Hi, LaTaisha. Well, you asked for advice - I recommend you read DANDR front to back, take notes, make a menu, shop accordingly, keep treats and illegal foods out of the house as much as possible, drink lots of water (minimum 64 oz a day, in addition to tea, coffee, soda), exercise regularly, start a journal, and keep coming back.

You're young, you should lose at a good rate if you stick to your plan.

Welcome, BTW!

thank you queenmama..... im gonna pull that book off the shelf and get to reading thank you sooo much....

Here is my experience with the second or third time: Folks tend to cheat because you feel you "know what you are doing"! So don't fall for it. Perform a strict induction to get you back on plan for 2 weeks.
