      I need to lose 75 lbs. I lost half of that a few years ago, but somehow it found me. The biggest thing is changing our eating habits and Really sticking to it. I fell back into my old bad habits, but NO MORE...

      Can add me as well.

      Background: Summer of 2011, I found out my blood sugar levels were through the roof....dangerously high. I had gone from being roughly 168 while in high school/college....to my heaviest weight ever at 270. So, I made a decision to get this under control once and for all. In the period of July - September, I lost 35 pounds. In October - December certain life events dropped me into depression, and gained 15 pounds back. Starting on Jan 1, I am recommitted to dropping the excess weight again...and so far have lost 6 pounds this week. Yeah..that's high for one week, and I anticipate the drop rate going back to 1-2 pounds a week soon. But I can tell you that you CAN do this. I can, and you can.

      What worked for me was eating 4-5 different colors of fruit/vegetables every day, eating 4-5 small meals per day, and avoiding the "evil 5 foods". The evil 5 are breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, and sugary foods and drinks. I get carbs from other foods and sugar naturally from fruits.

      Keep the faith in yourself. Be strong. Remember, you're a beautiful, strong person who will accomplish whatever you set your mind to do. Just keep focused. :)

      Take it slow and get yourself a food scale. It was the best thing I did for my weight loss. Welcome and good luck. :flowerforyou:
