This is my intro post

Hey all! So, I bit the bullet and stepped on the scale. 242.2.
YIPES! Too much for 5 foot 7!

I want to meet other people who are trucking through their lives and
trying to make changes for the better. I have tried a variety of
weight loss programs etc., but with minimal success.

I am opting for a 1 change at a time approach. I have introduced more
water and less coffee into my day, and now I am I trying to eat more
fruit and veggies.

I started a blog. I would love to get some readers, but it is mainly
so I can write my successes and challenges. It feels more official to
me, because other people can see it. I can lie to a diary, but a blog
keeps me a little more honest.

Have a great day everyone!

Have a great day everyone!

I like your blog. You are where I was a year ago---I've lost 90 pounds this
last year. Like you, I started out walking--but have added other activities
as the year went on and my weight went down. So I *know* you can do this!
I look forward to following your progress!

I hear it! I'm 5'7" too, and as you can see, similar weight.

I've lost weight successfully before, but I have trouble keeping it
off. This time I'm opting for a slower approach. Lately though, it's
been more of a maintaining thing and I need to change that and get
back to my one pound or so a week.

Excellent start! I too drink more water now, and have really upped the
amound of lean protein and veggies I eat. I still leave fruit at 2-3
servings a day.

Good idea! I record my progress in software, I doubt I'd keep up with
a blog, I just get too busy.

Anyway, keep making good changes and don't forget to add in some
exercise.
