NEWBIE

Hi,

I'm tricia. I live in the US near Boston. I am 52. I will be 53 in December. I signed into this site awhile ago but never did anything but i kept getting emails which i would sometimes read. I am going to make a commitment to come to this website frequently, read up on all the info, get familiar with the abbreviations etc. I desperately desire to lose weight but am not doing all the things one needs to do to lose the weight. I quit smoking last august and drinking three weeks later, yeah for me but i let the food take the place of some of the cravings for both and now have very unhealthy food habits. Honestly i was never that good at healthy eating but things got worse. Thanks for being here and thanks for listening. I am going to go to the sunday weigh in and do that.

Hello and welcome

If you follow the links that moreless has given you on the weigh in, you'll soon find your way around.

Have you decided on an eating plan? This is a straightforward one that you could adapt to your own tastes phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

Congratulations on quitting smoking and drinking! That’s a fantastic achievement and do take time to celebrate and congratulate yourself! I really enjoyed the LCHF style of eating because it does not feel like you are denying yourself too much, And I’ve found a lot of carbs make me crave sugar ( and sometimes alcohol!). It sounds like you are doing a lot to get yourself healthy. Enjoy!

Morning Tricia and welcome 😀

Well done on quitting smoking and drinking, I'm an ex-smoker and know exactly what you mean about replacing the cravings with food

Have a look around and see what plans are available, don't be afraid to ask if you want more info. Also maybe join the daily diaries, I can't start my day without them 😀

Looking forward to seeing you here more often and all the best
