Hi 40-somethings!
I joined the site last week and I am making a firm committment to my weight loss plan today. I got on the scale this morning and I am 196!!! My weight just keeps creeping up slowly but surely. This nonsense needs to stop today! My first step is writing everything down. Second step is finding support from the members here. I am ready to stay on track. I am doing my own lower carb plan that includes some whole grains and lots of fresh veggies!! I have done this before and it works for me. I hope to get to know you through this forum.
God bless!!

Hi, dietingdiva/gloria! Welcome aboard! Your plan sounds great and I am sure you will find success here with us!
Thank you ICUW!! I have a good mindset this time. When I get it right mentally I do well. When I am half hearted I have a tough time. I look forward to getting to learn more about the members and this site.
Welcome, DietingDiva! It sounds like you have a great plan and are ready to get going. Awsome!!
Looking forward to getting to know you...
Welcome dietingdiva! This is a great place to be for support and encouragement. We are all in this together! You have a great plan. Wishing you success!
Welcome dietingdiva!!! I love seeing new faces here! Sounds like you have a good handle on what you want to do. Good luck in your journey!! The ladies here rock so you have come to the right place!
Welcome Gloria! Glad to have you join us!
Welcome to the group. I find that the more I come here the more I stay in that "right frame of mind". Sounds like you are off to a GREAT start.
Thanks Everyone!
Thanks for the words of encouragement and the warm welcome. I am ready to do this. I have done great so far today. I am ready for dinner then off to rehearsal which means exercise and no snacking! I forgot to mention I also quit smoking today. Crazy I know but I am gonna do this!
Day One
I feel like I had a successful day one! Stayed on track, drank water and wrote down everything I ate. One day at a time!!
oh wow - smoking too??? It definitely can be done. Watch for posts by LoriBell - she quit smoking, drinking, and her old eating lifestyle all at the same time, and I know there are others who have done it! Keep up the great work, and DON'T stop if you can't be perfect. Suck it up and be perfect at the next meal, and the one after that ... and it WILL get easier!
Congratulations on a fabulous day 1!
