    Hello I'm a newbie from Virginia who has decided that she wants to loose aout 84 lbs. I know that I'm on a hard and difficult road and that losing weight isn't gonna be easy and there is no miracle cure. After all roam wasn't built in a day and it didn't take a day to gain all this weight. I guess that one could call me a junk food addict because I love all sorts of junk food from cookies to chops to candy.

    The hardest thing that I've done so far was go through out the house and got rid of every single piece of junk food. I found this board while looking for information about the fat smash diet that I saw on celebrety fitness on VH1 and I loved what I saw here and thought that this would be a great place to join.

    Hello Shoegal : You are so motivated. I'm with pirate and I don't think I could do that either. Just the same that was very courageous. I eat saltines when I have to take an aspirin to keep my stomach from getting upset. I count calories so I make sure I count them.
    What is "fat smash"? Virginia used to be my old stomping ground before I moved here. I came from Manassas. I loved Virginia. I hope you find what you are looking for at 3fc.
    Pirate Princess: Welcome. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

    I am impressed too Shoegal. It takes some of us months of losing struggles to figure out that the junk food just has to go! No temptations, no problems. Good work! I think you'll be just fine!
