Need a push.
 

:) Hi I'M a Winter Texan. I am 66 years old. I'm Activity Director at a resort. I have struggled with weight almost all my life. I am up and down like a yo yo. My heaviest weight was 309 I am now 229 and trying to go down. My husband and I have started the South Beach Diet at the urging of my Dr. Had a checkup before I came South to work for the winter season. Both of us had real good checkups. Just over weight. Had a desk job where all we did was sit. That is not good. So Dr said this was a good one so will give it my best shot. Help me keep thinking positive. Got rid of all temting foods that are not good for us so if it isn't here we can not eat it. I have cut my diet pop down to 1 a day instead of alot. I am also drinking water which I drank little of. I was a junk food junkie and I am learning again that vegetables are really good for you. Green is in. God Bless All.

Push, push! Congratulations on your decision! Come back often for a lot of encouragement from everyone on the forum!

Sounds like you are on the way to a good start! Don't know much about the South Beach Diet but if your husband and you are on it together you two should be able to motive each other! I know for me I found the gym boring until I got my iPad . Lol smile. Good luck!

Welcome! If you need a push, just come here. There's plenty of motivation - and plenty of friends!
