Munchey,
This ChocoloateLover2014. I have found the challenge. I will update the spreadsheets shortly. My positive affirmations are
1. I deserve to succeed.
2. I am getting better everyday.
3. I have a positive attitude about what I eat, how I eat and when I eat.
ChocolateLover:
Glad you found the thread! Good affirmations!
The link below will take you to a little slide show for 52 suggestions that can lead to weight loss. Most will be familiar with many of the suggestions. I find that I need a lot of reminders, lol. Check it out.
I would like to join too. My current weight is 210. I'd like to loose 15 pounds by the end of the challenge.

Welcome to the challenge. I entered your name on the spreadsheets.
I like you, Munchey! You really take the time to welcome everyone and are a great cheerleader! thanks for all the encouragement. After vacation, I need to get back on track and your posts do make me smile.
Glad if I can make anyone smile . I know that most people have a busy life and limited time, but I think it helps us to connect and interact with others on these threads as possible. Sharing, venting, asking for and giving help can be positive for us all in the long run.
I thought I'd throw out a couple more affirmations for the week.
I deserve to feel good in my skin.
I deserve to do the things I want to do without worrying how my weight will affect my experience.
I believe in myself, so I know I will (not can) do it.
Have a great weekend everyone! Fingers crossed for everyone's weigh in on Sunday!
