Thank you Tierra. Those are very kind words.

I never really thought about setting actual dates. That would probably be a good idea. Thanks

Hi. I am not to far from you. I live in Stanford, Kentucky. I will buddy up with ya and we can encourage each other. Tina

Welcome to this group. I am new here also and I love it already. I have lost 10 lbs since I started. Mainly b/c I didn't really realize just how many calories I was eating every day. I have found myself more motivated also. Everyone has been really nice here. Feel free to add me to your friend list. Good Luck Tina

I don't know about this. I am new and also new to trying to lose weight in a long time. Can u tell me about it? Also is it doable for someone who needs double knee replacements? Thanks Tina

Thanks for all the wonderful pointers. I will keep them all in mind. I have to have some kind of snack before bedtime b/c I take meds before be. I also have to take insulin so I don't want my sugar to drop while asleep. Tonight I did a banana with a tsp of peanut butter. These were alot of great things. I will try them.…

Wow..I never thought about that fact that I could be thirsty nor had i ever thought about it like that. I thought only ur mouth told you that you were thirsty...dumb huh? I will give that a try. I usually just "go to bed" and try to forget about it, but it doesn't always work. Thanks for that insight.

Thank you all for the encouraging words. I believe that with you all as my friends/encourages and God's help I can do this. I have never really felt to motivated, but I think hearing the words bedfast gave me some motivation. I am 40 years old and weigh 300 lbs. I have lost 50 pounds in the past before, but eventually…
