I am determined to get healthier and reach my goal of shredding 70 lb by September. I need to do it for not only myself but for my children. My motto is one step, one meal, and one day at a time. Any advice to help this journey, I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks
Amy

    sure, what are your demons? The things that keep you from losing. It is about changing our behavior whether it be lunch with friends, eating in front of tv, emotional eating, etc. remember, if it ain't in the house, you can't eat it! I suggest one change at a time and stick with it. Pretty soon, you won't be longing for those evil nutritionless foods. Oh, you will want them, but be able to resist.

    Great motto. . .mine is don't dney myself anything. . .if I want to be bad and have that McD's one day, I'm not gonig to berate myself, I'm just going to try and make sure even with those calories I don't go too far if at all over my goal for the day. I have allowed myself three bad things since I started: A local small hole int he wall pit beef BBQ lunch(had to guess at the calories there) and two pieces of celebratory cake here in the office. . the last two, I went home and did an additional 20 mins on the bike and didn't gain weight ;)

    One day at a time. .

    i think you can accomplish that goal, that is a little over 8lbs a month and 2 pounds a week is a healthy goal. you just have to stay on top of it. watch what you eat , keep up your work outs and keep a positive attitude!!!!! it won't be easy but if are determined you and God can do anything. i will be yoru cheerleader. first mini goal for me at least 5 LBS BY FEB 19th.....by MAY 8TH MOTHERS DAY 20 LBS......BY AUGUST 11TH 35LBS THAT WOULD PUT ME AT 148........WILL DEAL WITH THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR WHEN WE GET THERE......

    LOVE YA GIRL YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
