Hi All!!!!

My name is Lee and I am new here. I found this site looking for core recipes for WW. I just started last Friday. I am excited about finally making the decision to improve my health. I have lost 2 pounds so far, but my biggest concern is being healthy and CUTE!!! My current weight is 304.9. Changing the way I eat is really challenging, not to mention excersise . My plan is to be committed and take it day by day and week by week. I am a mother of three that works full time and college part time. I LOVE FOOD, I love to cook (which is part of my problem). It's a hard thing to admit, but I am addicted to food/eating. It consumes my life. I would welcome any advice on how do to deal with that..if there is anyone out there with the same problem or someone who has overcome it. I'm 33 years old and I am realizing that I can't live the same way I did when I was 21. I have never been really small or skinny... maybe at 8 years old. Looking forward to making friends!!!!! Good Health and Happiness to everyone!!!

Welcome Lee!

You've found a great place to get support. I'm sure Heather or someone else will tell you to make sure to post on the weekly threads and.. more importantly.. POST OFTEN! I also am doing WW since Feb and have lost the last 30 lbs doing that plan.

After bicycling all summer, I realize my exercising needed to be stepped up to a new level and I joined a gym yesterday!

Hugs and Luv,
RK

Thanks RK!! Great Job!! It is always good news to hear of someone doing what I would like to do! Are you doing core or flex?

[Ratkitten]

Hiya Lee,

I'm doing flex. I haven't ever done core. Right now, TOM is sneaking up on me and I'm ready to munch on my left arm. UGH! I hate these type of days... hehe. I feel like I can eat anything not nailed down.


Luv and Hugs,
Rat

I know what you mean, I have been knawing on carrots and cucumers when I need to chew. It's really hard, but you can do. You have done great so far. I mean wow!!! 116 that is wonderful. I want to be like you when I grow up.

Welcme, LEE! I see you've also found our Weekly Thread as Ratkitten suggested! It's a great place for support, ideas, and inspiration!

Making a COMMITMENT and taking things one day at a time really does help. You have to learn how to right yourself when you go off plan.

I love food, and eating and cooking. So one of my goals has been to cook healthy food (and then portion control them!). I love the food I'm eating now as much as I loved those other foods, That helps me not to give in to cravings -- but I do have to watch portions as I do love the new foods too!

Hi Heather, thanks! Your picture alone is such an inspiration to me!!! I can't wait to see myself like that!
