    Don't think about 150 lbs, think about 10 lbs, or even 5 lbs. That is your goal. This will give you something quick to achieve. Don't let it get you down if you have bad days or "fall off the wagon", as it happens to everyone. The important thing is what you do about it. If you follow this program, you will lose the weight.

    Don't let anything or anyone hold you back! You can be whoever you want to be. If you need to lose 160 pounds then so be it, you can do it. Push yourself to the limit and beyond. Don't give up no matter what! There are things you can do to make working out and eating healthy more fun. If you feel like you just can't do it alone, then get a workout partner! Eating healthy won't be harder because you have kids, you should get your kids involved! Make it a family affair! Let them help you cook better meals, and take a family walk. Bottom line is: You have to do this for yourself and for your family, don't let your kids and fiance become you you don't like being yourself. Let your fiance know your deapest darkest secrets, don't be ashamed. When you become who you want to become, he will see you as a more strong willed individual and he will know you have put your mind to the task at hand and you have accomplished it! Good Luck, you go girl!

    Hello fellow newbie. I started yesterday and I love it already. I'm not much of a cheerleader type, but I think this is really going to work for me. Like you, my parents have offered me lots of incentives over the years to lose the weight. Even a shopping trip to NYC! But, of course, I never did it. The only thing that got me motivated and on track were my two beautiful boys - 10 and 3. About 3 months go my little one wanted me to go across the monkey bars with him; I could barely hold myself up. How can I enjoy this time with him if I'm sitting on the bench? Money and material things are nice, but the thing that's going to keep me going is my desire to be here for and be involve with my boys. I love them so much and I'm sick of watching them fromthe sidelines.

    Good luck to you on this journey and stay focused on your goals.

    I'm an emotional eater too, so I completely understand how hard it is to step away. I'm a new member too, and I think this site seems really supportive! Sending you a friend add! :)
