Talking I'm new here but longtime lurker!

Hello
Well, I finally decided to introduce myself. I feel like I know all of you already and so many of you have inspired me soooo much these last few months.

To start I have lost weight too many times to count....I've been on Atkins and Sugar Busters before with great results but always regained the weight. Life and events would happen and I would resume my old ways of eating.

This time I made up my mind that it was going to be different and MY WAY!
I started walking the first of January because we had some warm days and I told myself it was a START. Then, I started to think about the food choices/ portions. At first I just cut back and started to read labels. I kind of calorie count but not too seriously. I didn't do anything that I knew I wouldn't keep doing for the rest of my life. I added more and more days per week of walking. The time also increased. I started drinking more water......and here I am. It's been VERY VERY slow. But I've have learned so much about myself.

My mother (now deceased) always had problems with her weight and bad eating habits. I loved her so but do not want to pass on the same habits to my girls.

Hope you'll welcome me here......I've got some more to go on my journey!

I absolutely believe in the Change One theory (though I know NOTHING bout the diet) in that we should work on changing one habit, master it, then move on to another habit and so forth. It is less overwhelming and more likely to work for long term. WTG!

I don't know what kept you from joining for so long but WELCOME!

I am still fairley new here also. I do agree with you 100% I have started just making small changes in my life that I know that I can do for the rest of my life. I believe that is the only way it is ever going to work and so far this is the most weight I have ever lost (besides after the birth of a child) and granted it has only been a four months but I feel good and don't see any reason why I can continue this way forever. I look forward to getting to know you.
