Happy New Year to All! My name is Liz and I am at in again, trying to lose weight is my new years resolution. It has not worked for the past fifty-some years, but maybe with some help I'll make it this time. I grew up in a family where food was love and even now with an empty nest, when I cook, I cook for an army. I am new to this and hopefully I will make some friends.

    Thanks Sarah. Today was a total washout having eaten lasagna though-out the day. So day 1, into the new year is a failure. Tomorrow is another day and instead of focusing my energy on my eating, I’ll focus into drinking 8 glasses of water and see how that goes.

    Hi Liz, I ate ok, but no activity. You are right, each day is a new start. I am trying to do one thing better each day. Changing everything at once is so overwhelming that I end up giving up too soon. Today I am going to try to get some lean protein in at each meal. Good luck on your day. You can do it!!!!!

    Good afternoon Sarah, today I’m gonna cook light and I thought, what better than chicken soup on a cold day. Of course, as usual, I’m cooking enough to feed an army, but that’s OK. I figure that freezing potions is in my future, that way, on the days that I don’t feel like cooking, Walla! The lasagna has been portioned, and frozen for those lazy days too. We can do this! I hope your day is going well, talk to you latter.

    Hi From Texas. You guys can do this! I am doing a low carb Atkins plan. Works well to keep my sugar under control. Focus on meal planning. Finding recipes, prepping snacks and meals. That always helps me. Write down your WHY you are doing this. Every morning I drink my greens and set out my supplements. That's my start the day the right way! Hope this helps!
