Hello everyone,
A little about myself! I am a 31 yro mother and wife. I have been BIG all my life. I have been trying for the last 6 yrs to lose but it is so hard when you do not hace support. Everyone makes sure to tell me I am big but no one is there to help when I need it. I was going to have the surgery done but after 4 years of reseach and a good freind of mine dieing from it I said no way in heck. I have tried many of different ways so what the heck is one more. My whole things is getting started. I love food but it hates me. I have NO will power! I so badly want to lose a 145 pounds by the time I am 35yrs old that gives me 4 years. So I really hope this is the one thing that will work. If anyone wants to talk just give me a yell.
Thanks all,
Toni C.

    Hi Toni! Hope this is just the thing that you need. It really helps me to think of it as a new way of life rather than a diet. I'm to the point now that I really look forward to my healthy meals and really enjoy them. You've just got to stay focused. Recording everything in the daily journal has been a huge help for me also. I never realized how many calories I was consuming until I started to write it all down. Yikes!!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!!!!
