    I just started up again about 5 weeks or so ago. It's slow going, but I guess slow and steady wins the race. Good luck! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I can use all the moral support and encouragement I can get! :)

    I am on day 2! I hope that it is different this time (I have trouble sticking to a healthy regimen)

    Welcome, Good luck, and a few hints.

    Take pictures and measurements TODAY.

    Start using a food scale TODAY.

    Start getting friendly with a barbell TODAY.

    And last, yet certainly most important, Forget every excuse you ever had for not being bas@$$ TODAY.

    Thanks to all! Doing well so far, I am waiting til Saturday morning to weigh in. I should have done measurements, I will after weigh in and go from there. I love this site and wish I had found it sooner. I am walking approx. 40 min daily and am adding weights in every other day. My encouragement song every morning is "Day One" from Matthew West. Very upbeat! You all should give it a listen....very encouraging and uplifting!!! I am also still finding my way around the site.

    What's going on in 178 days? My Dday is the end of August, my first child is getting married and I don't want to look like a beached whale wearing a mumu at the wedding. I found the dress I would like to wear and need to lose about 20# to get into it.........I bought it and am bound and determined to wear it!!!

    As soon as I figure it out, I am posting my dress as my profile pic so I can see it all the time for motivation.

    Great job on your decision to get healthy. Stick to the 3 keys and you will be successful! The 3 keys are nutrition, exercise, and support. Feel free to add me!

    Thank you! I agree nutrition and exercise are key. Added free weights to my exercise program. I am still trying to figure out how to add support friends.....New to site.

    Hi there. I am actually on day 3 but only just gone on here. I'm using Diet Chef. No good at portion sizes or calorie counting.

    What is Diet Chef? I actually like the fact I have to measure and look a lot closer at what I am eating. It's amazing how many calories I was consuming and didn't realize! No wonder I gained so much weight over the years. It creeps up on you over time. Good luck to you. Everyone has to find what works best for them, that's the important thing.
