Hey, I too started at 287 lbs.
I'm with Susan. What's your plan of action to get the job done???
The greatest thing is though, that once you
decide to do this, then you
COMMIT to do this - and then it gets
DONE. You accept no more excuses. You do what's necessary, what's required - NO MATTER WHAT. You don't have to be overweight if you don't want to be. It took me decades to realize that one. Being overweight is a choice, just as being fit and trim is a choice.
Adhering to a healthy lifestyle is a WONDERFUL thing. Not something to dread, but something to look forward to and be excited about.
This IS the time to be do something fabulous for yourself. You won't regret it for a minute. Losing weight IS a doable thing after all. For everyone and anyone - yourself included. It's wonderful to realize that you really do have the power to change this. It is within your control. You hold the key.
The time I was losing weight was one of the most thrilling, fabulous times of my life. I enjoyed every single second of the self-transformation, self discovery and self growth. I urge you to find the joy in your journey as well. And you will, you WILL. When those rewards start surfacing, OMG - hold on to your seat. Those rewards are over the top fabulous! I look forward to hearing of your progress and success.
