Hi...new to the site and just getting started. Also have 100+ to loose and could use a little support. Keep in touch if you are interested.

You have started on the journey to a healthier and happier you. You may find it easier if you concentrate on smaller steps. Say, loosing the first 10 lbs. or going down a pant size. Whatever you do, don't starve yourself. Try eliminating all soda and sweet drinks. Instead of using artificial sweetener, use stevia or truvia. They come in single serve packets or liquid. Just don't use too much or you will get an after taste. Don't think about all the stuff you shouldn't eat and concentrate on the stuff you can eat. Try new things and different ways to prepare them. Look at it as an adventure in eating. Keep the workouts mild so you don't injury yourself. I found water aerobics was a real help. And a good instructor will be able to adjust any exercise for your past injuries. Switch from coffee to no caffeine herbal tea. These are just a few of the things that worked for me. Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work.

Thank you! Your input is inspirational! I LOVE FitClick so far, and i've tried a million of these things. I'm an analyzer too -- and your suggestion is great. I also appreciate your reminder about feeling better. That's what started this for me in the first place! Good luck to you - we WILL make it.

Hi, Just wanted to let you know there are others out here who have a long ways to go. I believe for me at least that fitclick is helping immensely. I found that it has worked to focus on one thing at a time. My progress has been slow, going on a month now. Just keep it up if your into analyzing things like me, see when your bad days are. I just averaged all my calorie intake for the last month and it averaged out to 1,600, so maybe more working out and up the cals to 1,600 so that I don't feel hungry. Stick with it, it isn't just about losing the weight it is also about feeling stronger and healthier.

Thank you fir the support!

You go girl!! One day at a time. Heck, sometimes one minute at a time Whatever works. But be gentle with yourself. So oten we are our own worst enemies!!
