Heres a really nice site to let you in on some info on healthy foods / recipes for free http://www.foodnetwork.com/healthy-eating/index.html

I agree with others. The motivation and support of this group is wonderful. Just what I need to help make this attempt of losing weight work! I stopped smoking in 2008 and had my daughter in 2009 and I never thought I would be able to do either of those things. I need to apply the same self motivation and courage I used to get me through those examples.

I keep telling myself that Nothing Tastes as Good as Being Slim!

I'm in Texas too, although I moved here from CT. so I'm a little more used to the cold weather than you are. I sometimes force myself to keep drinking water, but even if you're drinking tea, the water content counts! Try a glass of water with each meal, that should help increase your water intake.

I'm there with you. It's a good place to start.

Me me me please...

Transport yourself to the islands with this Jamaican-inspired soup, full of fresh shrimp and sweet mangoes. We loved this soup with regular store-bought curry powder, but if you happen to have Jamaican-style curry powder, which has a hint of allspice, this is a great place to use it. Serve with brown basmati or jasmine rice with sliced pineapple for dessert.

Hi cynthia, I'd like to join please too. My starting weight is 323 and would love to get down to 250 but even if I make it to 280 I would be over the moon. I need to do this for health reasons obviously but also for my own self esteem.

Awesome job!!! I can't wait until I can say that.
