Hi all, My name is Jessica. I'm 31 years old and starting at 223 pounds. I started counting calories and losing weight 3 years ago and in 3 months or so lost about 20 pounds. But my father was ill and passed away and I gained it back and a little more. I'm finally ready to get serious about this again. I was doing well 3 years ago, so I know I can do it, but it is hard to get back into the swing of things. I used the calorie counter today, but didn't exercise. I'm finding it difficult to make time for it with work and school full time. I need to develop a schedule for school work and exercise. Perhaps that will help. How did everyone else get started?

    Hello - Welcome to the group..... Good luck in your goals, diet is the key...exercise...just required for health. Start by planning out your meals for the week, leave nothing to impulse until you get your arms around what is working for you.

    Cut out processed anything....any...thing!

    Workout in the early morning if you can, that way you wont be able to pull the old "im too busy after work" excuse. That's what i've been doing for a few years anyway - Helps kick start the day as well!
