in Introduce Yourself
I decided to start this... of all days....A week and a day... b4 Thanksgiving, not to mention the Holidays..... But today is as good a day as any---- besides I need to be held accountable to myself.... my eating is out of control!
I want to lose 20lbs. Before my 45th Birthday. That's my goal. And I have till April 16th to do this.
I feel its an achievable goal in enough time >>> FINGERS CROSSED!

    That is the first step... Recognizing that the problem is there and the PROPER solution is to begin to control Calories In.

    Good luck. :)

    Its a PERFECT day! Why NOT now??? great way to keep control with the holidays. Those waiting for January will often have another 5-10 pounds to deal with by then.

    WELCOME :)

    It'll be challenging, but the first step is controlling what you put IN! Still struggling with that myself :frown: but we're all in it together!

    I just started yesterday. This will help me a lot. I have been exercising since February but those late night snacks and eating out have taken their toll. I hope to lose 50 lbs in the next year.: smile:

    You can do it! Even if you maintain during the holidays you are ahead of the game! Good Luck, I started last week and it really has opened my eyes to the empty calories I eat. :-)

    I am also thinking about summer and how I want to feel comfortable with myself. I hope to lose as much as possible for me by then. I started today and I'm not even trying to stress the holidays, but then again who dose not want pumpkin pie for thanksgiving day and then there is Christmas dinner as well :/ But I AM going to keep my head up and try my best. Gook luck to everyone!!!
