    I'm new too! :) Hoping we can help each other stay motivated! My husband is in Iraq and coming home in about a month and we are going to our 10 year High School reunin :/ Want be able to squeeze into one of my dresses :) That is just short term for me. I'd like to loose about 50-60 lbs total. How about you? What are you doing to loose? Good luck!

    Hello girls! :) I'm pretty new here too but I've quickly made myself "at home" on here. I have a support group set up that you're both welcome to chat on (hm_day's Support Group in the search) and you're welcome to add me. Chocolatahtay, if you need help with your blood sugar, definitely add me. I'm hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and I may be able to help you :)

    Good luck girls!

    Welcome!

    For eating, I am on a paleo (also known as caveman) diet. It's basically protein and veggies. It was hard to get used to but I've stuck to it about 6 months and it's easy peasy now. My favorite meal is a baked chicken breast with yam fries and a greek salad (cucumber, tomatos, and a little bit of feta cheese with a bit of salt and pepper for seasoning, a tablespoon of olive oil for the dressing).

    Here's a quick guide on paleo eating: http://www.crossfitsolus.com/Paleo_eating.html

    I think this is a great meal plan for people who want to lower their blood pressure and sugar intake. Good luck!
