Mimilou2004 13 Posted December 24, 2009 It is a little complicated to put the ticker on, it took me many tries. The best advice I can give you is to use the search button and read the different posts about it. There is a long detailed post that I printed out and followed step by step but I don't know the exact title. Good luck. I am just now realizing how successful I am. It is scary and freaky to be "normal weight". The best advise I can give you is to take it slow and easy and 1-2 pounds a week adds up in a year. Expect setbacks while hoping for none. Try to find someone to exercise with or if you can get a personal trainer a couple of times a week that would be awesome. I credit my trainer and journaling my food and exercise for the fact that I never had a plateau that lasted even a whole week. When you get restriction cutting back on calories will be much easier. Best wishes. Mimi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
