UGH!!! If I had only started when I planned...I could be 4 pounds down instead of up! So much for putting things off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 , Welcome! What's done is done. You are starting now, that's what counts. I'm Gena, 37, married 19 yrs, have Niki, almost 19 yr and Cassie 12 yr. I have been struggling with my weight since Niki (19) was born due to an inactive thyroid and other things. At my heaviest I was 284, Oct 2000, so far am 203. The key is to not think about the numbers on the scale as much as changing your lifestyle. Work on habits, portion control, getting more active, things like that. I suggest going through lots of old posts. There is great info there! How much do you want to lose? I am hoping to lose at least 40 more this year. I know what you mean about the being 4 lbs heavier. I actually got down to 195 last year and then lost focus and crept back up to 208 at times. I started this new year off the same weight I did last year! but instead of kicking myself I'm just getting re focused and getting in gear. I can't say it enough, habits, lifestyle are key! Think about the health benefits of eating better and more active. It is about more than just weight loss. Be happy! Gena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
