    Best of luck to you. My advice...stick with it and find a buddy to do this with you. That way you can encourage each other and comment on each other's status updates.

    Hi All,

    This is my Day 1 of tracking - I hope by keeping track of what I eat - will keep me accountable for what I do eat. I want to make better choices, so this is one of my steps to taking control back over my weight. :happy:

    We must be accountable. I've lost 55 lbs in 2 years. I gained 10 lbs since January from depression. I'm on medicine now I hope I can reach my goal.

    So many new folks! A few notes from a 90+ day person:
    - Eat about 5 times per day (including breakfast), staying within your calorie goal. This keeps the metabolism busy and you end up burning more calories.
    - Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains and healthy oils (try to limit salt and saturated fats.)
    - It is good to make exercise fun--chase the grandson around the house or yard (I speed-walk, he runs) in a game of tag. Be a Jedi knight with him and chase each other (or the bad guys). Kids are great exercise coaches!
    - Drink lots of fluids, including water.
    We are all rooting for each of you. We have been there and are still going thru the process--a life-long continual improvement of health, wisdom, patience, and empathy for each of us.
    Have fun! :drinker: :happy:
