Hi there! (by tomorrow, love it! me too! lol)

Wish you the best in your weight loss journey. I'm having success with drinking apple cider vinegar twice a day.

Thank yo everyone for the warm words and encouragement! I have never seen such a positive and friendly support forum before and I am so glad I found you. I will definitely be popping into the South Beach forum, and probably all the others as well.

I am on day two of my new lifestyle, and have to admit, I am hungry (or is it I am craving?). I know this is how it always starts out so I am staying strong and resisting the call of the kids cheez-its and goldfish crackers.

Wish me Willpower!

If you're really hungry and not just restless, eat something. Make sure you eat a healthy snack. You don't want to get hungry because then you'll anything and everything. You want to get some protein in a snack or veggies with some protein or fat. Celery and peanut butter, lowfat cheese/cottage cheese and pepper strips. hard boiled egg. Cubes of grilled chicken. Go Now and Eat something healthy.

If you're restless and think you want to eat because you don't know what to do with yourself because it's a time of day when you'd be mindlessly snacking: drink water, brew some tea and sip it, chew gum, do something that will keep your hands busy. But if you're truly hungry, eat.

OK, but presumably you wouldn't argue the main point, which is that he is skinny because he moves enough to burn the same amount of energy as he consumes?

So am I, but you can't ignore the underlying aspirations behind the irony, there is potential to become demoralized very quickly. (IMO)
