Hi Everyone,
My name is Karen and as you can already tell I live in Maryland. My starting weight was 260. I started living healthier on Monday, February 2,2009. I began by cutting out all soda. I used to be a Coca-Cola junkie but now I only drink water w/lemon slices. I am also sticking to a 1500 calorie diet. Most days I eat less. I am also using the Wii Fit for an hour each day. My goal this week is to buy the Biggest Loser DVD's.

I would love new recipes to try and any snack ideas anyone has. So far I have been trying to stick with 100 calorie snacks.

Thanks,
Karen

Welcome I also live in MD and although I didn't go to UMD, I love terrapins

Nice meet you Karen. The newest Jillian Michaels DVD's are not yet available. I am also new myself. Before starting here I have lost about 16 lbs.

I can completely relate to being a soda junkie...LOL! Watch out for those massive withdrawl headaches....OUCH!

I started drinking different kinds of diet sodas this past summer and now I love diet sodas....at first there was a wang and all...but now I drink them the way I used to drink regular ones only w/o the calories...

I figure I can do this and wean myself off slower!

Good luck with the water and no sodas! Sounds like you are a woman on a mission and you know what you want!
