Losing weight is a great health benefit, but just as important is a healthy diet.  I learned a lot about nutrition from The China Study and Skinny *bleep*.
Both show the huge importance of what you eat, primarily fruits and vegetables.  Worth the reads if you are wanting a jump start!  Good luck!!

It also help to go out and walk for at least 30 minutes 3-4 days out of the week. I need lose about 5 pounds right now but I know I can do it and we all can do it. We just have to take it one day at a time. The hardest part for me is starting it but I know once I do it'll get easier.

I would suggest sparkpeople as a free resource for health/fitness information

I have committed to losing weight and getting more physically fit in 2012 and I have am putting together a physical fitness challenge that will compel people at work to push themselves harder!  Watching my diet, preparing food in advance, creating six smaller meals per day and excercise at leat four times per week are in my plan and I want to compete in an ultra-marathon before September.  I have been sidelined with an injury for the last fifteen months and am hoping that the doctors allow me to start pushing myself!

First, I am so sorry for your losses. And how cool that you are motivating yourself to make a difference in your own life.  What a great idea and good for you for using this venue to get people together. This is perfect. A support system and a way of making money combined. Love your idea and you can count me in! I would love to hear more about the "Food Lovers Diet" you mentioned in your post.

I made up my mind! Actually I'm starting out slowly right now...I made a decision to get healthy in 2012.  I have 100 pounds to lose and I'm starting the food lovers fat loss plan and doing some things on my own.  I want to give you all my updates on a daily basis if thats ok.  Anyone care to join me?  I want to do this for the whole year because we could all stand to become more healthy and eat the right foods to avoid getting diabetes, heart disease and other sickness.  Both my parents died of diabetes and heart disease and my sister died of heart disease and this was in the 2009/2010 timeframe!  This is very personal to me. SO LETS GET HEALTHY TOGETHER AND FILL ME IN ON YOUR DAILY PROGRESS/WEIGHT LOSS...ETC!

Count me in too.  I am on four blood pressure pills a day and want off of them.  Both my parents had diabetes. My mom has since passed away
from problems caused by a low thyroid.  But my dad was able to lose all excess weight and get off his blood pressure and diabetes medications and still is off today.  I would like to lose 60 lbs.

I started doing something at the first of the year which is really working for me with weight loss and it's easy.  I require myself to drink a glass of water before I eat anything. I won't even start preparing the food until I drink the water. That way if I want a snack I get the water in there first and I am finding it gives me plenty of time to think about what I am going to eat. I have changed my choices a few times just because of the extra time to think. PLUS I am getting lots of water in my system which is keeping me well hydrated and I am constantly flushing sodium, extra. It's working well for me so wanted to share it. Hope everyone is doing well!

I just had my surgery on the 6th so in 6 weeks I will be ready to go. Then I will be in everything with you. How have you been doing by the way?
