I have only been on this site for 24 hours and I am already hooked. I plan on losing at least 41 lbs. I have just come out of a grueling work and school schedule as well as some of life's ups and downs, so I am hoping that getting back to a healthier lifestyle will be like riding a bike and come naturally. I could definitely use a support system though. If anyone is interested in buddy-ing up with me I would be more than happy to help too!

    I have four words for you: You Can Do It!
    I think a good key word is consistency; be consistent with your goal and lifestyle habits and/or changes, but remember to change things up a bit so you don't get bored. Support systems are key and this website is a pretty good one.
    Yes I sometimes need help with the whole consistency thing, but I do know it works. And keeping track of food and exercise definitely helps; especially the food! Ok those are my words of supposed wisdom. Enjoy your journey :)

    Thanks for the advice and encouragement SkodaGal! I will definitely be struggling with my follow through so your words of wisdom are super helpful. It's just so EASY to say "maybe later...", and I don't want to fall further into that pit as I have finally decided to climb out of it.

    I love this site it has helped so much! I find if I log my food for the day breakfast, snack , lunch, snack I have enough calories left over for dinner. It makes it easy. If I see that I'm going to cut into the dinner calories I start to make some better choices for the four meals.

    The food diary has been a huge help for me too. It is making me think about what I'm putting in my mouth (and around my midsection) and asking myself if it's the choice I really want to make. My schedule makes it kinda tough to get in the four meals a day, so that is another mini goal for me to work towards as well.
