    I couldn't agree more then what everyone is saying but the best answer is be honest with yourself, take it one day at a time and if you do bad one day just pick up urself and start fresh the following day.... Good luck and just feel free to add me

    Hello there

    Firstly you have made one of the best choices by joining this site. Congratulations (and no I am not on commision!)

    I joined this site a while ago and by being honest with myself and recording every single morsel of food I ate gave me the will power to change the way I eat and the things I eat. I had a break for a short while and yes I admit I was naughty and a few pounds crept back on, but here I am again, and I know 100% that I will shed those pounds plus some more.

    The trick, like I have just said is to be totally and utterly honest, record everything and I promise that you will loose the weight.

    I can see you have had several offers for friendship, but if you can squeeze another one in, please feel free to add me. Moral support goes a long long way.

    Keep smiling your beautiful smile and have confidence in yourself. You CAN and WILL do it

    Please let me know how you go on

    Pobbles x

    THANK YOU all so much! I am still trying to figure out how to use this board, so it may take me a while to reply, etc properly, but I will get there!!! It feels nice already to have such a wonderful welcome from you all and the understanding of the daily struggle food can be.

    We're all in the same boat here. I'm new. Don't be nervous, this is not a contest, you will not be judged. We are here to support each other. Doing this stuff alone is very difficult and easy to lose track. This keeps you going, keeps you motivated, keeps you honest and helps you be successful. Add me. :flowerforyou:
