My name is Judy and I must lose some weight. So..I guess this is the way the alcoholics feel at their first AA meeting!
I started on President's Day and have lost 8 pounds. I would like to lose 108!

I never have any energy to get anything done, can't wear my clothes, fit in chairs, etc. WAAAAAHHHHHH!

I have been reading this forum for several hours today and think the support will be what I need to get/stay motivated. It was a beautiful day today and should have been gardening but if you folks can keep me motivated it was time well spent!

Looking forward to getting to know you fine folks!

Thanks Fancypants, Cajun Mama and rshanning. The success storeis are motivating! So, this morning I try to weigh and the batteries are dead on the scales. Good sign or bad omen, who knows!

I would say it might be a good thing lol. A long time ago when I was trying to lose weight I became obsessed with the scale. It was awful. I would find excuses throughout the day to weight myself. I was on the scale each and every trip to and by the bathroom. I think I weighed myself over a dozen times per day. I've since learned....keep track of my weight by stepping on the scale maybe twice a month and jot the numbers down in a notebook. But the real results show by how differently my clothes fit or what the tape measure says about my bmi. Again though, I have to really watch myself and make sure I don't obsess over it. I do my "check ins" once a week or so.
