May this be the last and lasting time
 

Hi all. Everything I've tried alone has been, eventually, unsuccessful.m I've lost up to 35 lbs in the past, but I truly have 135 to lose.

I haven't tried support and I'm hopeful that it's the missing key.

I'm vegetarian - do eat eggs and cheese. And fish.

Carbs and cheese seem to be what I always reach for.

It's killing me.

I feel much better when I eat clean protein and healthy veggies. I know this.

I feel much better after a 40-min swim in the morning. I know this.

Was a runner, now knee cartilage ripped in both. walking bad for me now. Sheesh.

Bought Spirutein today for am and pm meal replacements.

The exercise and clean food prep means putting my body's needs before all the other life priorities. Not good at that.

Financial Controller for two different organizations. No stress there, right?

I'm happy to be here with you all, and have always found that helping others makes me feel better, so shout back and we can make believers out of each other.

I will use My Fitness Pal to track calories. It keeps me honest.

Food has always been my comfort for daily stress - something to look forward to. Did I mention it's killing me?

Love to cook, love cooking shows but must make far better choices.

All my friends are trim. ALL OF THEM. The dirty rats.

Many blessings to you all xxooo

Hello I can tell you from experience losing weight is not easy because it involves a lot of change. changing what you eat, how much you eat, when you eat you pretty much have to shift your whole way of thinking. believe me though, it is totally worth it. you will feel so much better about yourself. Best of luck! :carrot:

Hello and welcome to the forum! Best of luck to you. I am sure you will achieve all of your goals

:wel3fc:! I hope you'll find it as wonderful here as I do. Support is so important! I highly recommend you write a list of foods you can't eat in moderation and then stay away from them....at least that's a huge component of what has helped me this time. You're intelligent and funny...I look forward to reading your posts! :hug:
