Talking I did the hardest part!

I walked in and signed up!!! I got on that scale!!! And I pre-paid for 10 weeks!!! I also bought the organizer, the two food books and the points manager/calculator.

I spent enough money to ensure that I know that I am committed!!!!

My first weight in was a little tough. I can't believe that I am spitting distance from 300 lbs. Well - all I can say is "No sireee-Bob. Not me. I'm not going there."

Thanks to everyone for their support yesterday. I'm really looking forward to posting more!

Congratulations on taking that tough first step! You sound like you have the right attitude about this lifestyle change and should make it to goal.

May I make a suggestion....keep a journal or notebook of these thoughts and refer to them often when those times come that may test your vision. It'll help. Also, take before pictures and measurements. These will help when you feel the scales aren't moving fast enough. Scales may not move, but the measurements will.....this will pull you through the rough times (let's hope you won't have them!). This is something I wish I would have done when I started. Just a thought.

Best wishes and keep coming here for help and support.

Karen

Default Thanks for the idea Karen...

I do have a 'before' picture (a picture that I saw recently and didn't even recognize myself in) and a 'goal' picture (a picture of me when I was much thinner).

I think I'll get my mom to help me with the measurements!

Thanks a million!!!!!!!!
