      No excuses is the path to walk. Good on you for taking that important first step, OP.

      Thanks all. I've done this before, just very hard getting going again. Helps being single lol. Just sucks that I'm going to have to isolate myself socially since everything in the Bay Area revolves around food and booze.

      You shouldn't need to isolate yourself socially. It seems you would still have some good choices at restaurants and eatery's, and liquor has fewer calories than beer. When I began this journey, I knew I would have to figure out the food thing, because Austin is known for it's fabulous restaurants. I make sure to order grilled meat, all sauces and such on the side or without, vegetables, etc. I eat low carbs, and am still able to eat out and keep to my macro's and calories. Best of luck to you!

      Austin is a great city, in fact it's where I did this the first time. Everyone is super attractive and fit in that place, what The hell :):smile: I guess my initial "push" I need to avoid temptation by not being around unhealthy food and people. Once I get back into my routine, I'll have the discipline to not order French fries...... :neutral:

      You will find lots of motivators/supporters here, welcome! I can relate about Austin, recently moved back to the area. But have managed to stay the course and lose....and still eat some good food. You WILL do it! You can add me.

      It takes being "fed up" or motivated to get to where you want to go! You can do it! I really hope you reach your goal! Good luck to you!

      I'm a good motivator if you want to add me. I've been on here ages. Sounds like you can do it if you put your mind to it. Be patient and make small goals at first.
