    Welcome!:smile: Take a deep breathe and remember to take it one day it at a time. It is a long journey with many detours, but remember to always steer yourself back on track.

    This is a great site, and has helped me termendously the last few months. When i get stuck or I am trying to stop myself from raiding the Fridge I log on here and remember what I am doing.

    Good Luck and remember to drink lots of water throughout the day.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Hi Ruthie Welcome to the sitr. Slow and steady, log everything in the beginning of the day so you know
    (this helps me anyway), exercise and drink lots of water. Asks questions and read the boards have been so helpful to me. Good - luck

    Hi Ruthie,

    Welcome to MFP.:bigsmile: This works best when you take it one day at a time and take baby steps.:bigsmile: I started by planning my meals in the morning and sticking to the plan. when I could do that, I tried to learn as much as I could about healthy eating.

    Take the time to learn about all the features of MFP. There is a lot of help here:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Check in every day to be in touch with people who will encourage you on your journey.

    Good luck:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
