Good for you Liliann. You have a plan and are motivated.
Food shopping is a good place to start and also more movement sound great.
I also cut down on sweets. My weakness is ice cream, but I am still working on portion control.
I also like the old fashioned scales, like the one at my doctor's office. My grocery store also has a nice one.
Heres to a great week and one day at a time we will meet our goals.

Moving ahead, staying strong!!
It's a little over 6 weeks until Thanksgiving so plenty of time for us all to lose some pounds before the big feast day lol.
I'm still doing calorie counting and finding my way as I go along.
This new cold weather is steering me away from the smoothies and has me reaching towards the soups instead but there are many types of "light" soups so I'll be keeping my cals in check!
Hope everyone is staying strong as well!

Good job Liliann! I am focusing on portion control. I am eating less and seeing results at the scale. Still struggling with the exercise though.

How are things going Lilian? I hope you are staying strong!!

Hi all.. :)

Great Job!! Stay Strong

Well, I am new to this site, looked around for a few days and wld like to take part here. I am morbidly obese, I took off 160 lbs, then proceeded to eat sugar again. I have regained 40 lbs. This week I started again on my program, the first thing I did was to start counting my carbs and proteins, but for now more concerned about carbs. Once they are out of my system I am more able to make other changes. I wld like to take off a further l00 lbs but will be happy to lose the 40 I regained plus another 20. I have been overweight all my life but losing that initial weight has changed my life for the better and I will not go back to that ugly ugly place. My plan is small steps, reintroducing good habits back into my life. So that's it folks, may we all have the strength to make the right decisions - one day at a time.

Welcome, glad you found us! This group is quiet sometimes but some of us check in for posts almost daily so don't shy away!
Sounds like you have a good plan in place, congrats on the success you have had! Keep going, you can do it!

Thank you Kathy,
