Hi guys!!!! I have been reading all your journals and feel like I know you already!!! Today I take my life in my own hands!!! I have already started an exercise routine and hope to do some at least 3 times a day. My food will be around 1500 cals a day.My weight and the tiredness I feel is making me depressed so I am going to take control....Wish me luck.....Shelagh

Hi...

Stick around...read lots and post more!!! There's more than just luck here!! There's motivation, determination, the knowledge of knowing that it can be done! And pick me ups and tips and tricks. The people and posts are amazing. Hearing people's daily successes with exercise/water/food intake and their weekly successes of weight loss sure do keep you going!!
It seems that people fade away when they aren't doing well...yet those that stick it out and face their setbacks are the ones that will succeed in the long run!!!
I am actually having a PLANNED off day. Going to eat everything I have craved for, for two weeks now! Then back at it tomorrow. I did this before and it kept me going for 5 months. Eat disciplined for a set amount of time then have that one day to let you know that there is still food out there and you CAN still have it when you want and STILL succeed!!!

Remember....the LOSERS come out the WINNERS here!!!! Wishing you the best! in your new venture to the Healthier side!!!

Today I did ok. I ate fruit, sandwich , cereal and toast= 1000 calories so i guess i better have some more fruit!!! I did upper body weights and treadmill for 20 min. whew!!! Then i had a nap!! lol!!!The nights are the worst but I will get through.

Well I sure blew it for this weekend. I started the gym and ate like a PIG!!!!!! Gotta get going tomorrow. I was doing fine then deceided to try a low carb diet. I should have known better. These diets dont work for me!!!! I do not even like meat!!! What is the matter with me????I am like an idiot!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!! I get so mad at myself!!!!!!!!!
