Hi!

Sure, same advice that i give everyone. Weight loss is math not just science. 3500 calories equal one pound. Eliminate calories either by less volume taken in or by more exercise out and you will be successful. Relax and try to have fun doing this. There are very good answers and questions on here so take advantage of them. If you feel you have knowledge on a topic make sure that you take the time to answer it and if you have questions make sure that you take the time to ask them. Good luck with your journey.

Welcome and congrats for making the first step!! You will find a lot of support and tips throughout the forums. Remember, slow and steady wins the race :glasses: I started 4/16/10 and I've cut soda and high sugars foods and drinks. I drink mainly water (at least 9 8oz water a day, if not more)and I use 5cal flavor packs. Food wise, I increased fruits and veggies by quite a bit, slowly trying new ones I've never had before (like peaches). I also really watch my portions and my sodium intake. I don't do a lot for exercise, I mainly walk. I started walking 4x a week at 15min each, then slowly made it 2x a day, 6 (often 7) days a week for roughly 25-30min each time. Eventually, I came across a plan called Couch to 5k or C25k (coolrunning.com for the plan and search the message boards here for threads about the plan..IT DOES WORK!!). I even started my own challenge to walk 100miles from 6/8-9/8 (which can also be found on here). If you have a Wii, a fun game is Just Dance, it really gets ya moving and laughing :laugh: If you ever have questions, don't be afraid to ask anyone, we're all pretty friendly Good luck on your journey!
