    Welcome Sis,

    glad you jumped a board, it is hard at first, but it is great to see how bad your eating when u first start and see u only have so many calories, and that eating a bagel in the morning, is 360 calories.. U learn alot. I have fallen of the wagon but hopefulyl will get back on it.. be true to yourself and input everything you eat even if it is bad, otherwise your lying to yourself..

    Good luck we can do it! Now to get you back to the gym too!

    Hugs

    You can do this. And you'll probably fall off the wagon a couple of times, but the important thing is to always come back. If I'd been disciplined I could have made my goal months ago. BUT if I hadn't come back I think I would have lost all the progress I've made. For me it's been 2 steps forward, 1 step back. But progress is being made. I tell you this because I think everyone expects they'll just get motivated somehow, like I did, when they weren't before. A part of the battle I think is sticking to it.

    So find yourself something you love to do for exercise, whether dancing, running, classes, Wii games, whatever--even walks are good! And report in honestly like Bonnie1974 said. You will reach your goal, you can do this!
