    Welcome back and good luck---take the words "starting fresh" out of your dictionary--make it a long-term committment, maybe you will have bumps in the road :)

    I know you've heard it before, but NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels. It took me years to internalize that, but once I did I discovered it was so true. Some quick tips I've learned through experience:
    - Don't make your daily calorie goal too low
    - Allow yourself mini "splurges" now and again
    - Be realistic, weight loss should be a steady process rooted in proper nutrition and increasing your activity level

    That's it for now, again, I'm sure you've heard it all before. Let me know if I can help, I've studied nutrition extensively both academically and personally. Go Get 'em!! You can do this!

    I remember Oprah saying once that she thought she would start her next diet on a Wed since she couldn't stick with any plan she started on a Monday. There must be something wrong with Mondays :)

    Stick with it one day at a time and you can do it. I've lost 25lbs since I started here and I haven't been this motivated in years. Feel free to add me as a friend :)

    I had fallen off too. I have learned to take it one meal, one snack, one workout at a time. If I fall off the wagon, I make it a point to do good on the very next item on the list for the day whether it's time for a snack, meal or workout. You can do it. I also have to immediately log it or it's not in my face.

    Hi youv'e picked the best place - I have been exercising & dieting (again) since January 1st this year but lost nothing. Even went to the dr's and had blood tests done, convinced something must be wrong. Since I found this site via my IPhone I haven't looked back
    I have lost 16inches (tummy downwards) & 1/2 stone since being here (May I think)
    So, Well done for making the right start & good luck

    Feel free to add - having friends made all the difference for me
