Good morning and another happy Monday biggest losers! I hope that everyone had a nice weekend and is back and at em' today!

Welcome FR! You are right my friend, the rabbit didn't win the race. None of us put this weight on overnight, and we shouldn't have some outlandish expectations on it coming off quickly. Good for you for making small changes first. I know for me, when I looked at the big picture, I felt overwelmed. How in the world was I gonna lose 100 pounds?! So, I started setting small step goals (15 pound increments and/or clothing sizes). Whatever it takes to get you going and keep the positive energy flowing is a plus. So, come back often and update us on your progress ~ we are all together on this journey.

It seems as though we are all super busy right now living life... it happens. I just wanted to let you all know how proud I am of you all for making healthy decisions for yourselves. I know I may sound like a broken record of positive thinking... but I am a firm believer that positive thinking brings about positive change!

Well, I went to the dr on Friday for my weekly weigh in... and I lost 5 pounds last week. That brings my total for 2 weeks to 8 pounds. I know, it might not seem like alot, but right now it's helping me remind myself that YES, I can do this.

When my ex and I were together, we lost quite a bit of weight together. I think that it was in the beginning, and I had lost about 15 pounds. I was whining that it didn't seem like much. We were in the grocery store in the produce section and she had me a 5 pound sack of potatoes, then another and another. She said, THAT'S how much weight that you aren't carrying around anymore. It was a great way for me to see the change, in those smaller increments.

Well anyway, I hope that everyone has a great week, and that healthy eating & exercising are going strong. Take care of yourselves my friends!!
