Hi!! Just wanted to introduce myself I feel that if I tell more people that I am starting this then it will be harder to cheat or give up... at least i hope!! I have a 16 month baby boy and that is why I am wanting to lose this weight!! I have never been into dieting or excercising but am ready to give it 110% now. I have a friend who is doing LA weight loss and has been very successful and this reminds me of it completely only $7/wk cheaper! I have been thinking about it for the past couple months and decided when better to start than the new year so here I am and tomorrow will be my first day. I think my biggest challenge will be portion control It's hard to see what they say is a serving and what I have been serving myself for a long time! However I am very excited to see so much on this site with the message boards and such so there are other people doing the same thing! If anybody has any tips, advice, or words of encouragment PLEASE leave them... I can use all that I can get!
