It is wonderful that you decided to take that first step. I once weighed 324, so I know what it is like.

A lot of people start dieting and give up before reaching their target weight. Much fewer people finish dieting by getting to normal weight. Even fewer people manage to maintain. Now what is easier now? Starting something or getting it done? i 223/176/180 > A lot of people start dieting and give up before reaching their target > weight.

Depends on the personality of the person involved :) Dan outstanding. Your body will surely thank you! and if you eat right and do a little bit of exercise, in a few weeks you may start feeling better already.

How tall are you? im 6'2 and large strong build, partly due to my job of doing a lot of lifting and moving of things since starting this week ive mostly done ok, i havent done as well as i wanted this week but this week has been much better than any previous week ... ive added eating fruit instead of chocolate and crisps for my lunch and tried to cut back on take out food ... ive started eating breakfast which i used to skip, 3 shredded wheat with some splenda for sweetness and semi skimmed milk instead of full fat a start .. > > outstanding.

It's those little changes we make that soon result in the habits we need to lose and maintain our weight loss. None of us are perfect so don't worry about the occasional slip. The most important thing we can do is put it behind us and start again. Take out food can be a problem but with wise choices you can work it into your diet. I'm not one who can stick to one of the brand name diets so I've learned to make the best food choices for my particular lifestyle and it seems to suit me fine. I'm sure you'll be able to do the same for yourself. Beverly Agreed Beverly Making a conscious effort to change our eating habits and exercise habits is the best way to start and to keep going at this lifestyle change everyday. Nev, you didn't mention water? I suggest as much water intake as you can manage in a day each and every day.

Crystal Light is another of my favorites. I really like some of their flavored teas. If you've never been a water drinker it will take time to become accustomed to the taste. Over time you might even learn to like it :) Keep a bottle of water handy at work and home. You'll be surprised how much water you'll drink by just taking small sips. > i dont like to drink water on its own from tap or bottle, most of my > fluid intake is diet soft drinks like pepsi max, diet coke and some [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > - but i think id find it difficult to do and things are tuff enough > already There was a thread on tea a while back. I looked up green tea on the internet. Apparently, if you were to believe everything written, it prevents cancer, lowers blood sugar, increases metabolism, kills the flu virus, prevents cavities and establishes world peace. Obviously, I am skeptical of the myriad of claims. However, no one has ever once boasted about the antioxidant qualities in diet pepsi....... What I have been doing each evening is boiling two quarts of water. I take it off the stove and steep 3 Lipton green tea bags (190 mg antioxidants ea.) and two of either the mixed berry or mint. It makes for a weak tea which I like with just a hint of flavor. If it does even half of what it says, I may live to be 900 yrs old. j > > i dont like to drink water on its own from tap or bottle, most of my > > fluid intake is diet soft drinks like pepsi max, diet coke and some [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > j Will it prevent wrinkles :) You may need that benefit if you plan on living that long<G> I've read many of the articles on green tea and have to admit it's probably a much better choice than some of the other low-cal liquids I consume. Good for you, making the decision to start is a great step forward. Healthy eating and exercise is definately a great way to loose the weight. I started dieting about 5 weeks ago now, I'm seeing big differences. Stick to it, post to the group - these people are great!
