Hello to all. I am a newbie and my daughter in law yankee2cowgirl are going to be support buddies for each other. This should be great. I am at 238 which is the heaviest I have been in a long time. I need to be down to 145 so have 93 pounds to lose. Looking forward to getting started.

I am a newbie on this site - I don't usually do chats and so forth, but I really need to go where I can get support.

Taking one day at a time - I would like to lose about 60 pounds over the next 5 or so months if that is a resonable time span - not sure - any suggestions?

I am going to check into Denise Austin's new diet plan, that sounds pretty good to me.

I believe I will get back onto my stationary bike - it is boring - but it is a start. I have some firm tapes, and also some pilates, does anyone have a suggestion for me? I feel lost on where to begin - I just know I need a change, a life change.

Dee: As long as its not a fad diet I think you'll be okay, just make sure you choose a diet that you can stick to, I personally follow weight watchers. Try to cut down on junk foods, drink plenty of water, 6 cups minimum, plenty of fruits, veggies, fiber and white meats. I personally workout on the treadmill, elliptical and tapes. I'm sure you'll do great!, if you need any help or just want to talk you can PM me

Can't do a fad diet, that would not be life changing for me...

Thanks for the advice - I need to add more activity to my days, and more healthier foods...Fish will be in my new path. I love salmon, shrimp, I guess that won't be to hard to adjust to, More vegs, and fruit...it's the sugar I crave - pies, cakes, cookies, you know that BAD stuff. Arrggh!

Dee: a slice of chocolate cake with creamy chocolate frosting isn't that bad every once in a while chocolate is my weakness
