Hi: New, Still Trying to Lose It...
 

Hi All: I'm new here, writing from the frozen tundra of the East coast. I have been struggling with weight loss since I was 14 ( a very LONG time ago) and the most that I have lost at one time was 42 pounds 3 years ago, mainly because I was on a self-devised DASH type diet and on my feet all day. I gained it back PLUS another 25-30 LBS. For years I tried to maintain my weight by walking 9 months out of the year...last fall I took a nutrition course and I told the instructor that I have lost over 600 lbs in my lifetime! I need to get the weight off for health reasons. There it is, time to DO IT. I am sure most of my weight issues are stress related! I am here for support because I really KNOW how to eat, I just have to give up binging...! Best wishes to ALL.
