My 3 third day and I find so much encouragement by reading the posts. I agree with the advice of logging what you eat.
I also read the advice of having a accountability partner.
pray for me that I can fiind the right person who needs
the encouragement as much as I do and will encourage me as well.

Great spiritual food for thought here! I’ve been stuck at my current weight for a few years now and have loved to blame it all on “the meds”. I go to Curves For Women 2-3 times per week, and I love http://www.myfooddiary.com for tracking calories! It also tracks nutrition for you – all you do is enter what you’ve eaten and the program does the rests. I haven’t logged in for months but will go there again today and begin logging my food and trying to keep it to 1300-1800 calories per day to lose 1 to 2 lbs. per week. God, help me please.

I’m in. Got a handy little notebook. I am not really great at keeping track of calories but will give it another try since it seems that it will help me focus on what I am eating. My worst time for eating is at night. Especially if I let myself stay up too late. I find that I like to “sneak” to the kitchen for a late night snack when everyone else is sleeping. The old “if no one sees you eat it, it doesn’t really count, does it?” This lack of a good sleeping habit tends to affect all other areas of my life, including healthy eating.

Just getting started with ya’ll today. I’ve been recording what I have eaten for the past month for my doctor to keep tabs on my blood glucose levels, so all I have to do now is check the calories. I never believed that keeping a record would realy work but it definitely has with my sugar levels. It has me aware of the foods that I put into my mouth. Now if I can just watch the amounts and calories, with extra help from all of ya’ll, maybe I can lick this devil (fat). The hardest thing is eating when I’m not hungry. Wish you all luck, sj

All I can say is “wow”! God knows what I need, when I need it! Why that surprises me, I’ll never know….He knew I needed this today! I suffer from many health issues and have been told that I need to lose weight. I always have good intentions, but, alas…I always seem to find a “good” excuse to start “tomorrow”. The hardest time for me is evenings. I’m not hungry but my mouth wants something, anything, usually sugary and that’s not good for a diabetic. Now with someone to be accountable to, many who are in the same situation, I am encouraged! Thanks!

I’m in. Was “skinny” the first 25 years of my life. The second 25 years have yielded about 60 pounds. I am that girl that always ate exatly what she wanted and never gained a pound. Talk about lifestyle change. I need spiritual help as well as accountability. Let’s go girls!

I’m in. So down this morning. I’ve been laid off work for over 4 months now. Thank God for Proverbs 31 Ministries. I’ve battled weight gain my whole life. I was ready to give up all together, until this morning.
