Hi all, from Vancouver, Canada and looking at changing my life and my lifestyle. Was a fairly healthy guy for many years but things have gotten out of hand and just tired of procrastinating about it. Got a long way to go and this is the first step for me and saying hello to all. Any advice and all suggestions are more than welcome, as I am a newbie here and would gladly accept any help thrown my way. A little lost but will find my way I am sure. Thanks for dropping by in advance! Cheers

    Hi,

    I am just starting too. I didn't want to wait until the holidays are over because I could gain a ton by then. I am switching over from Weight Watchers online. I liked it but found that I couldn't do it with all the stress in my life lately. I have plantar fasciitis and I'm hoping that losing some weight will give me relief.

    Nice to meet you and good luck on your journey!

    Welcome, You have taken the first step, the 2 best pieces of advice i can give is:

    Take one day at a time, one step at a time, you will face trials and hurdles but you can overcome them as long as you remember we all fall, but the important thing is we get back up and try again....

    Be honest log everything you eat, no matter how insignificant it may seem log it....

    Good luck with your Journey, feel free to add me...
