This is THE hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. EVER. But, I do not want to resort to weight loss surgery. I'm too young. I'm physically fit. That's just not the option for me.

It's hard ladies, but we can do this. Stay encouraged.

I KNOW you can do it!!!!!!

Ladies I was a size 20-22 at my heaviest. Now I am a 10-12 and have been for years. It took serious behavior change when it came to food. One thing that I learned is that if I don't deny myself a certain food, I soon grow tired of it and end up throwing the rest away. It's when I tell myself I shouldn't have it that I crave it more. Of course this won't work for eveybody.

And yes exercise is key even if it is nothing more than purposely not parking close to an entrance, or taking steps instead of elevators. I purposely bought a town home with three levels so I am constantly going up and down steps. It all counts.

But if you make lasting changes now, you'll never have to do it again in your life. EVER.

Wow I think most of hit a wall or fell off the wagon the last few weeks/months. I know for me I was on a mission to loose my final 20 pounds and I was going strong and doing well. I was down 13 and only had 7 more to go and the ending was in sight, and then it happened. In a month I fell off the wagon, wasn't all that pressed about what I was eating, and gained 11 pounds in about a month and some change.

I got back motivated, and then you know what happened, Halloween game and I fell victim to all the candy that my co-workers brought in, and I usually don't even eat chocolate candy, but again when I had started to trun the corner there I was back off the wagon again. So then last week I took a trip to West Palm Beach for work, and you know what happened...yeah I was drinking like a damn fish, but here I am as of Saturday pulling myself back up, and getting back. I even signed up for a spin class on thanskgiving morning....so let's do this, AND all let's get back focused where we were hitting our end of year goals...come on now who is with me?!

I'm with you Kim.

I was so inspired by treblk's post about juicing that I think I'm going to take a stab at it next week.

I haven't been this motivated to lose weight in a long time, so I really want to capitalize on this momentum and do it big. Let's do it ladies!
