116 pounds really?

kimmerkay

I'm just amazed at the people on here that have lost a bunch of weight... I have tried so many times and I'm at the beginning of my journey. When I look at my 4 pounds and try to imagine it as 116 pounds, I can hardly believe it can happen... THEN,, I see all you wonderful amazing people who have lost 50 and 100 pounds and I just drool.... I want it... I WANT IT!
I want to look like a new person.
I want to buy cool clothes.
I want to build my confidence.
I want my family to be amazed...
I want for once in my life to stick with something and succeed.

Any of you "big losers" (LOL) feel this way when you just got started? How did you stick it out?

Just think where you will be in a year. Those people didn't do it overnight. Log on everyday even if you are bad. Don't let anything stand in your way. Educate yourself on healthy eating. Get a food scale. Cut of sugary drinks. Everytime you feel like quiting, log on and post it. We are all here to help.

I just took it one day at a time, and even if I messed up I didn't let it effect the next days progress. If I did well the day before it didn't effect today's progress either.

Good luck and if you need anything we are here for you

If you can think it, see it, believe it you can do it. Mind over matter. Anything is possible. It's up to YOU to believe it.

For me there was definite satisfaction in seeing my ticker move more and more to the right side of the screen...seeing the tickers of people who have lost more than me continues to inspire and motivate me! If they can do it, so can it!

Haha, I used to hate it when the butt of my ladybug still hung over the left end. It seemed like it took so long to see him even visibly move.

I agree with all of the above. And might I add... it happens one food choice at a time. Best of luck!
