Welcome Kelli! 

I'm new here too...I've just about completed day three without hunger or cravings.  I do think that I'm detoxing a bit though, as I woke up with a bit of a sore throat that hung around all day.  I know that it'll pass if I keep doing what I'm doing.  I'm grateful for all the friendly folks here and all their inspiration and support. 

Enjoy the forums!  You can do it!  :D

Hi Kelli!  Welcome to the forum!!   I've lost my first 100, so I KNOW that fts works!  I started at 376, and I am at 270 now.  I have my goal set for 176, but just planning to keep losing until it feels right.   ;D   You have come to the right place, and we are all in this together.   It's going to be a GREAT year!!  So glad you are here!!  ;D

I've never heard of a sore throat being a detox side effect  :-\ maybe something else is going on?

Whats great about the site is the support. Same people normally checking in/stopping by and showing support. I have been on other sites were you check in, meet a few and might not here from them until

Hi Everyone..

My 2nd day is coming to a close, today i have been a little more hungry then yesterday.  Could be because I'm not snacking all day on chips and crackers.  LOL  Had Flax seed pancakes this morning. Not my fav but I will try them again.  Hoping to feel a little better tomorrow. ;D
