    You can TOTALLY do this! Don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the entirety of the goal. Break it down into smaller chunks, like 10 pounds at a time. Focus on that goal. BAM! You did it once, do it again! You can do MOST of your weight loss with diet alone. Start small. Cut out soda. Limit liquids to water (MOSTLY), tea, and coffee (without a ton of additions). As far as exercise, if you really want to do it, you WILL find time. Take a walk with the kids. Take the stairs. Park farther away. Little things add up.

    Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Hi,
    I have to lose between 90-100 lbs. I understand how you feel it is unrealistic to reach your wait but you can. I had started off well and lost 10 lbs. since I registered then broke my ankle - I was walking for exercise. The good thing is I did not gain weight back - so there is hope. I am restarting walking this weekend. Just do a little at a time. I thought it sounded corny when someone told me but it works. Friend me if you want.
    Good Luck and Keep Trying!

    I'm very busy...I'm a full-time mom and student, and I work part-time in addition to maintaining our household. My schedule doesn't allow me to go to the gym during a time when they have child care, and in between those times, I have to be on mommy duty because my hubby's at work. My only "real" free time comes around 10 pm...and by then I am so not motivated to work out, and I've let that keep me from achieving my goal. Plus, I hate actually working out. I want to have fun while I do it, and walking on the treadmill or doing those videos just isn't fun for me. I figure that for a while I'll just try to change my eating habits and throw some cardio in (I love playing Just Dance, just not sure how much of a good cardio workout that is). Once my schedule eases up a bit next summer I'd like to finally complete P90X.

    I started out "playing" the fitness games for wii...wii fit plus is my favorite to do (boxing, hula hoop, etc). The wii can be a really good workout and it's fun, doing that along with watching your calories, you will do fine :-)

    you can do it! believe in yourself! you are a beautiful soul and dont let anyone make you feel otherwise. way to go in taking that step toward a happier, healthier you. just take it one day at a time, make small changes and stick to them while your working your way up to bigger ones. pick one goal that is reachable and when you achieve it reward yourself with something pretty, a trip to the movies, a book or a new pair of shoes! lil goals help me get through those hard times by making the big picture look smaller. just think you've already got the hardest part behind you... you decided to make the change toward health! YOU CAN DO IT!!! i'll be glad to join you on your journey. feel free to add me. ;)
