Wow.. that sounds so impossible now that I put it in writing.

Ive been on this site for about half a week now and I REALLY enjoy it. So far I have received alot of encouragement from alot of kool people.

I have 50% of my body weight to lose.... Thats 163 pounds :-(... In January 2010 I started losing on weight watchers and by June I had lost 33 pounds. Then I stopped focusing on myself and have gained all of it back over the last year.

So here I am :-) Im at it again but I have decided not to do weight watchers right now because they changed their plan. Im going to stick with counting calories for now. I weighed in on Thursday and as of this morning, I am down 3 pounds :-). Yay me!

    I'm losing about 50% of mine too! It sounds hard but you just have to take it one at a time and things will fall into place.
