I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just signed up in the forum, and I'm looking forward to chatting with y'all. I have just started a new diet (yet again), and I'm looking for a little extra support. It looks like you have a really nice group here, and I'm hoping to join in.

The rationale behind my new diet is eating less of the bad stuff. Mind you, I'm not eating more of the healthy stuff (yet--I plan to work on that), and I'm exercising. Exercise is a tough one for me, but I'm sure none of you know what I'm talking about

Anyway, hello and thanks for letting me post.

Jana

Hey Jana, welcome...so what kind of diet are you on now? low carb, atkins? Just eat healthy? You'll get a TON of support here if you need, or just enough when you feel like you're being crowded. Hope you lose what you're expecting!

I'm just counting calories. I've been able to cut out quite a few calories (about 750 per day) with out sacrificinig too much/going hungry. I'm still eating plenty--1600 to 1800 calories per day. My main problem was that I was just waaaaay overeating. I've also started exercising, and I calculate that I'm burning another 200 calories per day there.

My doctor told me that I just HAD to lose some weight (and he is, of course, right), but he didn't think that I could do it by myself, and suggested I join some kind of group. Having some support always makes it easier.

Well then this is the best kind of support. I think that it always help to have someone or people to help you along your path. God knows i would have lost my weight alot faster if i had some support.

Sooo..any urges yet, or are you hanging in there?

I'm hanging in there pretty well. But, then, my diet isn't too strict, so when I have an urge, I just make it fit into my plan. That, and I have been doing this for less than a week

there isn't much advice i can give except to stay AWAY from fats and oils. its EXTREMELY hard for your body to break them down...so they are stored immediatly...as fat. polyunsaturated fats aren't QUITE as bad, but that doesn't mean they're ok. saturated fats are the worst...i hope that helps a little
