I am a 26 year old from Tennessee who fell in love 16 months ago and packed on 30 pounds. I want to learn how to live the healthy lifestyle for good. I have been gaining and loosing weight since high school and I wonder when I'll ever get it right. I started going to the gym 5 times a week but I can't seem to make good food choices. I crave sweets daily. Any advice?

    Welcome!

    Please read, read, read! There is so much great information on this site to help you!

    This is your new mantra - "the first time I put sugar in my body, it craves it for the rest of the day". be careful what you eat for breakfast. try and protein and a starch combo for best results.

    Good Luck!

    Yup. Just start reading topics that look interesting to you and go from there. Sometimes I just pick the message board I am in the mood for - like Food and Nutrition and just start reading...

    Everytime I read a new post, i learn something! Like freezing pineapple chunks for a quick snack!
