This is hard work ....

.... and no one, and I mean NO ONE, should feel like they are in this alone. I mean come on people, we are counting calories, we are working out to get those extra calories so we don't go over our BMR's, we are drinking so much water that we feel like we are going to float away ... but we are doing it and we are losing the RIGHT way.

I have only been on this site for 13 days and I already have a bunch of friends here. I really think that beside doing all the stuff I mentioned above, having friends here is really super important. Cheering the successes and supporting those who hit plateaus is something that keeps us going. It motivates us to not give up. It shows us that this system REALLY works. I am so thankful that people were willing to friend me, site unseen, to just give me the support I need to (eventually) lose the 40lbs I really want to get rid of.

If you are here, and have been here for a while, and don't have friends ... request them! You have nothing to lose (except more weight). You gain the confidence that people are there to support you and to make sure that when you are having those super duper hard days (which we all have) there are people there to lift your spirits.

I challenge everyone who hasn't any friends to at least make 5 friends to help and to have help you on this journey. Weight loss isn't easy ... as I keep saying, slow and steady wins the race and ALL of us are going to win this race.

So let's go ... let's make some friends and get 'er done!

Hey Karen, You are so right about the friends and support! I will add you as a friend, I started in August 2010. I also wish, like you, that there was a spot for your height. It kind of puts this more in perspective. Good luck!

Thanks for the add request. I can't tell you how GOOD I have been feeling over the past week just being here, logging food and water. I haven't felt this positive in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

I am going to blog about this soon LOL
