Welcome Tan & Kaz!!! So nice of you to join us Looks like we have a nice group starting up here. I hope that we can keep this thread alive and motivate each other to reach those goals that we want!!

Tan - The first week or so is real hard when you cut back on your eating but your body will get used to it fairly quickly. I not sure of any of the WW food but is there anything that you can munch on that is relatively low in points to help you get through the hungry stages?? I'll have a tin of tuna or a couple of rice cakes, vita-weat etc if I get a bit peckish. Exercise is sometimes hard, but start off easy and you will start to enjoy it and it will get easier and more fun!

Kaz - If you think the MIL is not going to help with your weight loss journey then wait until she is gone!! The last thing that you need is someone to be bringing you down and getting you off trach (I'm an emotional eater so I know how much it can effect you). You want to be 100% focused on your goal, especially when you start the diet. The first few weeks are the most important!! So use the next week to slowly cut down all the bad things out of your diet BUT you have to make sure that you do join and not keep just putting it off!!
