Sounds great climbingup. You've definitely got the right attitude. just because you aren't perfect doesn't mean that every little change you make to the life that made you the way you are today isn't a step in the right direction! Even if you change one little thing a week, eventually all those little things add up to create a whole new you! Keep it up!0

How's it going climbing up?0

2 weeks in... This weekend was great! LOTS of walking on Saturday and a jam packed busy Friday. I've held strong.. Learning to adapt. I did eat my first red meat in 2 weeks but I'm still holding strong on the pop. I'm going to hit the scale in the morning and believe it will tell me my weight. I've had a person that did not know I've been eating healthy and excersicing ask me if I've lost weight, so that was GREAT! I'll post more tomorrow! Goodnight MFP!0

How's it going bud? Sounds like you had a great weekend! Always feels good when others notice the difference you've made in yourself!0

Going good. Working on expanding my foods. Picked up a bunch of Tuna, chicken and veggies. - I can handle salads, wraps and I'm really not picky so its just about breaking the old habits and starting new ones. Reading more labels when grocery shopping and planning meals ahead of time. I'm just learning and getting started but its going good - I'm actually enjoying it. I'm still a newbie - But this is for the long haul!! Oh yeah! 0

I am happy to see all the support on here. I have also started my very similar journey. We can do this!!0

Congratulations on your new journey.
set weekly goals to eliminate some of the junk food and replace it with healthier choices.
One of my favorites is greek yogurt with raspberries and 1 tsp of splenda/sugar. It has lots of protein and fiber plus it helps my sweet tooth.
Do not get overwhelmed with changing everything at once. Take it step by step.

3 weeks in! - 15lbs down!! There have been ups and downs... I've only cheated a little (I ate a small piece of B-day cake on my daughters 8yr Bday... But I did not eat 2 or 3 pieces with Ice Cream :-) . I have only ate red meat 1 time in 3 weeks. I've ate only chicken and fish, no pork AND I LOVE PORK. I have only drank about 36 oz of pop in 3 weeks. Lots of salad, grilled chicken, baked chicken, roasted chicken, baked fish, Tuna, eggs, fresh bananas, nonfat Greek yogurt. Overall it hasn't been that hard. There have been VERY hard Moments, and a couple VERY hard Days. But I'm so ready to do this! My shirts are fitting looser and moved a notch in my belt, I feel better! My left ankle had TONS of swelling and it is almost down to the normal size of that my right ankle is. I'm not being tempted with unhealthy stuff as much as I was, I honestly think about things and quantity of items I have ate over the last 8+years and could really be hard on myself, almost sickening how we treat our bodies! I've never drank ANY alcohol or done ANY drugs but I've been hard on my body other ways. I've always been a happy person, I'm settled with who I am, I've never struggled with depression and don't worry about what other people think, but that all plays into the Fat and Happy lifestyle. I don't dwell on the past... make better decisions going forward, Live Long, Live Healthy, Live Happy!0

Awesome work! 15lbs is amazing! So glad you were able to enjoy a piece of birthday cake without over doing it and feeling guilty about it!0

This is sounding like such a positive thread. How are you going at the moment? 0

15lbs in 3 weeks?!!? I can't even lose 15oz in 3 months. Sounds like you're well on your way to a beach body competition by summer. Congrats.0
