Need more motivators

Hi kcaple04!

I'd be happy to join you! I only have a couple of friends online myself, but I just want to encourage you to keep doing what you're doing! You've lost 12 pounds! That's a really great beginning :-) Don't know how many more you have to go, but I'd be willing to wager you're not as far away from your goal weight as I am. I've got about another 130+ to go.

I was wicked thin when I was a kid...I remember at 11 my Mom took me to the doctor because she thought I was too skinny. My story is that I went to college, started drinking coca cola like it was mother's milk, and downing mashed potatoes every chance I got. I was still pretty active then, playing tennis mostly, but unfortunately I gave up that activity when I got a desk job in 1979. I've pretty much been sedentary since then...I figure that I probably put on about 5 pounds a year since then. Not too awful taken a year at a time, but it sure added up!

The accountability that this website gives me is an awesome motivator for me! My sister, who joined 5 days before me, and I are trying to really encourage each other when we have successes, and when it comes to letdowns.

Hope this helps you! Feel free to let me know how you're doing, and how you're feeling!
