    Such a better way to look at the situation right .I knew immediatly the day I started making better choices it was different than any diet I have ever been on.


    I weigh 258 today and my goal is 150 so only 108 to go.......


    Friend request on the way .

    Agreed!! Diets just set you up to fail as they restrict something and as we all know, when you restrict something you want it more. Changing the way we think is key.
    I am 92 as of today and today that will be the last time I will be that weight. I would like to get to 70. Tomorrow I will be closer!!
    Lets support each other along the way!

    Please feel free to add me as a friend. I have been on my weight loss journey since 2009 and I take it day by day. Recently I haven't had the need to weigh myself. Many have stressed, its just a number compared to the weigh I feel and live my life.

    Hello Group

    My name is Angie - I recently wrote a blog on this subject 'Diet is a 4 letter word'. My thoughts I tell everyone who mentions 'Are you on a diet?" My reply is No I'm on a life change journey.

    Hi everyone!

    I am so excited, I had my first weigh in since I started this journey, and I had lost eight pounds. I am really trying to make this a lifestyle change. I am making better food choices, and looking forward to more activity. I have started parking in the rear of the lot, just so I can walk farther, get more steps. There is a small amount of peace not having to look for the closest spot, and then no anger at having to walk the parking lot. It is amazing how making a small attitude change can lead to such peace. Another benefit I have noticed, is that my inner voice has been rather encouraging. Normally that inner voice is kinda a bully, she doesn't say nice things about the way I look, but lately, our mantra is "SOON" rather than 'NEVER." That in and of itself is a wonderful feeling.

    Tamra,

    Welcome and Congratulations on losing 8 pounds and that is great to hear that ur inner voice is not so negative and mean anymore. mine sometimes is still mean to me but not as often as it use to be but instead I have a brother to do that for me instead of my inner mind.

    if any of you would like to add me don't hesitate to do so!

    And keep up with the fabulous work everyone!!!

    Melissa
