Hi, I new. I want to lose 150 lbs. I do not have a current diet plan but am considering the acia berry and colon cleansing any comments on this I am not very active (yet) I do daycare and am a full wife and mom. I am very tired at the end of the day so hopefully as I lose weight I will have more energy to encourage me to get more active. I am approximately 5"2" and weigh 274 and would like to weigh about 120 by the new year 2010. I have a hard time excerciseing because of my size. Any comments would be appreciated

Welcome! I'm a new girl too. Step one was getting hooked up on here! I think that this site will be helpful and a big motivator for me (and you)! Just come in here and get motivated. You can do this!

Hi and Welcome!!

I don't know much about either of the diets you mentioned.....I have tried ALMOST everything under the sun...LOL!

This year I have committed to doing it myself without any diet aids. Just calorie counting and exersize...and coming here to give and get lots of support.

I took some prescription diet pills once and lost alot of weight....but gained it all back and then some when I stopped taking them....cause I didn't learn any good eating habits......with my calorie counting I have learned to make alot of the dishes that I love in a healthier way so I can eat what I like....without going way over my calorie budget.....

I'm glad your here.....there is a subforum for almost everything...just look around and your sure to find something just for you! Check out the chicks up for a challenge thread too! It is fun...you can participate in lots of motivating challenges!

Hi Dardar! Welcome to 3FC!!!

Check out the 100lb Club for one of the best support groups on the planet. Those ladies know what they're talking about!

I don't know a lot about the acai berry stuff/colon cleansing (you could check out our Does it Work forum), but I do know we need to eat to lose weight. A lot of people find success with calorie counting (check out our Calorie Counting forum). I hear that Leslie Sansone's Walking Away the Pounds is a good place to start exercising if you want to. Try small changes, nothing too drastic.....consistency is the most important thing for longterm weight loss.

I'm glad you're here!
