    Hey there, just checking in. Doing pretty good, but the losses are kinda slow but thats probably just me eating a little more some days because of stress or whatnot. I am going in the right direction and have been since joining this challenge. Trying to keep my chin up, though. :)

    I'm motivated to do this, but I'm afraid to exercise in public. :'(

    Can you find a friend who wants to exercise too? It helps when there is someone there with you. I used to be nervous at the gym. I hired a personal trainer for a few sessions. It really gave me confidence when I had a routine and knew what I was doing. If neither of these are options, You can try distracting yourself from your fear with music, a good book or a favorite TV show. There are also MANY exercise videos on You Tube. You can start at home.

    I'm afraid to exercise in public to you weighto. I find pool exercise a good way to start. I'm 65 and have knee and hip problems. I was afraid at first about the bathing suit but found a good one to fit me in the Woman Within.com site. I tell myself that I'm doing this for myself. I want to be healthy and live to see my Grand daughter grow up. Soon you find that most people in water exercise groups are also overweight and come in all sizes and shapes. I now feel more comfortable and trying to rethink exercise more as an activity I enjoy and that will help me get to my three month goal. Try to forget about what people think about w eight or shape,you are trying to improve your health. I let this rule and ruin my life for 65 years. When I exercise I think about how different my life will be both health wise and with my thinking. I wish you success in all your efforts.:happy: :happy:

    I know this is on a Wednesday, and I guess we are supposed to check in every week. Sorry! I'll try to remember to post here on Mondays. After the first week and a half in September,, I'm down four pounds, at 284. Started MFP in the beginning of August once I saw the scale hit 300. So, all together my total loss for Phase 1 is 16lbs. How's everyone else doing?


    Phase 1 (8/1/13-10/31/13): 40 lbs (300--->260) ---Current weight---284
    Phase 2 (11/1/13-1/31/14): 30 lbs (260--->230)
