Hello Ebutterfly and Welcome to FT.com. I, like you have only just started this program and I feel as excited about it as you. Firstly if you haven’t done it already fill in your personal profile so the site can help you to do its thing by telling you what to do & when to do it.

Secondly, and this may sound odd but it will help you in times of need. Take a picture of yourself before you start. Then when you are feeling a little low or are feeling like you are getting nowhere, take a look and see for yourself. You could also take a tape measure on your waist, arms and all other places to check for yourself how many inches you have lost. However don’t check daily. Maximum do it weekly, for best results once a month is best.

Although this program is new to me, I have done other programs that got me to where I am now and these are some of the principles I still use. YEP even for a guy! :o)

All the best

Warmly
