in Introduce Yourself
Just decided to sign up for some support. Hopefully this makes me accountable to something/somebody. Looking to lose 25 lbs starting today. Very active but struggle with overeating and unhealthy diet (high fat/sugar).

    you can do it Justin, add me if you need a friend!
    I struggle with the same thing, I feel the only think that keeps me sort of on track is the exercise but I have been plateauing and I know it's because of my eating habits. I am determined to learn how to eat better and actually do it.

    Hello everyone! I am looking to lose about 40 pounds and my problem is the afternoon!! I am fine during the day and i watch my calories and then BAM the afternoon comes and I break down! It's horrible! I am doing Zumba and I LOVE it!! I would really like to lose this weight before my hubby and I get gregnant... I want to be a fit mom! :-) My husband is thin and can whatever he wants but I want to make healthy eating a part of our life. I don't want to fall off the wagon this time.....I know I would feel so much better about myself if I lose the weight.... :-)

    Welcome, and good luck! It certainly does help to have people to be accountable too. You will likely also find that using the food and exercise diaries are very helpful-writing down everything you eat definitely makes you aware of what you're putting in your body.

    Best of luck!! The accountablilty is great for me. And just the knowledge (looking up a food before eating it and seeing the calorie count, etc) has helped me make much better choices!! You can do it!!
