Good morning y'all

Matthew... it's good to see you checking back here! Remember, do NOT look at the big picture of how much weight you need to lose. It's overwelming and you can end up sabatoging yourself before you even begin. Like many others here, I set small goals of 10 pounds at a time. Each pound you lose gets you closer to the first goal weight. Get a lil' calendar or notebook, and start giving yourself a GOLD STAR for every 5 pounds you lose (it might sound corney, but it's a way of celebrating those milestones). Once you hit that first goal, you would be sooo proud of yourself you will want to keep going! You CAN do this Matthew... we all believe in you! Take that first step, and nothing will be able to hold you back!!

As for exercise, I can find a million excuses every single day why I don't have time... we ALL can find excuses. There just comes a point when we have to stop making excuses and just do it! *yes, I'm reminding myself this, too*

I know for me, seeing so many of my friends being successful at losing weight has completed motivated me to keep going. I might not be losing as fast as others, but I am losing. I'm averaging 1 - 2 pounds a week. I'm already noticing changes in the way my clothes are fitting... but mostly how much better my body feels. At the grocery store the other night, I picked up 3 - 5lb sacks of potatos to remind myself how much weight I'm NOT carrying around anymore!
