      GW: 125 My highest weight was 164! Around the middle of March I started the South Beach diet, this taught me a new way of eating. In the first 2 weeks I was down 9-10 pds. By the end of March and Into the 1st week of April I was fluctuating and terrified that I would gain back the 10 pounds I had worked so hard to lose. Scouring the internet I joined Myfitness. I think it's very important to track my caloric intake especially tracking carbs and sugar. I drink lots of water and find time to exercise in my home. Since joining April 9th I have lost another 7 pounds.

      The stories that people share also help to keep me inspired and motivated. I keep a pair of jeans that I refer to as my skinny jeans, I've been wanting to get back into them for the past 3 years. Today I put them on and even had room n the waist.

      Just for fun: What fitness event are you going to accomplish this month?
      I will continue using the South Beach diet food list, I use an elliptical bike, and weight bench. Every morning when I get up I drink a cold glass of water, exercise for about 10 min. I also am currently doing 'intermittent fasting' I take fish oil and a multivitamin daily.

      5/4
      5/12

      I would like to lose more than 5lbs, I hope to lose close to 10, but if I lose at least 5lbs I'll be happy.

      This month, I am doing the MS Walk. Four mile walk, in fact. Never thought I'd even WANT to walk that much, very excited!

      Count me in :) I'm new to joining groups is there anything I need to do or do I need to be added to a group?

      Each group has different guidelines and will tell you. This one is EASY. All you do is say you want in, and that's it! Just come back and put in your weight each week on your weigh in day. Have fun!
