Hi there!

I'm in the zone, something clicked and I've decided to do something about my health. So I've been taking one day at a time ( from Jan 1st 2014) and I'm doing great.

So far I've said goodbye to 8lbs and another 62lbs to go. I've cut out sugar, alcohol, I'm eating reduced amounts of carbs, eating plenty of veg & fruit and making all meals from scratch.

There'll be off days I'm sure and days when I'm flying high with motivation, I just need to remember to keep going no matter what.

I've had too many times in the past where it was going well and then I tripped, stumbled and thought...too late can't do it! No excuses now it needs to be done.

I know I will find the encouragement here with MFP and all you wonderful people aiming for the same winning post....so I'm here to join the race and succeed.

:-)

    Hi congratulations and may you keep succeeding. I too have radically changed my diet but cutting out all the bad stuff. If you are welcome to add me as a friend if you are looking for motivation and someone willing to work for it. :)

    Thanks a mil, you sound like you have a plan and are working hard. Running is something I know would be good for me once I've got to a point where I wouldn't collapse in a heap and of course my poor knees wouldn't give up. It's on my to do list for sure.

    Look forward to keeping on track with you.:smile:

    You are so right 2014 is the year for us, let's keep the motivation on a roll ( preferably not a bread roll...sorry bad joke!). I think when we have bad days we need to have friends out there who are able to help us get back on the straight and narrow.

    Have a great day too, keep focused and stay happy. :smile:
