    I Steph, how funny, but my name is Steph as well & I am looking to lose about 30 lbs. too! What a coincidence! I dunno about you, but after tracking my calories, I cannot believe how calorie dense my choices have been, I thought they were pretty healthy!

    I think it will take about 3 months or more to lose this weight I think. Did you just start this goal?

    Hi! I'm Stephanie too, but didn't use it as my screen name. I need to lose close to 100 lbs. I din't realize the amount of sugar I have consumed. That's going to be my big weakness. Good luck to you all!

    I agree with the calorie dense choices. I crave sugar and in my effort to cut back, I eliminated
    most simple sugars and just replaced them with fruit. But, I was eat SO much and never realized how many calories I was consuming. Hopefully keeping a daily food journal will help.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Hi there, I see there are lots of Stephanies... My Name is Mariana. I live in Venezuela, and I'm trying to lose 10 lbs. I know it's not much, but I'm 4.2 high and it's very difficult for me to lose weight.

    My cholesterol levels are high so I've had to cut off stir-fried or breaded foods, all kinds of cheese, chocolate, sweets, etc. Honestly, I haven't been able to stop eating sweets. Here in Venezuela is impossible not to do it, we are known for our delicious baked goods, chocolate and any other type of dessert; they're unbelievably AMAZING! I am trying to get back on track (because I stopped dieting and gained the 10 pounds I'm trying to lose now) just by consuming fewer calories, and walking 30 min, a day.

    I would love to hear from you soon! Good luck to y'all!

    Mariana
