Hi everyone 41 M here, I posted in the introduce yourself section, a lot of weight to lose I started this past Sunday. Hope to get to know you all and learn from all this great information. Current weight 484

Welcome Soonermort.... how did your first few days go? Great I hope!

Going into my 10th day now and still going strong. Sweet tooth cravings have been a struggle at times but I've stood strong. I have been doing well at planning ahead and making sure I have meals and snacks covered at work. My 1 week weigh in was 13 pounds lost, I know it's mostly water weight but it was a good start and a nice motivational boost.

That's a fabulous first week - it really serves to keep you motivated. As for the sweet cravings, I found if I overeat on-plan, instead of going off plan, it helps a LOT!! Good luck

Welcome! Looks like you're a lightweight compared to where I started out.

If you haven't found dietdoctor.com I highly recommend you check it out. It has made all the difference for me.

I would wish you luck, but you don't need it. You already have strength and knowledge, which are so much better.
