Welcome to the board lbarite!

You made it here! Great job! You will see how much support and guidance you will receive!

Additionally, you can post what you eat (by starting a new thread again) in the Review My Menu forum. People will chime in to let you know if you should be eating more, or less of something.

Also, you can start a Journal Chat thread for yourself when you're comfortable. That's a great forum for lots of daily chat, fun and support! Finally, there is a women's forum for women only issues.

So now, what's your plan? How much would you like to lose, what kind of exercise will you try?
