I KNOW THAT SOUNDS KIN OF CORNY - BUT I AM STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN. I AM AT MY ALL TIME HIGHEST WEIGHT AND I NEED TO LOSE IT AND THIS IS THE WEEK IT IS STARTING. I HAVE BEEN BUYING CLOTHES FOR MYSELF AS I GET BIGGER AND BIGGER. THIS IS REALLY SAD. AS I HAVE CLOTHES FROM WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL YET - 7 YEARS AGO. (NOT REALLY IN STYLE) I DIDN'T DO GOOD TODAY AS I CELEBRATED MY FINALS, AND I HAD A DRINK AND A BURGER AND FRIED FOODS BUT I INTEND TO DO BETTER. I HAVE BEEN DRINKING WATER TONIGHT INSTEAD AND ADDITION TO MY USUAL SODA. BUT TOMMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY:)

good luck!!!

This journal forum has been a real source of inspiration to me, and it took awhile before I could get really started. Just remember you have it in your power to acheive your goals.

Looking forward to getting to know you:)

Hello
This is the hard part, getting that day started and You can do it.. Once you start it will become somewhat easier. Yes somedays are very hard but once you start losing you will not want to have to start over.
It will be well worth the pain and torture in the long run and you will feel so proud of yourself.
Good Luck on your journey.

Hello and welcome. you phrased it well"tommorow is another day"

i have been having a hard time and i need to live by that phrase.

the water instead of the soda is a great start.

take care.

Ok I have been offline awhile. I have renewed my commitment to the task at hand. I have had the flu for a while - and lost a few pounds, water weight of course but I need to try something to get me motivated to stay working hard. I can do this. I am posting from my original weight at 227 God that was hard to write down. To my new weight at 223. (still hard to write) I can and will do this. I will eat better to feel better. Thank you for all the encouragement.

Good work at getting hooked up with us here at DT. That is the first big step and the first real thing that will help keep you focused and picking yourself up when needed.

So are you all done nursing now or was it just finals for this past semester? Hope you did great on them.

Just start making some baby steps. This will not be a miracle weight loss, but then it will become so much a part of your life that you will be able to maintain it for life. So good for you, you are here and on your way. Keep posting and visiting other peoples journals as well as other forums.

Welcome here.

You guys are great with the support. It was finals for just the semester. I have one more yet to go - done in May. I hope! I have had a pretty good christmas break though. I just am going to have to work harder. Today I am going to go for a quick walk - It is cold outside so it will have to be quick. But the sun is shining and I can do this!

Well I didn't do so good today. Exercise or anything else. I ate after 730 like I told myself I would never do. I guess I will just lie to myself. But I only gained a .5 pound today and I am going to try hard to stay on plan today and exercise even though it snowed, maybe it will make it fun!

Well - today I lost that same .5 pounds. Yeah:) I picked up at the packers game. After their loss who wouldn't want to eat. Any way, I am going to stay OP and do well today. I plan to eat well in my budget, and have an all around good day! Guess I will continue tomorrow.
