    Well, first of all WELCOME!! The best advice that I can give, is don't lie! If you eat bad or don't exercise record it. Lying to yourself isn't helpding you move forward. Record everything! Whether it's bad or good or in between! :smile: I wish you luck in your journey!

    Welcome! I just wanted to say howdy and let you know that those pounds will come off again...lose slowly and learn to eat healthy along the way. This isn't a diet; it is a way of life. Best of luck to you on your healthy journey...your kids are going to thank you! Hugs, SisterC

    My name is Stacey and I am new to this site as well. I love the idea that this site is so user friendly and supportive, however, I still feel a sense of hesitation in speaking so openly about my weight issues.I have recently lost 12 lbs and I have about 30 lbs to go . I would welcome any advice/suggestions anyone might have! Thanks in advance! :)

    Welcome!
    I am on Day three - and all I can say is be entirely honest with all of the food you consume and the exercise you do.
    You need to make improvements, and you only do this by learning your bad habits, or your habits and food consumption etc that is taking you in the wrong direction.

    I love posting on here, updating my food, and comparing which foods are higher in calories etc before I have a snack. So far both days (excl today as its not quite over) have come in under my Calorie Intake, which is great! Its motivation in itself.

    I even turned away chocolate today!! WHICH happens never!! Cause I didnt know how many calories it might have in it! :)
