Just wanted to say my hello Great job on ditching the crap

You're in good hands ... the secret society of women who know what the heck we're talking about.

Just wanted to say hey. I joined this week as well. These ladies are great! They are knowledgable, consistent, and supportive. I'm glad I found people who know what they're talking about.

In my own weight loss journey- I found that DIET IS KEY. I also found that it's expensive to eat right! But you'll see and feel the results, I promise you. In just two or three weeks, you'll have more energy, clearer skin, better sleep, etc.

Don't forget your water intake. Drink as much as you can. I pee more than the pregnant lady in the office.

I found it was more expensive to eat right than it is to grab that bag of chips! I think thats one of the main reasons I got to where I am today. Hubby and I have been very lucky in the past year that we both received better paying jobs (doubled our income) and now we can afford to eat healthier. Wasn't very easy when you made a combined income of $16 hr with mortgage pmts and bills.

I'm all about convenience, so if you ever want recommendations or tips, give me a shout!!

Is Hubby also making the move to a healthy lifestyle along w/you?

Thanks Yes he has been working out with me and I pack his lunch everyday so he's not getting any more sweets in there He's also been enjoying the dinners. I've cooked more in the last week than I did in the month before since I've been following the recipe forums.

While I do enjoy eating out, my boyfriend and I have turned into quite good cooks! The recipes posted here are great, and they really allow you to control what you're putting into your body.

What are you doing for desserts and/or something sweet?

Good luck!

If I need something sweet I will eat a Philadelphia Snack bar. Not that great but its better than those box of chocolate covered cherries I got for Xmas from a friend. I still haven't open the box yet, now thats some control I never knew I had!
