Hi Kathy, I just finished my first week here. I lost 2 lbs, but I had been dieting prior, so 2 is good. I live in So. California. I saw your neck of the woods on the House Hunter show on HGTV. It is so pretty there!! My daughter just started at Dartmouth College in NH so she is getting her first taste of snow. You look amazing, really wonderful! Ler me know how you are doing! xo-Bonnie 4835 days ago

Hi and welcome to SparkPeople and the SP Class of January 6-12, 2008! Start recording everything you eat in the Nutrition Tracker, don‘t worry too much this first week about ‘dieting‘. You'll probably notice that you're getting WAY too much sodium and not enough protein and fiber. If you're an 'emotional eater' record in the Nutrition Tracker notes what 'set you off' to a binge etc. Also if you aren't already, start incorporating at LEAST 8-8 ounce glasses of water every day. Your body requires that as a minimum just to sit in front of the TV all day. For every hour that you sweat you loose a quart of water ... that's FOUR CUPS. So, it's important to hydrate and REhydrate your body throughout the day. Come on by the team and introduce yourself! It’s been BUSY over there. Participation is a great motivator.
