Healthier from now on!!

  • Hi I am new here...well I've lurked for a while but only posted once or twice on someone's post. LOTS of great people with their own stories and struggles to help inspire and support...love it.

    My goal is to be healthier!! Yea it's been said before I'm sure but I want to feel that way again and to look that way and live that way. I felt that way years ago when I was in college and joined a gym and worked off my college stress and the pounds melted off...but I have been living with this excess weight for 20+ years now and I am tired of it. So exercise and watching what I eat will be my focus. I know I will fall down at times and that is where I have thrown in the towel before...NOT this time. I will dust off, regroup, come here for support and NEVER give up.

    I am a carb addict and am free from that now...I only eat carbs once a day and I feel so much better already and my cravings are gone!! So ya'll thanks for this site and for your wisdom, wealth of knowledge and most of all for the love & support that you can feel on this site with each post. I vow to come back, follow through and commit to post my successes, struggles, triumphs, fears and victories as I begin this journey to a new, healthier me. I end 2010 with the promise of a new beginning and embrace what the next year has in store for me.

  • Welcome and Good luck Beth!!

    I am fairly new as well-started in Oct. -also doing low carb. Most days I'm not overly hungry -but today being stuck home because of a bad winter storm - I CRAVE chocolate,etc. The good news is I won't give into it because I get so much support and inspiration here and check in whenever I feel weak. I especially love the motto I read here that "Quitting is not an option" -it keeps me on the straight and narrow - hope it helps you as well. Keep us posted with your progress -L.
