Oy vey! I'm back

[Beth E. (NJ)]

I know that I said I was joining your merry group some time ago, but I was never able to get myself properly motivated and so I just fell away.

But now I am back!!!

Depressed, but back.

Why depressed? Because a while ago I lost 23 pounds. I was under 10 pounds from my goal, but I lost my way and gained it all back (plus 3 extra pounds for good measure.) So now I am at the heaviest I have ever been without having a small child secured inside my insides.

I feel frumpy and old. I'm hitting a milestone birthday in less than two months. I don't want to do that at the weight I am currently at.

I'm starting Weight Watchers (or something like it). I haven't gone to a meeting yet. I will in a couple of days. The good thing is that my DH is trying to lose weight as well. He is usually more dedicated than I am but I am going to do my very best.

I would like to lose 30-35 pounds. But I am doing it one pound at a time.

Beth, you know what? You did it once, you can do it again.

Congratulations on being motivated to come back. That's always the first step.

The most important thing is that you are here and ready to make a committment. Today is the first day of your journey to better health - welcome!

Hi Beth,
Glad you are here! I am in the same sorta position. I signed up this time last year and didn't do a blessed thing, and now I am back and hoping to lose 30 llbs-oops, I mean I am going to lose
30 lbs, see how they can brainwash you here? It's wonderful. Keep checking in and we'll keep each other motivated.

I liked the sounds of one pound at a time and one day at a time. Now you listen to that pro SnackyStacky - he knows what he is talking about - he's a "been there - done that" kind of guy and he says you got the first step right.

Come back and join us - we are a great bunch of "losers" and we will help you along your journey, too and why not take a look at the chatters thread 4th week - we just make committments (we each have our own) post what we are going to do - go do it and report back! Great accountability - and we would love to have you join us.

Good luck and yes, you can; yes, you can; yes, you can - got it now -we know you can
