    baby steps & slow and steady are my motos

    take it one day at a time, one pound at a time

    you CAN do it, you just need to stick with it, drink your water, log everything you eat, you will then see results

    I started by finding a change in my diet that didn't feel like a diet. I also took the step to join a gym because if I'm paying, then I'll go.

    Whenever I hit a wall, I focus on the benefits of pushing through. For instance when I hit a wall while working out I think about swimming this summer. I think about not being embarrassed when I take my shirt off.

    Hi, Welcome to MFP.I've been here for two weeks now.It was hard for me to start.I used to buy any type of pills for losing weight; and so with these food systems.I also try the shakes, and teas.And even went to a weight control center.And kept gaining weight once I quit.So I decided this year will be different.I told my daughter in law that I was picking my life and make some new arrangements.I was going to lose weight.And she told me about this place.So I came to MFP.I surf around.I saw that everyone was on the same boat as I was.Ones had lost weight and encouraged you to keep on.Others are in as you are.So I began writing I'M NEW!!!A lot of people answer and welcome me to MFP.I began logging everything I ate and everything I did.Then I saw that you are the only one to rule your routine and your diet plan.I keep eating the same things I always like to eat but measured.The only thing new are the greens in every meals.I eat green beans or broccoli or pickles(raw), green peppers, lettuce(different types) which i never did before.I eat green because it will accelerate your metabolism naturally.
    So if I can be of any help, just let me know.
    And make it like something you will enjoy and it will be great.I made a lot good friends even met a friend from my hometown.Isn't it wonderful.
    See you can enjoy what you are doing even if it is hard to do.
    Go on, girl.We will be here to keep you into your plan.
    God bless you and take care.
    your new friend
