Hello Penni- I am new to the site and loving it. Hey-join us at the Bandster Olympic thread-it's a great encouragment!

Joyce, how much weight have you lost so far? Are you getting your protein (preferrably w/ good food choices) in daily? You need 60 grams a day. Are you eating protein first, then vegetables, then if room left -fruits, carbs.? Moist meats are going to give you a sense of "fullness" much longer than liquid proteins. Are you drinking your water quota daily (but not w/ meals)? Do you need a fill? Are you having any problem eating (pbing)? Try to find some form of exercise that you enjoy and do it regularly. Come here and "talk" w/ people who really understand how you're feeling. Best of luck to you!
