Hello, I am one week into my 80lb weight loss goal and lifestyle change {my first weigh-in is on Tuesday!} I had lost about 40 pounds in 2008/2009 for my wedding but then gained it back since starting nursing school in the fall of 2009. I graduate next summer and want to have lost most if not all of my weight by then. Also, we are going to be starting our family soon and I don't want to add that weight on top of what I already need to lose! So if you need an encouraging friend, please add me. I am looking for encouraging people as well to help me stay on the right path!

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us"
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
