    Hi Karen,

    It does seem daunting when you've got a lot to lose, but take one day at a time & you'll get there!

    I've found this site very helpful & like to complete my food diary in advance - then I know what I'll be eating during the day & don't run out of calories by dinner time!

    I've lost 37lbs since joining in April & that is about halfway for me, so still a bit of hard work to go!

    I'm on here every day & am happy to offer you support & encouragement, if you want to add me as a friend.

    Good luck!

    Helen

    You can add me too. I find the more positive friend you surround yourself with, its easier to stay on track. I log in everyday because I know I am among friends.
