REJOINED

[Guest guest]

I am trying for about the 1000th time to get this weight off of me

and become more fit. I can't just go on a " diet " and expect the

weight to just fall off. I need to relearn portion control and how to

eat normally for the rest of my life. To be honest, I'm joining a

number of groups today because I feel the more support I can get, the

better chances I'll have of sticking with a new way of eating, and

making myself get into a regular exercise routine. Some of the groups

I've been in before and they know the struggle I've had for the past

couple of years. Right now I'm 178 lbs and my goal is to get down to

around 140-145 lbs and then stay there. For my height and bone

structure, plus my age, I think that would be a good healthy weight

for me to be. I'm hoping you'll be as supportive of my struggles as I

will be to support the rest of the group in their struggles.

Thanks, Vicki

Welcome, Vicki! I sure don't think there's anything wrong with you

joining a number of groups for support, though of course I'm biased

towards thinking this one's the best, heehee. It sounds to me like

178 isn't your original starting weight, am I taking that right?

Cause whoo, I still feel like 178 is *nothing*! Obviously, each

person has a different number they see on the scale that makes them

finally take action (and not just talk about taking action, which I

tried but found wasn't so effective for weight loss, hehe) I think

your goal is very reasonable, and you've already got the right

mindset, as I see by you saying no dieting, but that you plan to

learn eating habits for the rest of your life. I don't know if Yahoo

allows gambling, but if so, I'd like to put my money on seeing you

start losing in no time. Maybe I should be safe, and just say

congratulations in advance, I have not one doubt regarding your

success! =+)

Hi Vicki. I want to give you a few encouraging words here and some

inspiration. I was 175 on Sept 1st of this year. I now weigh just a

little over three months later 148. Imagine three months from now.

That's what late march..early April..just in time for summer you can

be at your goal weight. I know in the begining three months seems

like a long time but after you get past that first month and you

really start to feel better it gets so much easier.

I am glad you rejoined us and hope to hear about your awsome

progress I know your going to make it!!

Welcome, Vicki! Glad to have you join us. Portion control is hard

for me as well, especially lately it seems. Sounds like you have

the basics down.

Vicki... I think the most support you have is a benefit, however, too much may

cause some confusion... just speaking of my experience. When I first got the

Internet I joined so many groups that it became so overwhelming for me, so I had

to narrow my search and I found this group along with one other. I am glad that

there are so many people hear who relate, and who will support one another...

with no negativity... I hope that the support you gain from the group will

forever help you in your journey.
