Hi everyone, I am a woman in her late 20s and I am aiming to lose around 40 lbs. I am around the highest I've ever been - I hit 185 lbs. this morning. I usually hover around 165 lbs. but gained more weight in the last couple of months due to stress eating. I am 5'7 and want to be around 140 lbs., where my body seems to be happiest at when healthy. I eat out a lot (so much fast food) and don't exercise much at all. I actually drink way too much soda. Here's to becoming healthier in the new year.

Hi welcome!I just wanted to say I love soda but have pretty much given it up, at first I had so many headaches so I substituted the caffeine with unsweetened green tea. Maybe when you feel stressed take a walk instead of eating. good luck, and remember you can do it!
Misti In Seattle, I don't have an exercise plan yet. I don't have a food plan necessarily yet, but I do know I want to count calories and have read up on that. I have done it before but didn't stick with the new way of eating for more than 3 weeks.
chubbiegurl, that's a good idea. I love green tea, so I will try that as a substitute for sure.

Glad you are getting started. Do you have an eating and exercise plan yet?
