in Introduce Yourself
I started my weight loss journey 1yr and 2 days ago... I've lost a lot and think I'm finally considered to be a healthy weight now. I'm trying to focus on nutrition and make sure I keep my exercise routine up... I could use some friends to help encourage me and I'm happy to offer encouragement too! :)

    I would be elated to have your success! You should be so proud!! I think anyone that can lose that kind of weight is doing something RIGHT. My philosophy is one day at a time, if you mess up one day then just do better the next. I know this isn't always easy but you have to keep going. Positive thinking won't give you everything but negative thinking will get you nowhere. Take care and keep up the good work!!

    I am so impressed. I have been under a lot of stress the last few years and have put on lots of wait. Not that I was thin before but I was losing and getting to my goal. I eat when stressed and my husband buys the things that are bad for me but taste so good. I haven't had the will power to even start counting calories and watch what I eat. I am getting serious starting today so it's great to see your post. You are an inspiration and when I get hungry I will think of how hard you worked and how far you've gone. Just looking in the mirror should make you feel amazing. The only picture I ever post is from the last time I was losing wait. And I never got to my goal before putting it and more back on. Your story will help me work harder. Thanks for posting!

    PS - I love your dog photo. I am a dog lover myself.
