I was looking on google for some motivation seing before and after pics and telling myself that I coudl do it too hopefully. I figured lets try to make a first step in the right direction and registrer here, I am curently married and with my husband in the military mostly gone, I have added over 100lbs to my original weight, I have alwasy been a bit chuby but with me now getin more closer to 30 ( I 28) i feel like it is time for a change and to get out of the depression and moody times that this weight have been giving me more and more, i am 255lbs ryte now, I have been trying slowly and several time to shed the pounds but it seems like it only been going down and then up, I do not have any notion of what a good diet be and have reduced all the junk food to none but still feels hungry, but it doesnt seem to have made a big difference. I really want to loose the pounds but it feels like almost I have this barrier in front of me not letin me, this is the first time i actually say all this to anybody and thank you for listenign to me:)
 
Hi Spwsgrl,
Welcome to the WLF!

The only barrier you have right now, is lack of information - you're here now, and you can change that :)

I started out about where you are, and for the first 20 pounds or so, the only thing I did was to start cutting the extra crap from my diet. I gave up fast food, quit drinking soda, cut down on portions.

I absolutely did NOT want to count calories. Slowly, I started walking.

These are all little steps that you can take, right now, today toward getting into better shape :)

Eventually I learned that it was necessary for me to count calories - it truly is an issue of energy in vs. energy out and I was surprised to find out how much I was actually eating - even when I thought I was "being good".

Learning to count calories gave me the freedom to add foods into my diet I loved, but with moderation. I can NOT feel deprived, and I know that in order to maintain my weightloss, I would have to learn to deal with food as I would for the rest of my life. Eat what I want, within moderation.

Just know that you CAN lose this weight.

It seems so overwhelming at first, but you know what...it's one pound, one day and one meal at a time.

I'm glad you joined us and I look forward to getting to know you as you head towards your goals.
 
welcome to the site - you've cometo the right place...

you can do whatever you set your mind too - and we're pretty good at supporting and nagging and bugging and tickling and cajoling you to make sure your mind stays set...

Start yourself up a diary and let'sget this party started :)

welcome welcome have fun and enjoy your stay :)
 
Thank you for replying to me so fast already, I will be looking into getin infos about calories and i am looking fowards to get to know u all better , this is a big step for me :)
 
It is a big step - and one you should be VERY proud of :)

You might check out or they are both sites for tracking calories, nutrition and fitness.

Don't error on the side of too few calories, go with the high end if you decide to go that route and just stick with it. Day by day :)
