    Awsome! WTG on weight lose. Sounds like you are already on a roll. I have been out of work for 6 weeks due to neck surery and also had to quit smoking. So needless to say i have gained 12 pounds since then. Can you give me any advise to get me started. I need to be more wise on what i choose to eat ! Nancy

    Hi Nancy!!

    Welcome to MFP!

    It's easy to fall off the bandwagon....but as long as you pick yourself up and get right back into it, then that means progress.

    Good luck to you!!

    Hi I am new tonight, I am nervous, excited and looking for the best support I can get. I am a 35 years old mother of 3 who wants to loose 50ish pounds. That is a very scary number. I weighed myself tonight to start this and my jaw hit the floor when I saw the number. I guess we all have to start somewhere.

    I can remember a time when i was horrified to step on the scale...but then,as the weight started falling off , i couldn't wait to step on the thing:happy: Good Luck to you...you CAN do it:flowerforyou:

LOL( Is this too much info? 0):noway: I am really excited about my second life. Kids are grown and I am a grandmother. I go back to work sometime next week . Which will get me back on my feet. . :ohwell: Looking foward to it. ( i guess ) :laugh: I am a day time bartender at a resturant. Thats about it for the moment. Good luck with your sucess. Lets do this togather. Nancy

    Hi there

    Sorry I missed this last nite as I was ZZZZZ lol :laugh:

    Poor you with the neck surgery hope you are all healed now :wink: I hear you on the smoking I am on and off again quitter .. I lasted for over 2 yrs but after being laid off in Oct I went back on them due to stress :angry: When I get back on my feet again I will try again :ohwell:

    My advice is try and stay low cal and even if you go off track record the calories and try and average the week to the correct amount of calories ... ie have a few less over the next few days :wink: We all have a bad day after all we are "human" :smile:

    Try and exercize every day even if only for 20/30 mins a day .. every step counts :tongue: and lastly drink lots of water it will flush out your system and if you have a glass with food it will keep you nicely full :flowerforyou:
