Hey there! I am looking to find some more friends that want to help me along this journey! I would like to help you too. I have a long road ahead of me but it will be worth all the work. Each day gets easier and easier but I find that my friends are drifting away from me, I have been heavy all my life (stocky is what most would say) I say FAT. Anyway, the point is I really did research and have been dedicated to a lifestyle change not a diet.

I walk everyday (wish I had someone to walk with (seems like everyone I know is full of excusses) but not me Im getting the move on everyday!

I purchased a gym membership for my entire family at a family friendly gym! I find that I burn more calories on my 4 mile walk vs. going to the gym but I go anyway!

I just got the new BodyMedia band from costco and I am in love with it!

I quit smoking 2 weeks ago (COLD TURKEY) Woo Hoo!

**** I have chicken POX right Now (LOL) that is too funny! The Doctor thinks it may be due to all the changes I made in the last month and now my body is in shock! Maybe?? I am feeling good and very dedicated to my new way of life no matter what comes in the way! bahahahah

So... I am a mom of 8 children and a very busy, hard working husband! We live in the country and I feel lonlely in this new journey! I feel like friends what you to fail. I started this diet because someone suggested I do it with them and I liked it so here I am the only one still doing it but changed from a diet to a life change!

Sometimes I feel like some people like you to stay heavy. It is not going to move off my fast by no means. I am doing this so I will be around for my kids! My family! I want to feel good! Anyway, some days, I just need more true support! Some friends that want to see me do well and be there to help me when I am stuck or need help!

It's just me being honest and I am done with the people that don't want to be supportive! I am changing my life one bite at a time! One step at a time! I spent the last 18 years on the unactive list! The time has come to change and as of a month ago I am very active taking over 12,000 steps a day! (kinda hard to do everyday) but I do!

Thank you!

Wow! Love your attitude! You are right...nobody needs to be stuck with ppl who are jealous or don't want you to succeed. You definitely have the right idea and I'm proud of you for knowing that sometimes you will get stuck(boy did I do that today!lol). As long as you have no intention on quitting and I'm sure you don't because you are 'changing and not dieting', you should do fine. Friend me if you like...my diary is not perfect every day(especially yesterday), but I have my mind made up. I think that you will find lots of friends here and a lot of support and motivation. I wish you much success on your journey!:flowerforyou:

Great speech there. I'm glad you have your goals laid out in front of you.

If you want you can add me, I'll help you along as much as I can.

Well done for posting your true feelings!! I know where you're coming from with the lack of support, I don't know why others feel the need to drag someone down for making positive changes in their life. If you are determined you will succeed!! I have lost weight before but just put it all back on and more, especially after having the children. For some reason I am incredibly motivated this time (amazes me some days!) and the different thing I am doing this time, is using this site. The inspirational stories, ideas and suggestions really keep me going. Good for you for sharing your positive attitude, its contagious!! Stay determined and we will be slim and healthy before we know it!!! :bigsmile:

That's what I'm doing! a LIFE change. Because I want to live to see my kids grow up. I never pictured myself as heavy before, I've always said FAT!
