in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm new to this site. Thought if I voice out my goal and daily struggles maybe this time I'll succeed. There is something about declaring a goal that helps me out. It has worked in other areas, why not weight. I have a total of 89 lbs. to lose to get to my wedding day weight. Its been 27 years since, so I'm cutting my goal in half for this year. Then I will work on the other half the following year.
Hope to make friends along the way and to have people who can hold me accountable to my goal.
THe journey begins, Rachel43

    Wow! A sister! I too have 89 lbs to lose and have been married 27 years. I joined in April and have lost 16 lbs. ( I guess I only have 73 lbs to lose now!) Your goal is achievable and I'm looking forward to hearing how you are doing.
