in Introduce Yourself
Hi all!
I'm not new to weight loss programs! I've tried EVERYTHING out there! I have been on so many programs that I've lost count. I recently tried Weight Watchers for the tenth time. I needed a change so here I am! I would love to meet some new people and get lots of motivation to keep me on track during this long journey!:heart:

    Take it one day at a time.
    Don't look at the big picture.
    Something i've done as well is when i really got dedicated to losing weight and changing lifestyle was go to the local used clothing store and buy a couple of outfits that were a little tight, it was really great to see when they fit and are now too big.

    I have about the same to lose IF I want to get down to my ideal body weight. Once I reach my first goal, I'll re-evaluate then.. but you are more than welcome to add me. I would love support and love to give support. :)

    Someone above wrote "we can do this" I wish there was a LOVE button!! That is exactly it, honey, you aren't alone! I wish I found this community when I was 9. I may nothave gotten fat! Lol!! Feel free to add me. I had the lap band and have been put on a special diet for maximum weight loss. (do I always follow it? NO, Im human!) I don't believe in diets, I believe in lifestyle changes and WORK. Anyway, that being said, Id be glad to share what I know and my counseling sessions with a nutritionist! :heart:

    YEAH.. you can do it. The methods are varied here. I love that there are vegans and people doing Atkins! Can I say, I am over people saying I can't have a cheeseburger? If I want to "Spend" my calories on it and it helps me feel like I am not depriving myself.. I am fine with it. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES.. it took me years to put on this weight, I am going to take my time and learn new ways, OVER TIME! S'all right! I hope you can maybe break down your ultimate goal into smaller, workable Ways to feel you've achieved something new and lasting! Best wishes!


    OOps, I have about the same amount to lose, too. I've been in treatment, done all sorts of methods.. I want to learn to eat to live this time.

    ^This!

    Like you - this would be my umpteenth million time giving this a go lol.

    But it totally "feels" different this time.

    I mean I have over 200lbs to lose - but I'm choosing this time to look at the smaller picture so I don't intimidate myself.

    I mean 1 month down, I'm down 9lbs - and I'm almost at my 1st goal woohoo! That's a much more impressive way to look at it to me - and God's honest truth - 1st time ever in my 30 years, that i finally 'get it' hahah.

    Also - let me introduce you to my magic food friend: BABY SPINACH
    You can put that stuff on anything! 4.5 cups on 20 cals! woohoo.
    Slap that stuff on a sandwich - kinda tricks your brain into thinkin it's a big meaty sandwich - and it's got this out of the world crunch to it woohoo!

    Most importantly - keep on keepin on friend! and add friends as support - it really helps :)
