You're going to find...the hardest part is getting started. Once you get started, and feel the weight, and then SEE the weight dropping off its easier to stay motivated. The most important thing is to be honest to yourself, journal/weigh/.measure everything you eat. If you go over, you go over..but measure AND record it. Some friends will be accepting, some won't...make sure you concentrate on the ones that are supportive.

If you need to reach out for help, remember to make your journal public so others can see and offer advice.

Hi!!! I'm with you! I start tomorrow. I don't have my official weigh in until tomorrow am but I'm about 200# 5'4 and need to finally lose this weight. Had a little guy last year and dropped quite a bit after having him and then ballooned past my pre baby weight. My motivation is that we'll be trying for another one as soon as I get myself at a healthy weight. We can do this!!!

I am 5 ft, started out at 190. Ive lost 28 lbs since January 12. Im at 161 now. I am on a 1200 calorie diet ( I am very short and sedentary with an desk job) but I am about to have gallbladder surgery and having regular attacks when I eat fat so some days I get 1200 and some days I dont lately. Its nearly impossible to cut fat completely out of your diet (what my doctor has instructed me to do until I have surgery). Its a process Ive learned. Some days are way over 1200 but the key is not giving up when you over eat, just start over in the morning. Im determined to take it off. It really motivates you when you can all the sudden wear and buy the clothes you use to wear and buy years ago. My biggest help during this has been that I use alot of healthy substitution for the bad foods and things that I enjoy. I couldnt do it without that. You would be surprised at what you learn to like when you are depriving yourself of the things you want lol. You can send me a request if you like.

Thank you so much for all your kind comments. I downloaded this last years ago but never used it. Woke up last week and find it hard to just bend over and put on my shoes I can't believe I allowed myself to get to this point. I have 2 small children and they need me to be able to run around and sit in the floor comfortably:( I will be looking at week per week and not the entire 65 lbs I have to loose because that makes me depressed .. my weight in will be every Monday .. I'm
New and I don't even know how to add as a friend. I need help.. it's time I wake up and focus and finally do what I have always wanted to for years
