I'm Psyched!!!!!

I agree! You have to stick with it and find what works for you...never give up! I have been doing this for 60 days now...and only recently started to lose weight. Sometimes you have to eat more, change your goals from 2 lbs. to 1 lb. loss per week, and manage what you eat: like your sugars, carbs, and protein. There is a solution for everyone! But people have to be willing to keep trying until something works :bigsmile:

And like you've said before...You have to really want it! And you have to put in the work! Woo hoooo~~~ Now I'm psyched too!

Indeed...time ticks on. All you will have if you don't do it, or if you haven't started it...is regret.

Bump. I am going to look at this when I feel crappy. Thanks for posting it in that obnoxious thread that I started talking about dogs in haha.

Love it! Love that feeling! My moto is Succeed today! I was, and still am sometimes, a huge procrastinator...I can start tomorrow....well months from now I can be xxLBS lighter or I can not even have started.....Ill take lbs lighter please! It is tough. You will hit bumps and fall off the wagon...just don't let yourself get lost and you will succeed! And hey, if you do get a little lost, just come on back when you are ready and we will be here to help you along! I love MFP friends!

Keep that positive attitude

Remember: No one said it would be easy. But it will be worth it.

and I like to remind myself:

You will encounter many obstacles in your life. Don't let yourself become one of them.

I agree....so wish i would have woke up sooner and made the change in my life.
I'm here now and loving it!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Totally get that-- mannnn-- if I'd have gotten my head out of my behind ten years ago.....sigh.

But, better late than never.....right?

Hey! I thought this was a negative thread where I could bash some people.

I must have taken a wrong turn near the entrance of the MFP forums.



But seriously, yay, you...keep it up and make it happen.

The problem is that when we're young we think we have forever. I knew a lady, older than me, who made the comment once that she never went back to finish college because it would have taken 10 years going part-time. Of course, 10 years later she realized she could have been done by then!

If I may paraphrase a couple of previous posters:

"Time still passes, so let's get our head out of our ...." :laugh:

SO TRUE!!

Do it or not...time is still going to pass right?

Great mindset. I may steal this

GOOD IM HAPPY THAT IM TAKING INITIATIVE TO REACH MY GOAL I NEED TO LOOSE 43 PNDS & I WONT GIVE UP... IN FACT THIS THREAD GAVE ME MOTIVATION THANX EVERYONE

Was awake last night thinking about how fortunate I am to realize I need to lose weight and I'm doing it! I'm psyched to lose weight and get healthy and I'm looking forward to my goal. It's going to get done! You can do it too! Don't let the scale, or numbers or food get in your own way....My mantra is ......

Find the answer, Work it out, YOU can do it!!!!!

I have decided that I officially hate the scale. It's actually a stumbling block for me in all of this. I stepped on it this morning and was super frustrated with the number. Then, I went to my closet and got dressed. I pulled out a dress that was kind of tight on me when I was 3 pounds lighter the last time I wore it (over a year ago) - and it fit me BETTER today than it did the last time. Why? Because I'm working out, toning/building muscle, so the number on the scale is a big fat (pun intended!) liar!!!

So, you're right. We CAN do this and we shall! :flowerforyou:

I'm with you!!!
