in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I'm new on this site. I'm just trying to find a few friends who can help keep me motivated.

I have a huge target of at least 15KG (33lbs) to lose. It's day 2 and I'm already feeling light headed and wanting junk food :(

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck to you all whatever you're wanting to achieve.

    I'm new here also, so if u want to add me ur more then welcome too.
    I found the first week was the worst for sugar cravings, but I found eating a sweet type fruit like strawberries or something like that helped with those cravings. Or even doing something else to keep my mind off it worked just as well.... (am also trying to give up smoking at the same time)

    Wow to diet is hard enough but to give up smoking is a huge challenge, good for you - and best of luck with achieving your goal :smile:

    Lightheaded is not good. How many calories are you taking in?

    Hey! Feel free to add me :smiley: I am not new here, but I am trying really hard to get back on track after gaining 15 pounds back (boo). I'd love another person to check in with. Accountability is key, I think.

    Hey so the light headedness has gone, only lasted a couple of days, I was well under my calorie intake (400-600 cals), but I'm now only just under, that seems to be doing the trick :)

    Hi there! My name is Patty andI am looking to lose a good bit of weight, but I think i am going to break it down into 10 pound chunks. then repeat as needed. lol. I would love to get away from soda and lose enough weight to get rid of some blood pressure meds. I know I can do it, because I did it between pregnancies, but i have just gotten flat out lazy. I would love to join your little group :)
