Just celebrated 7months of my self proclaimed " Commit to be Fit " program. Feeling so much better.
Keep focused on your goals.
p.s. Be good to your body, it's the only place you have to live.View Thread

Try to read a lot of the great articles and tips found here on WebMD. Also, from my experience, those cravings to eat came on when I was idle (can be described as grazing behaviour). I found just doing something for a couple of minutes would help those feelings pass. Get up sweep the floor, clean something, arrange your books.
Don't despair, after a couple of weeks you'll notice a change.
I joke with my friends that this journey is like being "born again". But really, you have wake up everyday and reminder yourself of your goal ("pray"). Educate yourself with the words of the wise (WebMD will become your bible). Spread the word of the diet. Tell people you are dieting and tell them your goal.. this helps hold you accountable. You'll feel so proud when after 2 wks and then 2 months, people tell you "you look like you lost some weight! You'll then be able to share your knowledge with others and encourage them.
Good luck!!!!View Thread

6 months down this road I've reached my goal. Find some way to keep committed to your goal. The prize is worth it!
Still using WebMD daily to log food/exercise during my maintenance stage.

Favourite new food......Greek yogurt
Favourite new feeling - having to tighten my belt where wearing pants that I had not worn is many months.
Worst feeling....my daily apple is have some unpleasant room clearing side effects, if you know what I mean.
