Newbie in Michigan
 

Hello,

I'm Shelly and I live in Michigan. I've actually joined two days ago and just realized there was a forum. I'm 5'6" and weigh 213 lbs. and feel horrible. I've been trying to eat healthier with fruits and vegetables and more fish like three times a week. Over the past year I've tried here and there to lose with just eating different but I think I need to exercise while eating healthier. I'm trying not to consider this a diet, because I think I've finally figured out that I need to change the way in which I eat for life. It is so hard to stick with it, but I think I'm in a totally different world right now with it. If anyone else would like to chat or encourage one another feel free to post back to me. And good luck to everyone.:D

Hi fellow Michigander :D

I just found this site also on Sunday. I tell you it has been making me realize in these first few days what i put in my mouth. By using the food diary. as i had been advised from people on here add the good, the bad and the ugly leave nothing out. And as i search the forums alot of good stuff.
Also educating me more or reminding me of what I already know, but didn't put into practice.

use everything you can use on here cause, I think, this for me at least will be the trick. Also having support and being able to share.

good luck and cheering you on!
