    Day 3... hasn't been bad. Been a little grumpy - lol Need to boost up my exercise a little within the next week or two.
    This is great thinking. Because nothing burns fat like a little cardio. I'm a big fan of powerwalks! Good luck! :)

    Rethinking my relationship with food, feelings, and every other aspect of my life is how I arrived at the place I am today! I lost 275 pounds (410 to 135), emotional baggage, and 'religion' to become the healthiest I have ever been physically, emotionally and spiritually!

    I'm finishing up Day 5. Things are going good. My 8yr old girl has been making me some smoothies looking up recipes online. :-) This week has been about out with the old and in with the new. Old Habits out, New habits in. Old unhealthy groceries out, new veggies and healthy snacks in. Old me out... new me in! I'm determined to stay on track through the weekend. On the way to work this morning I threw 1 pop tart out the car window. I wasn't hungry and new I was about to eat it, sad but true! so I threw it out. I promise the thing bounced off the window and landed in my lap! I said "You Dirty Devil get outta here!" And finally got it out!

    I got the Victory!!

    You should be so proud of yourself for taking on the challenge. I had 200lbs to lose when I started and I'm half way done. I think you are brave. It's hard to open up about these things. Just remember that you can't change everything over night, that sometimes you might not do as well as you wanted, but that tomorrow is a new day and you can do it. You don't have to cut every unhealthy thing out of your life in a day (or ever), but plan for it. I look forward to watching your journey and will cheer you on all the way!

    Good for you for making the changes. I'm down 111 at the moment and have learned that changing one thing at a time is the best way. And remembering that it's okay not to be perfect.

    Love the Pop Tart story :smiley:

    I've just started following this board and am overwhelmed by everyone's support. I just cancelled my membership with Weight Watchers due to the changes and the cost and going to follow with MFP. I have my fitbit ready to rock and did my profile. Mind you, I've been signed up on here but lapsed a little bit so now I'm back and I welcome any new friends to help me out and hopefully I can help everyone as well.

    I too am OVERWHELMED by the support! It has made my 1st week of the new normal MUCH easier. As I finish out day 6 I know it's only 6 days, but it's went so quick! 1 Dat at a time.

    I'm ready too see my weight!... my scale goes up to 559lbs it ALMOST doesn't error out now. I honestly think I was 570lbs or more when I started. I know I've lost this week, I don't know how much and don't really care! I am excited for the first of many milestones... just to KNOW how much I weigh! Fired Up! It's GOING to be within the next few days....when the scale (which does speak) tells me a weight, ANY weight instead of that stupid "beeeeeeeeeeeep" "ERROR" that I currently get!

    550's look out I'm joining your club but don't get too attached I'm not sticking around! :smile: :smiley:

    I'm a recent WW deserter too! I became lifetime back in '99 and struggled over the years getting back to goal. This last program change just didn't sit well with me and I realized that I was losing money every month, not weight :( I'm happy to say I've lost 4.5# since I started 30 days ago, and am eating most everything I was eating before. Love MFP's tracker and being able to follow my nutrients as well as calories; so much easier and motivating than points. Lots of great supporters here and more motivation than you can find at a WW meeting. I'm also a Fitbit wearer so I'll send a friend request for here and the Fitbit app. I love motivation!!
