Hi,

I have just started on a healthy eating program. I am taking a bit from Weight Watchers and a bit from the Strong Women Stay Slim program. But generally trying to increase my fresh fruit and veg and whole grains and reduce pre packaged, refined stuff. I am also trying to increase my activity levels too. I don't believe that I have to cut out foods completely, but I do need to be sensible about it.

So far after a week I have lost roughly half a kilo, but with lots of cheating :) I've never really been able to stick to a "diet" as such, but this time I am changing my habits slowly. Surprise, I do actually feel better when I eat better, I noticed the difference on the day that I had McDonalds and Burger King, I felt crappy.

I am also rediscovering foods that I haven't eaten in a long time, and I am enjoying them. I had an orange today for the first time in ages, and I loved it!

Anyway I'm glad that I found this site, thanks for having me
 
Just want to say g'day and welcome to the forum :)
 
Welcome Susansmum!!!

Sounds like you are off to a great start!!! I cannot stay on any "diet" and prepare what they want me to eat (South Beach, Atkins etc) So I did what you are doing. Just trying to make better choices and cutting out all junk food. And I started to drink 3 liters of water/day. That seems to really help out.

Have you started a weight loss diary? I did, and I can not even tell you in words how much the support and encouragement I have gotten from everyone has helped me.

Look forward to hearing more from you :)

Maew
