Hey Everyone,
So I'm doing a complete overhaul of everything in my life, beginning with my weight. For too long now I've let myself go to always be there for everyone else, which is great but resulted in a flabby, unhappy me. So here I am! I have roughly 110 lbs to go, hopefully over the course of roughly a year. I haven't selected a specific diet but have been creeping along reading reviews. Right now I'm just doing high protein, high fresh fruits and veggies and eliminating all processed "white flour" types of things. Whole grains and such are my new best friend. Anyways just wanted to say hi and thank everyone who's here, it's such a great motivator to see you all!

Welcome alove87! This is a GREAT place to start your overhaul. Good idea cutting out "white flour" foods. Best of luck to you!!

Your eating plan sounds like a wonderful way to start! One word of unsolicited advice lol... don't give yourself a time limit! I tell myself I would love to lose 100lbs in a year but any year I begin where I am LESS WEIGHT than the year before is a PLUS! Last year I only lost about 25 lbs but is better than some years where I have started with a 25 lb GAIN...

SO be kind to yourself, keep plugging away, ANY loss is cause for celebration... and stick around... this is a great site!
