Hello there!
I went to sign up and found out I was already a member back in '03 but didn't post. A little depressing since my profile said I weighed 143 then! Anyway, I'm now down to 163...that shocks me everytime I think about it!
Won't be offended if I'm told to go someplace else (suggestions though?) as I'm not even sure what diet I'm following...I would say closest to Paleo? I have tried both Atkins and fasting with very little success personally. I have the metabolism of a rock! I've been eating mostly fruits & veggies and some meat. Trying to stay away from bread and pasta as those never fail to pack on the pounds. I make fruit smoothies in the morning with just frozen fruit and juice and this seems to make me a lot less hungry later on in the day! I never used to eat breakfast but it really does make a difference. I also took over the chore (now blessing) of walking the dog for 40 - 60 min. a day. Exercize is key for me.
Like many others, Jan 1st was my start date. There were a few major factors that lead up to this commitment...my wedding band is getting too snug on my finger, have been noticing joint issues (sore knees & ankles) and most of all that disapproving comments from family! :tears: Luckily my husband is wonderful and has never said anything hurtful.
Well on my way as I lost 7 lbs last week! I was aiming for 2-3 so I'm thrilled.
Sorry this is long-winded. Just really looking for a place for support. Thanks!!!
