Hello everyone, I just came back to this and feeling out of it. I signed up before in the Spring and forgot all about....well ME! I am a mother of an active 3 year old and ready to take the weight loss by storm. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Just trying to learn the ropes of this and needing friends in the same situation. Happy Dieting!

    Hi! Welcome! I just started too, but one thing that has helped is feeling accountable. For example, get yourself a ticker so you can visibly see your progress. Meet people who are in your same situation, and make sure that they keep track of you. I find that when I want to eat something bad, I go here and read people's blogs and messages- many of these people have lost 30 pounds or more, so they KNOW what they're doing.

    Best of luck! :wink:

    Hello and welcome on board!! My dad lives in Mascoutah, IL so I saw the title of your post and just had to respond!!

    Advice? Well, drink LOTS of water, avoid caffeine, be gentle with yourself when you fall (we all do), dont give up, own your accomplishments...even the small ones. Remember that you didnt put the weight on overnight and its not coming off overnight so be patient and dont give up!

    Hows that??

    Good luck!!
