Introduction Text My name is Melinda and I am here because I need to lose weight, get healthy and stay that way. For most of my life I was thin but in the last few years I have been gaining, gaining, gaining. It is such a shock to see that I am now "obese". I obsess over and it's very depressing. My plan is to turn this around.

I started with SP Jan 5th 2008 weighing 223lbs. I currently (jan 09) weigh 160. My goal is 150. The best things anyone could and SHOULD do to lose weight are: Drink water for thirst - nothing else until it is the only thing that WILL quench your thirst. Get AWAY from the kitchen!!!! Stay away from cookies, cakes ice cream and white bread, but do have treats occaisionally. Move MORE!!!! get a dvr or tivo and pre record all your TV time, so commercial break temptations aren't a factor. When I stopped counting calories, pre planning meals, tracking everything that is when the weight came off. Some people might need that but it was better for me not to. 7 MOST IMPORTANT WORDS OF ADVICE: EAT TO LIVE DON'T LIVE TO EAT!

Counting and tracking my calories. Burning calories - excercising everyday. Getting Educated about healthy living.
