Hi fallenwingz! Wow! You are doing great already. Welcome to the board, it's a wonderful place to be!

[fallenwingz11]

Wow... you are all so nice!! Thank you for all the advice! I will take it ALL in and use it to make myself a healthier and better person!!

Congratulations on the 10lbs! That's fantastic!

I'm in jersey.. but a lot south of you... There's a 5k at Sandy Beach to raise money to save a lighthouse... It was too far away for me to join, but it would be fun.... Oh, and there's something in Matawan too...

I agree completely with what they said about the exercise challenges, they're fantastic. And starting a Journal really makes me more accountable for things.

[cheers2you]

Congrats on the weight loss! Do you have any exercise equipment, or a gym near by? If not walking is a very effective exercise.

Keep drinking a lot of water and keep an eye on how your clothes fit. I get just as exited to see my jean get baggy as I do to see the scale move.

Take care!
