For my age I feel scared and uneasy about what my weight should be, and I'm scared to find out. Since I now introduced myself, hopefully I will recieve tips or comments. Anyway on a brighter note I'm glad I found this site and my diet/exercise starts tomorrow may 1, so hopefully I can succeed in my journey. Don't be strangers everyone. I want to get all the help I can so feel free to give advice.

Two particular threads to read there would be "grocery list for helthy eating", and "diet thread". Sitting down and going over what you eat daily would be a good starting place. Cut out all junk, fast food, soda, candy, fried foods and replace them with some healthy alternatives. From there, find your maintenance calories and start losing weight. The search feature at the bottom of the page will get you plenty of results on most basic questions, most have been discussed in detail already, it will give you the most relevant threads. Feel free to post your questions in the appropriate forum though if need be. Best of luck on your goals and welcome to FT! -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.

I do have a question that I need to be answered and you seem very professional so here it goes. If or when you losed weight, I'm sure you had cravings, by ignoring the cravings of junk how long did it take to lose all interest in junkfoods? Thanks again and I hope to here your reply.

I usually have no desire to eat chips and stuff like that anymore. One of the keys is to make sure there are healthier choices around and not chips and candy. And Big Macs just don't taste as good anymore... hehe... t -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now. Faith. Believe. You. - Keith Urban

Try to not have any junk food around. I also think it depends on how much you'll get into fitness. If you're really working hard and you like how it makes you feel, you will not want to ruin it with a few moments of pleasure (junk food):) -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy

MannyMaster Posts: 515 Joined: 2006/02/01	2006/05/01, 11:14 PM Don't give into temptation and try and keep busy. I like to snack when watching TV, so when I get a craving and I don't have a healthy snack alternative, I get up and clean something to get my mind of of snacking. Drinking water when you feel hungry can help also. Give it a try and see what works for you.

By the way is it true only fruit is good such as apples rather than 100% apple juice with no sugar added?:cool: -------------- \\\"it ain\\\'t easy\\\" -Tupac Shakur
