Welcome, Justdoit. I started at 238 (as you can see in my profile) and tomorrow is my 3 month anniversary and I have lost 32 pounds as of this morning. I can't believe how easy this is. I started with Atkins only , but now am watching just low carb. Most of my carbs come from vegetables. I will admit that I treat myself (maybe twice a month) of having a small frosty from Wendy's. I find that when I do that it seems to spike my weight loss... Go figure. I'm not sure if that works for everyone.

You will find a million good ideas on this forum and wonderful, wonderful people that know everything that you need. You just have to ask. Hang in there...keep focused.

This is something that I tell myself when I have something in my hand that I am tempted to eat and need to talk myself out of it...."Once past the lips, forever on the hips!!)

Good luck...I know you can do it!
