New to the site....

I am new to this site as well, since last week. I would like to encourage you on this journey and sincerely hope you are not trying to do this alone. You will need a support group and while an online community is good I would recommend something where you actually meet with others who are trying to lose weight. I am in a First Place for Health program that focuses on putting God first in ALL things, including our eating habits. We meet weekly for Bible Study, discussion, encouragement and support. Most of these groups are started in a church setting. If you cannot find one close to you then I recommend Weight Watchers. There may also be another group that is local that you may know of.

When you feel like you're going to give into temptation please remember to say a prayer. And don't beat yourself up. No one is going do all things right all the time. And be sure to start an exercise program even if its only a short walk each day.

I hope I haven't "overloaded" you but I know you will feel so much better in every way and when you begin to see the weight come off you can't imagine how good it feels.

In Christ.
