New Here...Day 24

[TMFris]

I've been lurking here for about a month, and decided to tell you all what an encouragement you have been!

DH and I need to lose 100 lbs each. YIKES! We started 24 days ago with the 12 day challenge, and we are both amazed at how much better we feel! I no longer have a daily headache and heartburn, DH says he feels energized at work and no longer has foot pain from standing all day.

As of yesterday, I have lost 9 lbs and DH lost 10 lbs. This is the first "diet" I have ever been on where I dont feel hungry all the time, and I dont have cravings for bad foods.

Anyway, thats our story, I just wanted to say I have learned SO much from reading through the posts on this board. Thanks!

Welcome, Tara!
It sounds like you and your DH have gotten off to a great start. We're glad to have you here.

Don't worry about how much you need to lose. It will come off in time. It helps to focus on getting healthy instead.

I hope you'll join us on Roberta's Corner too, and post your daily menus and exercise on "What's Cookin' & Who's Movin'."

I wish you much success on your new food journey together. It really helps that you two are doing this together.

Welcome Tara and husband. I'm new too - I started on Feb 14th, so this would be 23 days for me. I'm loving it so far, and always feel very full. I'm also learning a lot from reading the boards, and also from posting a few questions and comments. I hope to see you here for a long time to come! Take care, Laura
