    Welcome:) Hardest thing is to remember you didnt gain it overnight. Not going away overnight.
    First - eliminate from your home anything processed. Try to stick to the outside of the grocery store - foods that are closest to their natural state. Veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds (last two in moderation), chicken, fish, lean meats...

    Also, I use a cookbook (Practical Paleo and a site called Foodonthetable.com) to plan my recipes for the week. I plan four meals. I put four square buckets in the fridge. Each bucket has the ingredients for an evenings meal. Eliminates thinking and searching - it is all right there to cook. I always have bananas on hand for the morning. I also always have hard boiled eggs on hand for a quick hit of filling protein.

    If you are on facebook - go to "women of crossfit = strong" and "fit chicks" - those two pages will link you to many other positive pages where so many people have the same goals. There is a lot of encouragement and cheering each other on.

    Also, if you can get to a Crossfit gym. Do it. The worksouts are great and scaled for individuals... but the COMMUNITY of people there will stick by you and push you along as no matter how slim or not slim - there is a common goal of being healthy and happy.

    Ignore the scale. Go by how your body feels after a good sweat. You will notice as you remove processed foods from your diet that you feel better and slimmer - simply for the bloat and inflammation that will leave once the processed crap and sugar is limited.

    Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Go get it.

    Kill it.

    HAHA....you are so motivating PP.....

    but actually OP he's right....just smash it....

    and never give up....even if you fall off the wagon, you're still winning as long as you get back on.

    wooo hooo 22 and have about 80+ to lose :)

    my 2 cents, make small goals!!! it gets overwhelming thinking about 100lbs. my goal is to lose 20 first :) It's not where I want to be weight wise, but it makes it seem easier for me to reach that end goal.
