY DAY. I don`t want take any chance to fail.
I have 78 lbs in total to lose and 5 lbs has gone in 4 days.
I made a tasty and healthy soup with cheap vegetables, that has lots of fibers (keep u full longer), seasoning(curry,cilantro, pepper, thyme, etc) on it and that has been my lunch and dinner.
I drink for breakfast 1 slimfast shake and I have raisins or carrots for snacks.
Ah, I`m taking a multivitamins and green tea capsules everyday and lots of water.
Don`t give up!!!!!

OK The Scale is not my enemy, and at least Im not gaining. I would love to lose 40 lbs before the end of summer. Could you pass on some of those soup recipes?
