Hi!
Glad your here. I find my medical issues to be less and less as I weigh less and less.
I've found these forums to be really helpful and I'm meeting new friends every day.
I haven't cheated since I've been here(20 days) but I can tell you what cheating did for me in the past. I weighed 212 last fall and ate all the stuff I loved all winter. I stopped at +20.
The reason I am here today is because I made the decision to get back on plan before I regained everything I lost....so one day at a time I eat healthy and I'm feeling better already.
