I'm finished!!!

Today is a new day!

I am starting it now!!

I will not look back, I will only look ahead!

Nothing is going to get in my way anymore!

No more excuses!

I've spent to many years wishing to be thin. Starting now, I'm going to make it happen!

Hello Everyone!

I'm a young woman. I woke up today and weighted myself and the scale said 297. I will never see this number again. I've been over 200lbs since I was 12 years old. I've been over 300 for the past 3 years. It took me a year just to get to 297. I will get rid of this weight. I can do this.

I have to be my own cheerleader, coach, friend, and person who looks in the mirror and says this is changing.

Hopefully this is the day of change for me and you!

    You can totally do this! It seems like you've taken one of the biggest steps, and that's choosing to not settle for the status quo.

    You are so right....YOU CAN DO IT!!! Determination goes a long way in the fight against being overweight. I am just like you in the aspect of my starting weight was 286.4lbs and in 3 months I am down 40lbs. I want to lose another 96lbs and know with determination and lots of friends/family support.....WE can do this!!!!

    Thanks everyone for such great encouragement!

    I took a very big step last night and this morning!

    I joined a gym last night.

    Got up this morning at 4:40am and went to the gym.

    Worked out on the eliptical for 35 minutes and burned 700 calories!!

    One step at a time!

    go you! once you start eating clean-lean meats, good veggies, fruit as snacks, plenty of protein it will absolutely fall off you! I lost 14 lbs in 10 days and I was packing the veg into me! It will be a great motivation to keep going.
