Congrats to all the ones that have lost!!! Keep going, you can do it!! And Welcome to all the newbies!

Well, today is my first day. I weighed in this morning, 170.2 (higher than I thought it was going to be), and will weigh again on February 1st. My DH is pretty excited, he's pretty much vegan and he's liking the recipes I found on this site. Some new things for him to eat! So wish me luck! I'm going to have some pretty good headaches for a few days, I'm a diet pepsi drinker, and it's going to be cold turkey withdrawal but I know it's worth it.

Good luck, dawnj! You can do it.

Hello IamSum1sbratt - I am also in Lex KY! Small world!

Congrats to everyone here just starting out - you have decided to make the hange to eating and exerising and that is half the battle. One I started losing and seeing results, I wasn't tempted to cheat beause I loved seeing the lbs fall off. I HATED exercising and now I enjoy it - it gets me out of the house at dinner time, helps me de-stress and I sleep better. With exercise in the beginning, the hardest part was getting in my car to head to the gym.

Some other things I have noticed since I started fat smashing, exercising and drinking a minimum of 70 oz of water daily - my skin is better, not nearly as dry and my face doesn't break out like it used to. Also I really want to better myself in other ways - I am taking vitamins and calcium supplements daily and I am adding flax seed into my smoothies and oatmeal for the healthy omega 3s. I find myself wanting to do everything to be a healthier person. I hope all of you out there get as inspired as I have been, I am really feeling like a new person.

GOOD LUCK! Lem

I am off Clays Mill. I am not sure where Bryan Ave is? It feels so good when people notice your loss, doesn't it? It makes me feel so proud of myself for working at it so hard. I had a lot of problems with vitamins making me sick and my dr suggest kids chewables so thats what take I hope everyone has a great week! Lem

Tomorrow I will be starting the diet. It sounds okay. Hopefully I will stick to it. A friend of mine has lost over 16 pounds since November on this diet. She looks great. Wish me luck.

I messed up. I'm thinking about starting over. Stupid cake and cookies. They tasted sooo yummy, but it's not worth gaining weight over. Wish me luck, again.

Good luck Krey80. I know you can do it!
