in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,
I have been up and down the weight roller coaster most of my adult life and I am really ready to stabilize my weight and have a healthy life style for the sake of my self and my precious children. Something strange I notice about myself is, after losing around 20 pounds I sabotage my hard work. I need to get across that 20 lb. mark in order to ever have a chance to reach my goals. If you could be of encouragement in even the smallest measure, add me as a friend. Have a great day!

    Thanks for the encouragement. I was once told by someone who lost 150 lbs. that it is worth all the blood, sweat, and tears! I believe that with all my heart.

    I am not sure I am much help except to say that I am in the same boat. I have exercised - and dropped 20 - I don't - I gain 20. Let's do this one last time together. My mind set is better and I am going to beat those bad cravings with skinny substitutions.

    I agree 100% its the word "determination" and I would add "dedicated"

    Hi! We are all human and have times where we fall back. I lost 60lbs in my initial weight loss and have been experiencing the same roller coaster with about 10lbs over the past year. YOU CAN DO IT! Remember that everyday is progress and just take it day by day! We are all here to support one another too! :)

    I've surprised myself by being motivated for 25 days! Not a lot, but better than I've ever managed before..I think that by completing the daily journals, I have to take ownership - and not thinking of it as a "Diet" has helped - I'm focussed on eating healthy, which is far more positive than dieting! Awesome thing is finding clothes loose is enough motivation for me to keep going ;)

    Hey! Great work, I always suffered from weight since I was 15 I loved my body but my family was always hard on me to lose weight which made me put on more.
    As an adult I have gained so much and always have that yoyo diet where I lose 20lbs feel good and stop. I recently started watching a show called Work Out and it has open my eyes so much about the facts of being over weight, and after watching Fat, Sick & Nearly dead it has inspired me to really make a change. I am eating healthier and adding a vegetable/fruit smoothie lunch into my diet and I feel so great full of energy and I am seeing a difference in how clean and great my face looks. Is a hard journey after a life of failed diets we can do this :)
