Hi,

New to this site, in fact new to any weight loss support site. I have been battling with my addiction to sugar for what seems to be all my life. Most of what else I eat falls under the 'healthy' label as I've been coeliax (allergic to wheat & gluten) for the last 8 years so therefore don't eat anything processed or ready made. BUT as I don't take much exercise the weight has just grown and grown over the years. Living as an expat in Hong Kong, from the UK. And 'Curves' has just opened - I joined 2 weeks ago and have gone every other day since. I'm hoping that by jumping onto this site I'll get the encouragment to keep on going. And today I woke up and decided that it would be my first non sugar day (ever perhaps) its 10.20pm, I have a raging headache and thirst but I didn't give into temptation, not even for a tictac.

Thanks guys, well I have to say that I LOVE the whole Food/Exercise tracking tools. Spent far too long playing with that last night instead of going to bed. But I got through my first sugar free day (a huge thing for me) in one piece and this morning my sugar craving headache has dulled to a low roar. Right, its time for me to jump into some clothes and hit \'Curves\'. Crikey I might even walk there briskly!

that sounds like a great idea Libby! and congrats on your first sugar-free day! that\'s deffinately a hard habit to break but Curves should help you sweat it out.
We\'re with you girl!!
