Hi there, I posted a HELLO on the main board, but I've made my choice of subforum, as 100+ sounds about right.
That's a journey of 1000 steps, and that's no lie. . . I think I'll focus on the first 5 steps and not freak out about the rest just yet!
I also wanted to start NOW and not have it be another crazy New Year's resolution that last til about Jan. 3rd. I've committed to a few small changes, like dumping the McDonald's double-cheeseburgers, the diet coke (I always seemed to drink it WITH something!), and the grazing all night long. Instead, I've decided to stop eating by 8 p.m., make lunch instead of grabbing something, and no soda. Those were pretty easy choices, and aside from a few headaches, I've achieved it just fine these 2 weeks, and I'm down 6 lbs. Next week, I'll add a few more smart choices, NOT the overwhelming demands I used to set, which guaranteed failure.
I'm really happy to be here, and look forward to getting to know you all
