Default Hi Everyone!

Forgiveness - this is what I had to do with my weight and with my emotional state from loosing my Mom when I was 24 and then later in life coming to terms with not being able to have children. I have lost 45 pounds since I started this journey. I have discovered that in order to keep weight off, I must have a purpose and I have realized that I want to help others lose weight - spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. I started dieting right after Christmas of this year...weighed in at Curves on January 30th at 208...weighed in at the FMH Wellness Center on February 20th at 205. I am on the Outlook Diet Program. I used to say "I am so stressed" as an excuse to eat but now I am recognizing real stress and am able to move through it without intaking M&M's or Marie Calendars Fettucine which is really amazing to me. I still have negative feelings but like they say at FMH this is not a destiny, this is a journey. I truly am experiencing joy and victory!!

Aphiemi, welcome!

Have you discovered the Featherweights forum yet? That's a forum for those that are close to their goal weight, like you. You might also enjoy the Maintainers forum...plenty of good ideas and support there for keeping the weight off long term. Congrats on your weight loss so far!
