We don't actually have cable television, so we wait 'til shows have ended then we download them to watch. We've been watching Losing It With Jillian and it's been very motivational/inspirational for me. After the most recent episode we watched, my husband has challenged me to challenge myself. (He is and always will be my greatest supporter. He's just awesome. He knows what I want and he won't let me settle for less, b/c he wants me to be happy for me.) So, it's August 1st. In 8 weeks my goal is to lose 40 lbs. Doable? Absolutely! So, ready.... set.... go.....

You can do anything you set your mind to do!

    I honestly wish you the best in your weight loss goal, but 40lbs in 8weeks????? Do you think that is a reasonable goal. I can see a goal of maybe 15-20lbs in 8 weeks. I beleive you need to re-evaluate your goal. I don't want you to be too diapointed if you don't reach your 40lb goal.

    Wish you all the best and Good luck

    Well, I kinda take the mantra that's written in my signature below....the goal should be attainable, but it should also be challenging. I have more than 100 lbs. to lose, in total, so an average of 5 lbs. a week is a good start, for me. I'm not suggesting it for everyone, but you'd have to know a little more of me to understand. I'm a gung ho, kind of person. I've been successful at losing weight, then something happens and I don't maintain (something in life that I can't control....example....about 3 weeks before my wedding - I was fired from my job - that sucked and I went off the deep end). I'm confident now because I'm in a deeper relationship with God than I've ever been and because of that relationship I'm in a more stable place emotionally. Things still come at me, but I'm able to think them through better than I've been able.

    My journey is so much more than losing weight. I'm truly changing my life. It all starts with the thoughts of the mind and what I do with those thoughts. I can choose to think positive or negative. I can choose to deny a negative thought, or live it out. I choose to deny the negativity and know that I certainly can do anything I choose to do; not just because I'm so "all that," but b/c my Father sooooooo is ALL THAT!

    If people don't know, I strongly encourage them to find out....God is the Way, all the way, every day.

    Wow...I didn't mean to go through all that, but it is what it is.
