    Hey guys! I just joined the site today. I have tried MFP in the past, but without much support or really getting into the community, it just wasn't working out. Here's to round 2! :) Feel free to add me, and if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it!

    I was up to 217 about 5 months ago....im now around 170. Howd I do it? Moderation, moderation, moderation......and some excersize. When Id get home from work, id literally eat til i went to bed.....Im suprised I was only 217 at my heaviest. I got sick of being slow, out of breath, and out of shape for a 33 year old...so I decided I was gonna do something about it. Best thing to do to lose weight is TRY not to eat so much(at a time) and when you do eat, try to eat healthy. No pizza, no fast food, no sodas, etc(trust me, its hard but sooooo worth it when you see what it can do to your body)......next and probably most importantly, try to find stuff to do to increase your health. For example: watching tv? during commercials, do jumping jacks or run in place. I did that for 2 months and lost 20 lbs. Run at least a mile every other day. Find heatlhy foods that take away the cravings of bad foods that somewhat taste like the good ones. My example(and I have a bunch): Those Quaker Stila bars taste just like pop tarts. If I get a sweet tooth, most times i'll eat some fruit. Another thing, and its a pretty big deal....DONT STARVE YOURSELF! Eat but dont go crazy. Snack a few times a day on low cal and low fat foods. It all sounds hard but once you get in that mode and you see results in the mirror, it becomes addicting to improve your health and body. Having a hard time with the taste of certain foods? I did as well, but you end up getting a taste for things and youll forget what some of that other crap tasted like. I drink fat free milk now as opposed to whole milk and I wouldve probably puked that stuff up before I got on this health kick. Anyway, there are a million ways to lose weight, but most consist of excersize and eating right, but if you stick with a diet plan and stay motivated, youll do fine and be where you wanna be weight-wise in no time.

    Hi Vicky,

    Ditto on your sentiments. I'm a bit slow w/ things so I still need to figure out how to "friend". It's really quite pathetic actually! But once I get it down, I'd be happy to share tips, advice and encouragement. Good Luck!

    Hi, Vicky,
    I'll be happy to give what support I can. Wales! That's cool. I just had a friend here in the States visiting from Australia, and she's in England now. I feel so international.
    I need to lose about 40 or more, too. I've lost it before, but it is extremely difficult to keep it off. Maybe if we keep in touch we will be able to do it this time!
    I have been bingeing on sweets because of a terrible loss in our family--our son. So breaking free of bingeing is going to be a major effort but I'm reaching out to as many as I can on here in an effort to make it work.
    Tell me about yourself. Is exercise a good thing for you? What do you generally like to do for a workout? What's your biggest temptation/downfall?
