    Hey A !! I am starting my diet tomorrow as well. I was a vegetarian for almost 3 years and gained more weight than when I wasn't. I think I over carbed myself trying to get full. Anyways I need to lose 70 ilbs. ( I am almost the size of a baby hippo almost, I've done the research ) I have no kids so I don't have that excuse, ( I wish I did) but I think with this program we will have success. -Roxanne

    Hi I'm Gayle aka Daylily53. I am starting over today. Encouragement needed to exercise. I heard a quote on FB tonight that did me in. Would you rather have the pain of exercise for 1 hr or pain of being fat for 24 hrs!!! ugh ouch!! I have A-fib and scarred lungs from blood clots after a mitral valve repair and pneumonia in '11. I am on oxygen and have a sedentary lifestyle. My Dr. has really fussed/encouraged me to get moving!!! If I could lose 30-45 lbs I would probably not be as short of breath. prayers and encouragement appreciated. I will do the same for you guys on this journey:)

    Congratulations on taking the first step.

    My only comment is that you should try to avoid thinking of this as a diet. If you do it right, it's a lifestyle change and by the time you reach your goal, you will have developed sustainable habits that will keep you from getting to the point where you need to "diet". I have a cohort who is "juicing" to lose weight. While that may be an effective way to lose weight, it's the perfect way to start packing on pounds once he quits. He has no clue how to judge the calories that he puts away with regular foods.

    So, best of luck and don't let the bad weeks get you down. Everyone has them and if you do it right, you'll see that in the long run, this site works well for the vast majority of people.
