Hi! while I joined this forum in 2009, I never posted on it! mainly because I was posting in a South Beach forum and I managed to lose those 20 pounds. But I gained them back and I need a fresh start, so I decided to start posting here, looking for new faces, new support and a new opportunity to get to my goal. I will try SB again because I think it is a good plan and I already bought tons of fresh veggies to get started! The funny thing is that I usually wait for a Monday to get started and around Wednesday I fell off the wagon, so this time I will start on Wednesday and I will keep going, I feel I am ready now!

Welcome back! This forum provides a lot of motivation. I'm sure in no time you'll lose the 20 pounds. I just joined about 3 weeks ago and I've already lost 7.5 pounds. Anytime you get discouraged there's tons of people here to help encourage you. Can't wait to see your progress. Best of luck!!!

Hi!

I am just starting out, with 30lbs I'd like to lose - We can do it!

Welcome back and good luck on your journey!!

It feels really good to have the support here! The bad news is that I underestimated my weight and I am one pound heavier than I thought but the good news is that I had a good first day! I ate less, mostly healthy stuff and I went to play tennis today. Not much exercise though because it is doubles and really low impact, but that's much better than my usual nothing. Tomorrow my exercise will be cleaning the carpets and will make good food choices!
