in Introduce Yourself
Everyone could use an extra push sometimes, or just someone to say "you can do it!!" and mean it. So I started a new diet! I had a beautiful little girl 6 months ago and I'm trying to loose the baby weight. Starting Weight: 200lbs Goal: 145lbs. Started on Sunday, April 10th... so here we go!!

    Take advantage of everyday!!!! You can do it. Some days that I don't feel motivated I put my exercise into my log before I do it and when I see the numbers it helps. And since its in my log I have to do it!!! :wink: The other thing that helps with this site is at the end of the day "finish" your diary, it tells you what your projected weight will be. If you meet people on here, add them!! its great to see everyone work hard and it makes you want to do that much better! feel free to add me as your friend!!! I have a similar situation, I had my son two years ago. I have lost the baby weight and another 20LBS in addition.

    You can do it! This system really helps you to be accountable for the good stuff, i.e., exercise, water, eating healthy, and also can help point out the not so good stuff. Be true to yourself and do your very best to own each an every thing you eat and drink and try to find something on the food database that most closely represents what you have had. Drink 10 glasses of water (8 oz) each day and have protein (100 grams I think is the recommendation for women). This is my third week monitoring what I am doing and it really does help. Sometimes it can help with the willpower when you see what you have already had for the day. So good for you for getting started. There will be weeks where the weight seems to fall off and other times where you have done above and beyond and nothing seemed to have happened. Just keep plugging along and it will come. Good luck!

    Good luck meeting your goal! I have found that entering every food I eat has really opened my eyes to how I abused my body, mind, and soul. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get below the obese level on my scale, and normal is so far on the horizon that I doubt I will ever get there!
