Hi all! I just signed up and I am excited about seeing just what I am made of...and finally doing what I have been wanting to do for years! I know it is going to be frustrating and difficult along the way so I may need some support from others going thru it all. I have had a motto now for some time...I always say to myself, "There is only one thing standing in your way of loosing weight...and that thing is you...and you are huge!" lol...enough of that crap! Time to change the way I think and watch what that does to my body! So...time to begin...:happy:

    If we all help each other maybe this time will be different. I am sure hoping so

    I surely agree that the only person standing in the the way is ourselves. Therefore I am taking control of my elbows, and from this point on ...nothing is going in my mouth that is over a 120 calories per serving. I have already started with 10 calories jello, bottled water with 5 calorie flavor sprinkles, and lots of fruit (canned and fresh). May the Lord see us through this marvelous journey. I am definately going to be needing some inspirational power as well... hopefully I will be able to help many.

    Just signed up and ready to go. As a single parent it's always hard to find the time. Well I'm running out of time, I feel myself wasting away and losing strength. So I'm going in full force, I'm all in and going for broke. So lets keep each other motivated.

    I figure if I actually post something, then in a way I am holding myself accountable to others. I don't ever share my weight loss goals, just in case I fail. Of course, that sets me up for failure. I like the idea I saw of mini-goal rewards. It's great to see I'm not alone!

    Is there a way to find a 'buddy' that will help hold you accountable, or do check-ins?
