    Hi Jana and welcome.

    Try not to stress yourself out about losing weight and dont give up just because you have had a bad day! I have just learnt that even with one FREE day a week you can still lose weight!

    Drink plenty of water and eat lots of fruit and veg with meals.

    Most of the time you are telling yourself you are hungry when really your not! Its physcological

    Good Luck!

    Hello Jana and Welcome! :smile:

    It is great that you have that determined attitude! That alone is half the battle. Just remember that if you ever need support, you will always have a lot of it here!

    I am fairly new myself, but this site is great!

    Hello everyone, my name is Kristi

    Well here I am again at the beginning of the year and everyone is talking about losing weight as their New Year's resolution. Well last year I lost 44 pounds during a Biggest Loser Office Challenge but I have gained most of that back. I am promising myself this year that I will strive to be healthier (physiclaly, mentally, and emotionally) -- not just lose pounds. Yes our office is doing the challenge again this year but don't know if I will join it as it begins next Monday and not sure if that is a healthy thing for me.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

    Hi, Jana, and I am also new to this site, but I think it is a wonderful tool to track your food, exercise and progress, because it tells you at the end of your entry where you will be in five weeks if you continue. For me, that's a REAL motivator. I've always been told that I need to track what I eat, but this is the easiest way to do it that I've seen yet!

    Hi Jana, welcome. Set obtainable goals, don't get impatient. Put a diet plan together, and then follow it. If you want to change your lifestyle you will, if not you won't it's that simple. If you need motivation, the folks here will assist you with any conflicts you encounter I assure. This is a group of doer's and everyone should be proud of yourselves, for the network you have here. Congratulations to all !!!:smile:

    Welcome Jana

    One of the most important things is to stay positive, even when you have a slip (bound to happen now and then). When you fall just brush off the dust and keep going forward! It always helps to have support and encouragement from others that are going through the same thing!

    Good Luck to you and God bless your efforts!
