Hello everyone

I have been a lurker on here for ages and have stopped and started CAD many times.

I'm about 140 pounds at the moment and just under 5'4 so not 'over weight' in fact I fit into a US size 4-6 but I have always felt more comfortable around
128-130 pounds but have been telling myself I guess - oh I'm not too bad its ok

Saw some photos of myself yesterday from over Christmas and while I can look at them and know i'm not fat I'm also not the shape I want to be

I've had other battles to deal with lately regarding my alcoholism (which is something I've shared before) so the weight loss thing has taken a back seat

Dealing with that and now I want to give my body the best possible fuel (while still enjoying my food) and get to where I know I want to be and look and feel best

So yes - my aha moment -

Just posting to say hi!

I'm on my 4th day now (working shifts) and love it so far, hope your journey with this goes well!

Yip...my AHA moment came when my wedding photos were delivered. OMG I thought, but it still took me a few months to get my sorry butt back to the CAD way of eating, (and now of course I wish I could relive the day and have new photos taken, or maybe when Ive lost these last nasty resistant 10kgs)
The camera doesn't lie!!!!

Hi Bluebell,

I just wanted to say hi.

I too have stopped and started CAD way too many times. I am still here and holding my head high though. You can get where you want to go. We are here to support you on the way there!

GL to you!

Stopping in to say hi, and to wish you well. I'm chasing you..lol. I prolly should have your current weight as my goal weight, but I'm going to settle for what I set

Thanks all for your replies :-)

Hiya Bluebell
