Good morning all,
I just wanted to stop by for a minute & tell you all that I'm back on the weight loss bandwagon. I was very successful last year, lost a lot of weight, then really lost steam for following my plan. I just stopped tracking my calories & it was so easy to let it go.

I was very pleased when I finally stepped back on the scale this week, to see that I'd only gained three pounds in all of my slacking.

I've got four days POP under my belt & am excited to see the changes in my body that are waiting for me, right around the corner.

I started in a size 32W, now I'm wearing a 22W. My goal right now is to get into 18W.

Really I think I just wanted to solidify my new commitment to myself, by jumping back in here & telling others that I'm working my plan!

Good for you. This is the perfect place to be accountable as we can be perfectly honest without fear of being judged. You have done so well so far.....keep at it!

Welcome back! Remember, it's not how many times you fall down, but how many times you get back up again. Congrats on making this wonderful choice for yourself

Thanks y'all!

I'm glad to be back. I know I can do this.

I haven't forgotten the mantras I learned last year doing this, namely this one, "Being fat is hard, losing weight is hard, maintaining your weight is hard. Choose your hard"

I think I'll have this tattooed to my forehead. This is wonderful.
