DevilBlueDress 189 Posted November 23, 2013 Hi Betsy, Welcome to these forums and your journey! I had a similar experience and I used the time to make a change each month so all the lifestyle changes weren't so abrupt. First one, log what you eat and drink. I use MyFinessPal, but there are many apps and websites that do this. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
