Only one week in!

Hello everyone,
I think this site is great! I can't believe how everyone helps eachother out, I've never seen anything like it before. I only joined a week ago but lost 2lbs in my first week which made me very happy. I've historically been a yo-yo dieter! but I'm hoping to change that now using this website. Could do with all the help I can get to keep me focused and stay on track. I had a bad day today, for absolutely no reason and ate 880 calories in biscuits! I could kick my self.
I went back to the gym after a six year break (same old story, had kids and it all went to pieces!) but no more excuses! I will get the weight off and keep it off and in the process change my eating habits forever!
Anyone out there who thinks they could help me out would be great. I'm 47 years old with two small children (aged 6 and 4 - we started late in life!) I'm a stay at home mum!
Thanks for reading.

welcome and congrats on the 2lb weight loss. I am also 47 a sahm and have 7 kids but only 3 still at home . They are 10,12 and 13. So it seems we have quite a bit in common. I love this site and it has really helped me to stay focused and think about what I am putting in my mouth. Just stick with it. Track your food and exercise daily and come on here when you need encouragement. Feel free to add me. You can do it0

I find myself wanting to hear about how you guys are making life changing decisions and praying it will help me stay strong to continue. I have tried so many other things before and failed because like most things in life, I start off good and slip back into bad habits. This is hard. Yes, I am making the first steps but it's hard.0

Today is my first day on this site but I have been in my new lifestyle since December 12th. In that time I have lost 48.6 lbs and 5 dress sizes. It's been a daily battle - I call it my second full time job.
The thing you need to realize about those days where you eat a few biscuits - it's just one day. Don't let one day turn into one week, one month, etc. If you figure that you have 9 great days and 1 not so great day - that's still 90% or an A. So give yourself credit for all the good days and don't worry so much about that not-so-good day.
You can do it!0 -
Thanks for that! your words (and other people's) have put my 'bad' day into perspective! I just need to move on from it and keep going!
You are doing a fantastic job, well done! You're an inspiration to me!

Each day is getting better but I find that I still want to have my soft drink....(I want a coke so badly:sad: ) I over did it today with drinking water...lol. I feel very full....but I know I didn't put this weight on over night and it's not coming off over night. I hope everyone has had a good day sticking to your goals.0
