    Dr. Phil, that guy on tv that we see all the time suggested a saying from Nike - Just do it. For me that resonated especially when it comes to exercising and don't let excuses - ever get in your way. It's going to be my new mantra on my weight loss journey. By prioritizing exercise you'll save yourself and lose some weight.

    Good evening. Thanks for the comment in the other group. I started out on July 4th officially. I had made changes before that but I wasn't doing weigh ins so I done know what my true high weight was. First weigh in was 386 today 305. So i'm on the way to my ultimate goal of 239. We'll see if 239 is realistic as i get closer to 250. BMI thinks I should be 190. I dont know who did crack and made the BMI chart lol.

    81+ pounds is awesome Trixster! I agree that BMI is not always livable. To get to my minimum 'normal' weight I would have to get to 135lbs which might be realistic for me. I've seen myself at 150 and still had a bit of padding :) but my more immediate goal is 200. I started at 238.4 and currently 226.2. so 12 pounds down 26.2 more to go. Then I'll make a new goal.

    The most I have ever lost is 42 pounds. Any weight lost is good for our joints :) It means we can be more active and that can only help with losing/maintaining weight.

    Without a doubt. My knees always hurt before. They haven't hurt in ages. I thought of that yesterday. It really occured to me when i carried my 65 lbs of luggage down the stairs in DEC and realized that that was how much weight i carried up and down those stairs every day.
