Just want to say hi to everyone and hope to help each other out during our journey. I am 30 years old, 5'4 198.5 was my weight in yesturday. I did great eating yesturday and i ran 1.6 miles on the treadmile. It was a slow pace but a start. Today i weighted in at 196.4 and i know its water weight but i like to weight myself everyday in the morning. For breakfast i had two pieces of bread with butter and jelly. Lunch i had romen and one egg and for dinner im going to have rice and eggs. I plan on doing an excercise video today before dinner. Wish me luck and will check back in tomorrow. How is everyone getting that scale? I'd like to track my progress that way too.

im trying to post a picture and lets see if it works. I'll take more in a couple of weeks to see if im loosing. I did great for dinner and didn't overeat. I ran for 10 mins at 6.2 on the treadmil and it was .90 miles. I then did an exercise video for 15 mins. I plan on running tomorrow. I'll post my weight in too. This is a very active formum. Very friendly people as well. Thank you guys.
goodmorning 3fc, i did not overeat last night yeah!!! I weighted in at 195.2 im having a bowl of honey combs a cup of black coffee and a glass of water with psyllium fiber supplement in the water.
i lost 40 lbs in two months 4-5 years ago using this method. I was able to keep the weight off for a year going from 16 tight to a tight 8 but then slower started gaining it back. now im in the 16 tight again. i hope this method will help me out again. I eat everything on a small child size plate. What ever i want but in fist size portions so the rice was a palm size, the meat and veggies as well and it fit on my plate. I think the warm tea also makes me feel satisfied. the problem will come on the weekend where i binge. when i make a meal i will put the left overs in a plastic quart size ziplock and put it in the freezer. so when im ready for a nice meal i can have a hot one and not just fill up on whatever is fast. so that meat and rice i ordered a week ago and put the left overs in nice portions in the freezer. I took one out and put it in the microwave for 1 min. placed the food on the plate and out of the bag. then microwaved it for another min. so now it's hot but not too hot and i dont have cold spots. Hope this works again. I'm not day 3 of the change in my habbits.
I do the same thing with putting meals in the freezer. I helps me not have an excuse to get off plan I found the challenges here very motivational also. Good luck with your goals.
dinner-i had rice, meat and a veggi. tea and water. Did not feel like having a sweet so i'll pass. I know i'll want it tomorrow. I ran for 20 mins at 5.8. My treadmills belt is slipping so i'll have to tighten it before i can run again so i think workout videos for tomorrow.
