Hey everyone, my name is Jess and I just started this profile today. I'm finally getting my act together! I'm just looking to say hi and see if anyone has any ecouraging things to say. I'm anticipating a rough road but I'm VERY excited to start it.

    hi.
    i am not new but i have been off for awhile...
    the best thing that has worked for me is having healthy stuff readily available. i will go out of my way to eat junk so i have to make sure the good stuff is VERY convenient. one downfall i have is thinking of food and realizing i am not even hungry so beware of your brain! before you eat anything ask yourself am i hungry? and one other really good tip is to eat often. like every two and half to three hours but stuff that is good for you so you don't get to that starved point where you want to binge.
    good luck and congratulations on your start.
    this site is fun and helps us to be aware of what we are eating because we know we will have to enter it!

    Good Luck! This DOES work. I was 20 lbs overweight for like 4 years and could never get any real weight loss. I stuck with it and really maximized it my getting in some good exersize and lost most of it in 2-3 months. That was with some slacking. If you keep bruning those caoris yuo dont have to eat like a bird. You still ahve to watch snacks and portion sizes but you end up finding what works for you. I would not have survived without my 100 calorie cookies and snack mix. It got rid of the snack attack for sure. Summer is the bets time because you have so many options for getting off your duff! Have fun!
