New with 100+ to Lose

[Aderyn]

When I first started, I just kept thinking "anything is better than nothing." Even 10 pounds would at least make the clothes I was wearing more comfortable, even if it wasn't noticeable to others.

Then, I discovered how much better I felt when I ate LC, and that became a big reason for doing it. As Rob said, it started to become a way of life instead of just a way of eating.

I've now lost (drum roll, please) 73 pounds, and it definitely *is* noticeable to others. I still have a long way to go, but I sure am glad I took that first step down the path!

Very good advice in this forum.

For me, with this way of eating, way of life, i learn to cooking LC. And it's so delicious, that i don't feel on diet.

Since i beginning, my daughter call me Bob, cause i doing like Bob in the movie 'What about Bob?' when he go to eat with the doctor's family.

Good LC

Hi there...I'm brand new here too, with that much to lose too, and I wanted to introduce myself to everyone... I'm Deborah... ....anyway....I REFUSE to think of the TOTAL (much) that I want to lose, and try to stay focused on the first goal, which is to get to where I was when I got married three years ago--which is about 20 more pounds....that helps me a lot.

Mostly, although the reality is I need to (and am going to) lose 100 plus pounds... to think too much about it makes it overwhelming.

I just really have to stay focused on today. because today is all I really have!!

good luck to you and everyone else...this is a wonderful board, and I look forward to posting more and going through the journey with you all. you seem like a great bunch of people.

plus, my mother may be joining us here too...she too is doing this WOE and she started ME back on it!

best regards,
deborah
