    When I am hungry I drink water. Lots of water and the hunger goes away.

    I can't say anything that hasn't already been said or that you now don't already know. But damn it, I'm gonna try! ; )

    We all struggle.
    We all have our demons.
    We will all falter.
    But in the end we will all SUCCEED!!

    And we want you right there with us when we do.


    Anyone can feel free to add me!

    good for you starting this journey to better yourself.

    i know mindless/bored eating very well. i have learned to make sure you are getting lots of protien throughout the day, then when a craving strickes drink a bunch of water and wait it out.
    also if there is a day that you go over your calories - don't stress over it, don't let it discourage you, we all struggle once in a while, just get back on track the next day. -- it does get easier, and once you start seeing the results either on the scale or your clothes start fitting better you will get more and more motivation to continue

    you can add me as a friend if you want.

    Welcome! You are off to a great start.

    My advice is that you read everything here and find what works best for you. (eg, 2 large meals a day or 6 small ones. Run in the morning or lift weights in the evening, cheat meals or not, Breakfast or no breakfast .....etc)

    Do what works for you! It took my a while to find what works for me ( weekly calorie goal instead of a daily goal

    Feel free to add me.

  • Hi, I'm new too and come from an overweight family. I've seen my dad struggle with his weight my entire life, he's now almost 60 and struggles with diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems. He's never managed to lose weight.
    I've put on weight in the past 4 years or so and I'm getting married in August so I want to lose 33lbs.
    I'll send you a request :)
    We can motivate each other :)
