Hi there and welcome. I started using this site a week ago and it's actually really helpful. Walking, stretching, leg lifts and arm lifts with weights are a good way to start your exercise program. Google can provide you with lots of no cost options for getting the exercise in. I really enjoy using myfitnesspal, you'll…

I read an article yesterday which read, you've eaten this way most of your life it will take some time change that habit. Don't get upset with yourself if you have an off day.

So incredibly happy for you.....kudos 8-)

Hello there Manchester, England. I live in Ledyard, Connecticut and I am also new to this site. It's been really great, full of really supportive people. I think you'll have a positive experience, I sure am.

Well hey there from Ledyard, CT.....you don't scare me.....love what you wrote 8-)

Did you get sick to your stomach afterwards? Just wondering.

I definitely don't use the word diet and feel it's a lifestyle change. It was a gradual weight gain, I weighted 127 when I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter many moons ago. I weigh a little over 160, my goal is to lose 20 - 25 pounds. I've added running/speedwalking, at least 4 to 5 times a week. That has made a huge…

I'm also new to this site...feel free to add me. This seems to be sticking for me I cannot believe how much I can eat and still stay on track.

You know I felt that way myself but for some reason it's really sticking this time. Take baby steps and don't be disappointed if you have an off day. Don't be too hard on yourself just keep moving forward. I'm crossing my fingers for you 8-)

I've recently begun running and love how it makes me feel. I've finally found my pace which took a while. It's a liberating feeling after I've completed a run. I'll have to google the C25K program, I don't know what that is. Good luck running my fellow newbies.

I'm motivated by the difference I see in my body. I have more energy, I'm sleeping better, my mind feels sharper, it's just an all over positive feeling. I also have a workout buddy all of these things keep me going. I look forward to logging my workouts and meals this is a wonderful tool.

That is wonderful. I have just begun running, when I could run 4 minutes straight I was so happy. I'm baby stepping it to my 1st 5K. Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to be able to share my experience when I'm able to do the same. Great accomplishment 8-)

How great that you've lost so many pounds so far. That's a victory I'm happy for you and I don't even know you. You have strength and determination which has gotten you to this point so far. Don't overlook that. Try clothes made by another designer look for something to wear in a shop you wouldn't typically go to. You are…
