Hi everybody!
I'm pretty new to Diet. I am 34 years old and I joined the group New year, healthier you because this 2010 is really being my weight-loss year. I've been struggling with my extra weight since I was a teenager but in the last few years I gained more than 30 pounds because of my unhealthy eating habits. Well, I felt horrible, so three months ago I decided it was time I did something to get rid of all that extra weight.
I had never gone on a diet before and I did not want to starve myself or skip my meals. I strongly believe that the real key to weight-loss is making a lifelong change in your eating habits, learning balanced nutrition and put it into practice every single day of your life, not just for a limited period of time! That's why I chose a mediterranean diet (Italiandiet, a plan I found on the web). It's a complete set of eating habits, rich in grains, fruits and vegetables and providing your body with a balanced intake of all the nutrients you need. No foods are off limits, you just learn how to combine them in a healthy mix. I've lost 20 pounds so far, I still have 10 pounds to get rid of and I'm afraid they will be the most difficult ones, so I am here looking for support and encouragement in my last few steps toward a BETTER ME! :-)
I also hope that my story and achievement may help all of you find the right approach to losing weight, not to get discouraged and keep up your good work!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
