Hi I'm Amy and I'm finally in the right mindset and want to keep it that way. The biggest goal I have right now is beyond weight loss and more about my mindset. I'm working hard to change how I think and feel about myself and my body. I would never speak to family or friends the way I've allowed myself to keep negative thoughts in my head. I'm taking this day by day and saying positive affirmations to myself and not allow myself to get in my way. I know if I change my thought process everything else will fall into place with determination and discipline. I'm off to a great start keeping within my calorie range and drinking a ton of water. My goal is to do cardio a minimum of 4 days a week, and I have no excuses since I have an elliptical in my basement.

    You are already on your way by making this decision and announcing it publicly! You will be so glad you did. Feel free to friend me. It's important to encourage one another.

    Hi, Amy, add me if you want, just don't mind my sense of humor! I know what you mean about talking bad to yourself, though. I'm terrible about it.

    The more you use this site, the more you learn about your habits and can figure out how to adjust as necesary. Add me if you would like. I've been on a couple of weeks, but it has really opened my eyes to what I have been doing wrong for so long.

    I have been saying I want to lose weight since this time last year and until I started on the forums I failed constantly! Now I am actually seeing change and weight loss and I am enjoying being fit!

    I really can relate to your post - lots of negative thoughts running around. It's time to focus on the positive steps we are taking to get healthy. :smile: Please add me if you would like.

    I'm the same way! My past failures are all due to my mindset not being in the right place! Feel free to add me!
