Good Morning, Please don't take my comments wrong, I was not being critical...it is your journey and you can say what ever you want...

I understand that you have made a choice and you are asking a lot of yourself to change eating habits as well as give up alcohol. I commend you for this choice, and I truly do wish you well on this journey. I think as Janet has said, if you take your time, look around this site, you will find tons of support and valuable info. Because we don't know your stats, and that id fine, I always said, I don't care if you have 20 pounds or 200 pounds to lose, it all went on the same way, and it will come off the same way...one pound at a time. This is not a race, it is a learning experience, it is a change to a new lifestyle, one day at a time. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was being critical.....Best of Luck to you

Have a positive day, ttyl
