in Introduce Yourself
I am just now getting into loosing weight, well the past year I've been trying but not succeeding. Anybody who has any pointers or healthy foods I can eat please find away to get in touch with me on here. I suffer from a back/hip injury so I need excersize that are not so rough on the back.

    Welcome summer. I had some serious back pain and feel for you. one of my tips is to keep carrots and celery in the front of the fridge (pretty much hanging right in the way). Sometimes when I dive into the fridge for that snack I think I need I see them and it reminds me of my goals. A couple carrots and celery with a big glass of water, wait 20 minutes and see if you are really hungry 9/10 times it does the trick. (its that darn 10th time!). good luck! Also you will hear this a lot, log everything you eat no matter what, its an eye opener on calories, sodium, etc.

    Hi Alabama girl :) Georgia girl here :) I'm Betty and welcome to MFP!! You've come to the right place for support and encouragement, Summer. I've been here on my journey for over 18mths now and I've managed to lose 120lbs. I can tell you that it is not easy at all. This is why you have to approach this with a fierce determination and commitment no matter what obstacles you may encounter. If you should like to friend me, I'd be very honored. I wish you all the best as you start this exciting weight loss journey :smiley:
