Hey! I'm new here too. We've got the same ultimate goal, too!! I started at 220, I'm down to 170 and I'm shooting for 160.

Just keep telling yourself that you WILL do it this time, and forgive yourself if you slip a little. It can be done...I promise!!

Well I was on lean cusines for the past few weeks and i have one more week of food. My big thing is i don't want to be on Lean Cusine for the rest of my life. I was hunting around, found this site and then I saw the link to the Mediterrasian eating plan and, I immideatly signed up and joined 3FC started a blog and i'm looking into the eating plan. It better work!

I'll have Lean Cuisines for lunch, at times, but I enjoy cooking too much to eat them, and only them....a lot of sodium in 'em, too.

Good luck!!

Welcome to both of you. You will come to find this a great place with great ppl who lend endless knowledge. It's amazing the things you find out about food around here, most of all, that we are not alone in the journey of weight loss and getting on track to being healthy.

i think that is what helps most knowing that i'm not alone and i'm not the only one who is struggling. Most skinny people don't get it. They think you are fine the way you are and why would you want to or you hear them make really derogatory comments and don't get why you haven't lost it already. It's such a huge struggle and it takes time.
