I wanted to say thanks to everyone for sharing, it is helpful to us. I am 28 year old female, a mom to a wonderful three year old boy, and I am 204 lbs. We moved to Atlanta from Orlando area for a few months or so and I was so out of the way of what I knew, I was up to around 230, I just had enough and a month, maybe more, or so back I decided to start eating healthier. Thank you Holy God! I prayed to God, and my prayers were answered, I found the way to start eating healthier and the willingness. I cut out oily foods, of course fried foods and such, sugared foods such as candies and snacks just for taste, I stopped white bread products such as pasta and white bread and incorporated wheat products. I do allow myself Lean cuisines and Healthy choice meals, but not alot. I already don't eat pork and such. I am happy to read all the posts I read on here, it is very nice to hear the support and truth that everyone shares. I can't wait to lose more weight. I know I need to work out more, I get so tired I think because of cutting out meats for a while, but I just started eating protien bars and morning star foods for such nutrients. We can do it, I know we all can together to move to live healthier lives for us! I am sending good thoughts to you on your journey with health!
