Wow ... what a wonderful warm welcome from all of you.  I am so touched and anxious to get going (book arrives tomorrow - yea!).   Perfect timing because it will give me time to read the book, figure out recipes I want to make, and go to the store on Saturday (live in a rural area, so the grocery store is 5-1/2 miles away - not a daily trip I tend to make).

Thanks again and can't wait to get going.  I'm not under any illusion that at least initially it will take some determination to get into the good eating habit, but as you all have shown, it absolutely CAN be done, and I'm definitely looking at a permanent change.  Love the videos that I've seen so far - I can see they will be very helpful.

Here's to success in all things!

I know what you mean about rural! I live in Murphy, NC, a mountain town in the farthest west point of NC where Ga/NC/Tn all meet. I am about 10 miles from the grocery store. I have to plan ahead, too. You can do it! Welcome to the FTS family, by the way, and welcome to your new healthy lifestyle! : )

guess what???????
    a little over 2 weeks since i renewed my commitment to more exercise and i just moved my little ticker guy back 2 more lbs:)
    how sweet is that????
      Doug i am contemplating getting back into the "weight losing" mode...maybe try to hit 180....or just try to hit that 32" waistline you keep bragging about:) i dunno.....maintaining is not as fun as losing:(
   it was always cool to see the lbs coming off.... not quite the same just watching them stay the same,i was really happy to see 2 lbs go away....oh well I'm outta here:) i am off work today. and i am headed out to go shopping for my "SPEEDO" our Florida vacation is not too far off,and i want to look good!!!!!! LOL

Although maintaining weight may not be as much fun as losing, it's a fantastic place to be.  :)
I'm so happy for you Gary!  :) :) :)

Having a new goal of size 32 is great!
Once you reach it, think about this... You will never have to step on a scale again (except at your doc's office maybe)!

From that point forward, you will be able to use your clothes to tell you if your putting on weight.
And based on what they "tell" you, you can make adjustments in what you eat and your exercise until they fit comfortably again.

Freedom from FAT!... Freedom from the scale!... I can't think of anything more liberating that that!!!
What you do today is what matters!
