hi everyone I am taking Beyonce new song and it is motivating me to get up and move! I now weight 305 # and yes babies and my bad eating got me there but I know that nobody can change all this sexiness into fineness but me. So if you are looking for positivity I am the one I have plenty of it -- Not because I am this perky goody two shoes but because I have beat myself up for years and silently let it take me down until I said no more! So I know I have a way to go but I can do it if you would like a buddy like me hit me up I am here and that's on the real. Come join me and join the hard but sometimes fun and very rewarding journey! If you don't join me then Good Luck in whatever you do Just Do It. I am 32 just turned right before x-mas and I said why wait until after new years let me start now! This can be you to starting right now.... Just Do It!

Glad to hear you are so positive and upbeat!!

Take it and get fired up now. . who knows what will happen in the next week to put that fire out. . and then who knows how long it would take to get fired back up again.

Start your journal today!! Set some goals and away you go!!

Thank you niapage and jajochku3 for even bothering to respond to my ramblings. It can get very discouraging if no one is bothering to respond to anything that you are saying. Today I got up and I told my mom that we were going to step into health -good health. I caught a bad cold and I was bedridden for 7 days. You just don't know how blessed you are with your health until you get sick or something. I was like when I finally get up off this darn bed I am going to take care of myself and so I am. I danced some to the radio (still a little weak) but I am eating more greens, vegetables and such. So far, even though I love sweets I have been able to ignore. I ate a tiny piece of potatoe pie and you know what it stopped my craving. It was just enough. I have worked nights most of my life so my body is used to eating at about 3 in the morning. Well this morning I woke up and sleepily went to the kitchen to get a piece of cake out of habit, but I caught myself in time and drank some water and went right back to sleep! I made it through the night.

Your right, why wait. Do it know. I know its going to be hard but lets do it together.Thanks for the motivation

It's great you are able to fight your cravings! I tend to give in to mine. Keep up the good work. Have you started a journal yet?

It's the best way to get encouragement!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

(Loving the name of the thread, by the way! )

Get it girl! I couldnt HELP but read this thread! That is my jam **thinking I need to make sure that is on REPEAT for my MP3**.

Congrats on the attitude - it will get you far. Changing our habits is the HARDEST thing ever! Not sure how much help I can be... but I'll try!

~Love is love

HooRah!!! You have a great attitude!! I am right there with ya!

Wow! Rub some of that positivity on me! lol Im having difficulty getting my but in gear..

hi everyone thanks for all the comments. I really would like to start a buddy group and we could come on at a certain time and chat since I noticed no one seems to use this feature. One thing I am doing is writing down my food in a journal. I hate to write but one thing I have learned from experience is if you don't write it you didn't eat it (right). But really what that means is that you will often forget those 2 candy kisses, that pinch of pie, that cupful of soda and so on if you don't write it down. You can truly easily forget! Writing it all down holds you accountable for your actions and it also makes you notice what you eat, when you eat, why you eat and etc.. So I believe in support system . Some people can do it alone but why when its more fun and you get way more support with a group so who is in let me know . I am a beginner so I am learning

hey guys how do I get my ticker posted? I went to the web site and I found out how to do the steps but I want mine under my name and comments like everyone else. If you know how to do it walk and I do mean walk the baby (me) through the steps! thank you I will dance and do karoke at your weightloss party

That has to be one of the best statements that I've heard in a long time. So many people try to do everything alone, but then you have no one to share your joy with that is sad. It's so much better to have someone to share your joy and your pain with.

Today was an off day for me. I was hungry today. I ate a good breakfast but it seemed as if I still wasn't satisfied. I felt like no matter what I ate I was still hungry so I ate some xmas potatoe pie and a little debbie cake later on and the hunger went away. I think I am just bored.

I fall prey to boredom eating all the time.

I wish I could say I triumphed over them but I don't. I guess all you can really do is try to eat healthier snacks. . and maybe find a good book.
