Introduction
So you want to lose weight? Well, most likely you do, or you wouldn't be here on Calorie-Count.com, huh?
This post is meant to be a supplement to The Calorie-Count.com Diet, put together in August as a guide for losing weight slowly and healthfully.  Like that post, this post remains 'not the end-all or be-all of diet guides' but perhaps another piece of the puzzle and is meant to help our members figure out how to get from where they are now to this mythical place called "Maintenance".
Unlike The Calorie-Count.com Diet, this post is SLIGHTLY less general and suggests a basic direction you want to head.  I'm going to give you suggestions, based on my experience and the experience of those I've heard from, on how to start, how to keep going and how to reaffirm your need to lose weight after you've fallen off the wagon.

As with the intial cc diet post, great job.

Now only if we can get these stickied to the top and make people read them before posting hehe.

Amen to that, bigtwinky!

Great job, HK!

Hey, look over there! It's a BUMP! ;D

Good job, Hk!

Bravo!  I was especially touched by "Help Others" and have been trying to do that when I can.  I wan't sure that it mattered so it was good to get confirmation in reading your post.

Great article and I a good remembrance for "those" days.

Thanks HK, really good post, some interesting information...

Maybe bigtwinky could edit his comment though?  Not really a "newbie-friendly" comment and I imagine a lot of newbies will be reading this!!  Thanks ; )

Definitely going to tag this post.

This is very inspirational. It helps that someone actually said its okay to mess up! And I love the quote from St. Francis. Very appropriate! Keep up the great work!
