    It is hard, but it's worth it.

    It almost sounds stupidly cliche, but if you really want this, you'll work for it and you'll look back and think 'why didn't I do this sooner?!' Try small steps, small attainable goals toward your bigger picture. And never give up. =)

    Good luck!

    Don't give up, it is a slow process but I know it will be worth it in the end both in my life and in yours :o)

    Thanx everyone! Im not giving up, I promised myself im gonna kick this weight in the butt.. I just get frusterated but I guess its normal. When I started in march I weighed 256 now I weigh 247 but my weight bounces from 247 to 250. Its insane makes me think what am I doing wrong. Very discouraging :( but im still trying. I wanna b able to run around & play wih my son & not b so tired. He's turning 2 in July & hes already so active I wish I had his energy.

    He's a cutie too! I have a two year old (he's my fourth and last) and honestly I think they sap the energy from us somehow. :wink: :laugh:

    Ignore the scale. Use measurements instead. Weight fluctuates from day to day.

    your weight will fluctuate...

    I recommend just weighing yourself once a week under the same conditions. AKA right after you wake up and have used the restroom. Also any binges or large carb intakes will cause a spike in water weight. You just stick with it and your weight will come down fluctuations and all.
