You are so sweet! I think I make things harder for myself mentally. I feel such frustration, but I need to get up and go! Grocery shopping tomorrow. Going to get some good things. :) Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. They are much appreciated! We can do this!

Starting weight for Sept.: 171.6 (Sept 5th) This weeks weigh in: Monday, Sept. 5th Your goal for Sept: 165 Total loss so far in Sept: 0 How are you doing in personal goal? Trying to wrap my head around quitting smoking. I'm feeling scared of the emotional aspect of it.

Would love to do this! SW: 172 GW: 165 personal goal: Quit smoking!!!!

Thank you for writing this! It is very relevant to where I am now in this journey and it is the perfect time to come across this post. I wish you all the best. You will succeed! And thank you again!

I appreciate the suggestions so much! I googled fitness models and found a few with my body type that I would love to look like. Printed them up. I'll compare to how I look now and work on finding motivation that way. I wish you all the best luck!

Thank you so much!

It really does work. Log in every day. Even the bad ones. Logging and reading others stories helps you stay motivated. There will be hard days and the first couple of weeks are definitely tough but don't give up. I've lost 31 lbs so far and I've never been able to do that before. Good luck!

Buy your self a pair of Sexy shoes, so he can remember watching you walk away [/quote] I like this idea!

I have done the program sometimes using weights and other times the bands. The bands do work great! There have been many times when I felt like my workout was better with the bands. No worries and enjoy!

I use the accumeasure calipers. This site explains how to use it and find your percentage. Good luck! I love it! http://www.accumeasurefitness.com/descript.html

It takes time. You will have good weeks and bad weeks. Just don't give up. There is a lot of support here and we are all here for you! Don't give up, just start with the next meal and the next workout. It takes time and then eventually something clicks and you love it. I do suggest going to the Doctor for that physical. I…

Thank you. 38 DD and can never find one affordable that works. Will try!

LOL! My mind wanders like that ALL day. I mostly do workout videos so most of my time is spent thinking about how not to fall on my *kitten* and how the heck do I keep up! Thanks for the smile!

Thank you everyone. Feeling great now and back on track. Upped the meds and have another level check Tuesday. No driving for me until levels are good!

Thank you!

This is a long hard journey that you can and have to do for yourself. It is so worth it. Some close friends and family won't understand and be supportive at first. Keep at it. As change happens they will understand and hopefully become more supportive. This site is so great for support. There are some in my life I can't…

Thank you everyone for your responses!!!

Ooooo I love frozen grapes!

: ) I like this.

Very true. Calling someone lazy is not a cool thing to do, but I think accusations of bashing were made before any lazy comments were made. I don't think any of us are lazy. We're here aren't we? You have chosen a path I wouldn't have. If you are happy and it works for you them ok. I wish you luck. I'm not here to tell…

I'm not sure where the bashing is here. Someone saw an article, it was relevant, and they posted it. We all have a right to our opinions. Mine may differ from yours but I still have a right to it. I thought this site was for people to do just that. Share there thoughts, ideas, and what has worked for them. This is…

I don't comment with WTG's on peoples diaries or plans that seem extreme. I love my friends and I want them to succeed but in a healthy way. Ethically I can't congratulate someone who is harming themselves. It is a touchy and personal thing.

Yum! Thank you!

Such a great idea!
