    Welcome Cherokee! I think you've come to the right place! MFP is full of supportive people that will help you on your way! I am about the same as you... I think I might weigh a pound or two more... and want to be in the 150-140 range as my GW. :smile:

    Hello everyone, hope everyone is well on this Friday morning. Just a little bit about me, I'm currently nearing the end of week 2 of Turbofire. This program is great! I actually want to do it everyday. it's very motivating and you learn to push yourself to the next level. and when you dont give it you're all, you'll be disappointed because the workout will be over before you can redeem yourself. the workouts go by so fast and are fun. my fav is with the "boom! i got your boyfriend" song. the moves are fun and after a while you can actually feel and see a change in your body. i am continuing on my weight loss journey and continuing with the 20 wk program of TurboFire! =)

    I have been heavy FOREVER.. This is the first time I have stuck with anything. The keys so far to my success have been
    W - Walking
    W - Water
    W - Watching What I eat
    W - Women (or men but A SUPPORT SYSTEM of people who will keep you honest with yourself)
    W - Word I try and lean on the Bible for good scriptures of encouragement.

    My motivation quote is " Quitters never win, and Winners never quite" i saw it on a board a while ago and it has a good point for weight loss,
