Looking for friends and encouragement

Hello, I'm a 41 year old female in Rochester, NY. I currently weigh 338.4 lbs, and have a goal of 130. So I have a ways to go. I'm interested in making some friends here to help with encouragement. This weekend I stopped eating flour and sugar. I lost 3lbs just over the weekend! The transition is hard - I am eating plenty, but feel hungry ALL THE TIME. My body is begging for sugar. My work provides a TON of food for us, including healthy stuff, but there is a whole table full of bread, bagels, cookies, etc. easy to grab and so tempting! I was able today on my first break to bypass that and instead have an avocado. I hope I can stay strong, but my track record isn't great. I'm more than willing to reciprocate with encouragement. Who wants to be my friend?

    Hi Skyewillow, I'm new too! I stopped eating sugar, carbs and caffeine in May and went through a serious detox, but then slipped and now have to start again. I would love to be your friend, as I'm going through the same thing!
