in Introduce Yourself
Today is Day 1 for me. I have never actually went on a diet before. I am hoping that joining here and having people to talk to helps. I am a 30 year old mom to 4. I have 3 boys and 1 stepdaughter. They range in age from12 to 2 so they keep me pretty busy.

    Congrats, you're here in the first place which is Step 1!

    I personally wouldn't think of it as a "diet", that sounds controlling, boring and blerghh. Think of it as a new healthy lifestyle.

    I cannot stand diets as they seem to focus on one main food group which is bland. As long as you stay motivated and positive you'll be absolutely fine.

    My Mum is always going on about how tired she is after a day of looking after me and my siblings so count that as Work out number 1 done ;)

    Welcome and here's to a good start for you and the rest of your life. I agree with most, that the word "diet" is so out dated. I too, love "life style change" or is it "change in life style"? Oh well, you get the picture. Looking forward to seeing you share your progress.:smile:

    Definately agree, don't think of it as a diet! I used to be addicted to a few foods (McDonalds fries, Reese's, Cheetos, the list can go on), but now I have found healthier alternatives and don't even crave them anymore. I actually now have a craving for mustard and zuchini fries (weird, but delish!)

    Been here since April. NOT a diet, it is most definitely a lifestyle. A healthier lifestyle = a healthier you. You can do it!

    I started a month ago. The toughest part was making the decision to make a lifestyle change. After you start to see progress, you will be even more motivated to reach your goals. Feel free to add me!
