    Hi, I am new to this portal.
    Started watching my weight just this week,. I am 28 and currently 139 lb, I was 118lb two years back when got married and am looking fwd to get back to that by end April. Let's see how does this go as i certainly cannot control diet, i want to eat everything normal as i will do on any normal day, so for me key is more exercise. Let's see how far can i achieve it.

    Actually controlling diet in small ways is a very important factor (portion size) and High Fructose Corn Syrup avoidance is a great place to start...... find exercise you enjoy that is fun and make it an integrated part of your life. Good Luck! If you happen to drink pop of any kind, reducing that and replacing with water can make a huge difference. I have a friend that lost 20 lbs simply by switching to drinking water instead of pop and walking for her exercise. I had to use a slightly different approach, since I never drank pop anyway. I do eat regular foods though, and NEVER Nonfat, Splenda, or any of that stuff. I prefer whole foods to processed ones.
    Take care and enjoy a healthy life!

    Thanks :smile:

    Ya i don't drink pop much,but while at work so eat coffee, sometimes with milk and suagr when i start feeling tired and exhausted which now i am trying to avoid, only having black tea or back coffee when i need some thing to drink.

    I want to eat normal, but i will keep watch on what i eat on portion size, i think restraining self from eating something can backfire so i will try to have small portion when get craving for something. I am not a chocolate or ice-cream fan, so that's good.

    Hope i will be able to stick to healthier routine and achieve my goal this time :)
