in Introduce Yourself
Hey! I'm Lori. Decided I hate that none of my clothes fit, somewhere along the line I became a heavy breather, and I passed the chubby line to fat! I have 50 pounds to drop before I fall below that 200# mark. Wow...but one pound at a time right? Looking for great bits of inspiration and positive thoughts to get me started each morning!

    Hi, Lori!

    :)


    We all have to start somewhere. I just had a pretty rocky weekend, but I logged in on Monday and my screen looked just like any other day! Every morning, I get a fresh chance to do things right. Yesterday's mistakes are in the past and all I have to do is focus on NOW. No pertinence, no punishments, just get on with it.

    Hi Lori,
    We have similar goals. I'm here to give support and a kick in the pants if need be. :bigsmile: Good luck!

    haha...I am a bit hard headed so a kick in the pants is needed more often than not! I'll be sure to look you up when I feel like I am "sabotoging" myself!

    Welcome lori. :) exactly one day at a time and one pound at a time. You can do it! I'm pretty much in the same boat, started at 240lbs down to 230 in a month. Feel free to add me.
