According to the charts I have 100lb to lose. I'd like to be about 160-165. Of course if I ever get down that far I may want to go lower who knows. My goal for right now is to lose 25 lbs (10%) and go from there. I'm trying to find support and motivation. I struggle with cooking, I suck at it, and there are few veggies that don't make me gag. Though I love salad and will try to eat lots more of that.

Thanks for listening. Looking forward to this journey I'm starting today. :-)

I would love to give you ideas for cooking. That's my hobby and my strong suit. I am not a big veggie person either. What kinds of things do you like? I have a group on Facebook that I just restarted last week too.

I have 100 pounds to lose. This is how I see it. If I weren't doing my best to journal and eat better and exercise, in one year, I would be the same weight or more. When you are not doing good for yourself, a year goes really fast and I look back at years of promises and journals and say, how could that have been 17 years ago, 3 years ago, 1 year ago? It seems like yesterday. My 44th bday is only 10 months away. Seems like a long time now but it's not. In a sneeze and a Snicker's bar, we will be there again. But will we be healthier or worse off? It's up to us. It's not a race, it's a private victory, whenever we get there. People will see us smaller but only we will know what it really means to us. Don't think of it as a daunting task. Everyday you are changing and getting better even if only by an ounce. It takes ounces to make pounds. This is a total change, not just on the scale, but inside ourselves, our emotions, which has gotten us to where we are. Food is a temporary fix to emotional issues. And it does more damage in the end. So think of this journey as a total soul healing. For me, this journey means putting myself first instead of taking so much care of others. It means doing my workout before tending to other cares that I have and fixing my OWN food when others eat things that my body would not appreciate. It means saying NO to others and YES to me. So listen, what's a year or two? It can be amazing or just more of the same. We are here for you and each other. Friend me.

My husband is the cook in our house. I can follow a recipe fabulously. I just can't freestyle it. Lol
