    Newbie to this thread :smile:

    Just for today, I won't snack between getting home from work and having dinner.

    Got too tempted by the chicken in the fridge! But pleased that I was much better than normal :smile:

    This morning I am beyond happy!

    Day 485: The world outside the window is hazed in a mist of raindrops. My mind wanders back to the day my life changed beyond all dreams and expectations. I am a willing slave to the quest for health and fitness. Each morning I labour to achieve my goal of improving my stamina and flexibility. This morning I passed a huge milestone. I am 11 stone (154lbs), the lightest that I have been in over 40 years.

    May your quest be as successful as mine has been!

    Calorie limit.
    Practice "stopping" when the meal is over.
    Run an hour very slowly.

    This is a day of big goals for me. But I'll need them! Off to run an hour. Check back soon!

    Hi! New to the thread, having a hard time staying motivated (even though I'm getting married in 4 months!), and being around food all day (restaurant manager) is tough :s . I want to lose 25 lbs and am going to take this one day at a time!

    Goals for today:
    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to calorie goal
    - Walk 20,000 steps
    - Drink only water and black coffee

    Thanks! Have a great day!
