I can do this, right?

So I got a wild hair last week and decided I need to stop TALKING about getting back in shape and actually DO it!! I know it will take a while to lose the weight the right way but I am the type of person who needs to SEE that I am getting somewhere so hopefully My Fitness Pal will help as I work towards my goal.

My daughter and I go to the gym together- me for the exercise, her to be my "challenge" since hubby wants no part of this. The gym is also a good way to get her out from in front of the computer IMO.

I could definitely use some friends on here to help boost my motivation!

    Just do this! Its not "I am thinking about it" any more, commit to it and stay at it. You will be so glad you did.

    "I can do this, right?"... depends on your answer to this question, do you want to get back in shape?

    Of course you can! Stick with it and you'll get the results you want.

    Thanks! I am committed 100% to it- just nervous that without the right support I will slack off :smokin:

    Shameless self-bump LOL
    If anybody needs a non-judgmental encouraging friend feel free to add me :flowerforyou:
    My ticker kinda lies about my goal- once I drop this weight on the ticker I am still here for the long haul because my next step will be to quit smoking which means I will gain weight (been there-done that!) and then I get to do this all over- yeah I need motivational friends

    You'll only gain weight from stopping smoking if you replace smoking with eating, exactly what I did.
    Find something else to do for 2 minutes when a craving hits you other than eat something and you'll be fine. :)
    Feel free to add me if you want the support :)
