Hello out there, I just want to give some words of encouragement for all my fellow weight reducers. Don't give up if you don't see weight loss right away, it took me a month before I started seeing anything, even inches coming off. I have lost 9 lbs. since I started coming on here. I lost 5 lbs before finding this website, but it took me a whole month before I saw any change.
This site really gave me a perspective on what I had to do to keep the weight coming off. When I was younger I never had to worry about my weight, but now that I am middle age and I was putting on 5 lbs a year, I see it is easier to put it on than take it off. I have changed my way of thinking...... and if you eat the right things and exercise, you don't go away hungry. The more you exercise, the more you can eat.

Watch what you eat,
Exercise when you can,
You will have your weight beat,
Make A plan!

Thanks,
Margaret

    Thanks and you are so right- results can be slow but the benefits will show in the end. I was just like you- I had lost 5 pounds before joining in January (2009) then I was slow with the progress but it's paying off more in inches for me then pounds. This website is awesome. I feel great!

    Good luck everyone!
