    This site is a great place to get lots of encouragement, just keep telling yourself that you can do it and it is going to take time. That was my biggest hurdle, I gained the weight so easily that I thought losing it would be just as easy. (I was very wrong)
    If you want you can add me as a friend and we can motivate each other to reach our goals.:smile:

    You CAN do this! You just have to be kind to yourself in the process. You have to allow yourself the time it takes for your taste buds to adjust to truly healthy foods, and you have to honestly push yourself at working out, without going overboard and causing an injury. Your health has to become the true focus in everything you do. A way of life, from moment to moment. It has to be a primary concern in everything you do. Basically, you have to want it bad enough to go out and get it.

    I've lost 41 lbs so far, and I thought there was no hope for me at all when I started. Now, I can't believe I ever lived any other way. I feel so much better, and look better too. In fact, my doctor just took me off of one of my meds, and in a few weeks, I'll be tapering off of the last medication. I'm so excited that the changes I've worked so hard to make are actually making a big enough difference for me to stop taking medication.

    You CAN do this!

    Stay away from fads and pills (Unless doctor subscribed). Just do what your mother taught you, portion control. Many good people and some great tools here.

    I wish you much success and happiness as well.
