I am feeling very motivated to lose the weight this time but I have failed so many times in the past that I need a confidence boost to make me realize that I can do this.:noway:

    I'm 52 and this site has been a Godsend!!! :flowerforyou: You can do it:bigsmile: ... I joined in January and have dropped so much faster than all the other diets that I've ever tried. Just follow the basics by logging your foods - drink your 64 oz of water and it is amazing at what happens. :wink: People are so supportive here! :drinker: Good luck to you on your journey to find the new you!!! :drinker:

    HI!!!

    ist off, there's no "I think", secondly... try as hard as you can not to look back at the past. Look at today and then tomorrow. You can do this... be all about 1 meal at a time. It's hard to keep trying sometimes. I hope you find lots of motivation here as-well-as support! We're all routing for you :flowerforyou:

    Hi Skinanc,

    It's is great that you are ready to do this. That is the most important element on this journey. Our mind has to be set, our plan has to be in place and it's our commitment and determination to be healthy that will bring it to past. Our failures are there to show us "what not to do", not to beat up on us, so consider what didn't work for you before and know that that is not the way to go. You have all the tools you need to be successful, you just need to successfully use them.

    Hang in there and keep getting back up when you fall down. Each step will bring you closer to your goal. Keep stepping girl!!!!

    Thanks for such a warm welcome! This is great! You're right... I need to stop saying I think and instead say I will!
