Hi, i'm an italian girl and I decided to join this forum because I would like to have some support from people that are trying to lose weight as I'm. I've seen that the forum get update pretty often, so I tought that here I can find someone to talk in difficult times when temptation come.:)
I'm 160 pounds and I would like to achieve the gol of 120 pounds!
PS sorry for my not so good english!

Hi Valu! Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll find support here!

Welcome valu! Your english is far superior to my italian, so no worries! If you can narrow down your approach, low fat + calorie counting, low carb, etc. you'll be able to see more info that can help your specific path. Welcome!

Welcome!

Your English is looking good and you will be too! Welcome!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'm vegetarian from 10 years now, I recently started a zone diet, seems to work,but sometimes it's difficult to find the protein part of the meal...
Also I think I should add some work out...but I don't know where to start...
One last thing, I would like to ask to all the ladies how they manage the craving pre period...I cave last time and so I basically had to start over the diet...

Valu, I'm in perimenopause and still have those awful cravings. Most often I give into them, then pick myself up and start over. It does slow down the weight loss, but I'm steadily losing. I wish I could be more help. I'll be looking for answers to your question, too.

Sometimes little nibbles help me, if I am craving then I am
thinking my blood sugar is dropping, so I get a few nuts
or a small piece of cheese and a beverage and nibble
the nuts or cheese very slowly, just to take the edge
off. The usually keeps me until the next meal time.

Thank you everyone! I will try very hard to not fall into temptation!
