I'm not Catholic, but I want to observe Lent
I've done it in years past. Approximately 40 days before Easter I would give up something to honor God and spend extra time in prayer and Bible reading.

What encourages you to stick with your plan?
I'm very interested to know how other women encourage themselves to stick with the plan and don't give up when they have a fail day. Truthfully, I have been trolling the success stories on the main forum. I get encouraged, and the desire to add my own story increases. So, what do you do?

Going for Gold (in California)
Glad to be back on track w/ MFP. I'm a 40-ish female with high hopes and a lot of motivation.

I'm excited to be in step with a lot of people who are looking to lose weight, gain health and enjoy life…
