Hey Terriesin! You've made your first step to join here and get healthier, so that's half the battle gone! I agree on meeting the smaller goals first, so for me, it's just aiming to lose 2 pounds a week, and measuring up my fitness performance against the one before.

The important thing is to never give up, and just keep at it! You'll do great!

Didn't realize this group was already closed....
Perhaps those of us who didn't make it in the group of 40 should start our own??
Anyone want to initiate it or set it up? Am fairly new to MFP so I'm not sure about setting up groups, etc....
