Default Hi I'm a Newbie and just would like some support in my continuing weight Loss

My name is Vonnie, I'm 59 and disabled. Just recently I have begun to walk again and I am really excited about that! For the last 5 - 6 years I had to use a handicap scooter to go everywhere because my back pain was so terrible. I also have fibromyalgia and Menieres disease. I started walking in May just around our apartment building but 6 months later I am now walking a mile a day! Yay me! Anyway, I am at the age where I simply have to cut down my daily calorie intake and I do that by eating a lite breakfast, Slim Fast for lunch, and a normal dinner. And of course I watch my portions and calories. So far since May of 2012 I have lost 27 lbs. I'm a bit worried now however, since the holidays are coming and it's really hard to resist all the goodies! So I thought maybe if I had some support I could do that. I had joined another group "Lauries Lovely Losers" and thought they were nice until I realized that they were only there to sell "Skinny Fiber" pills. If I would post about my Slim Fast diet the administrator would delete my posts. Finally she just kicked me out because I wasn't talking about her diet product. Nice huh? I sure hope you don't advocate any one diet here because I'm hope to actually get some support here.

Hi Vonnie and welcome! One mile a day is awesome!
This site has plenty of diet sections, you won't be kicked out for talking about slim fast.
