Hi Everyone,

I am trying to lose weight again. About 2 years ago I managed to lose 42 pounds. I was feeling really good about myself and the weight coming off. All of a sudden I just stopped. I reverted back to my old ways and I have no idea why. Now I'm back. I have just decided about an hour ago that I am going to be thin! I am going to be a loser :o) I am going to the grocery store tonight to buy "my" food. Last time I did it, I didn't use any programs, I just did my own way, eating healthier foods, but not limiting anything. Smaller portions, healthier way of doing things, water and exercise. I am going to get to my goal weight of 135. I would like to do it by my wedding day, September 24, 2005. Maybe I won't get there then, But as long as I'm still losing then I won't care. I have a LONG way to go though... Looking foward to getting to know all of you.

Hi Michelle, Welcome! Boy, when you make up your mind, you sure move fast! But when your mind's made up, that's the time to strike. Congratulations on making that decision. I'm doing exactly what you did the last time. I'm doing it on my own as well. I'm trying to make healthier choices, eating smaller portions, and drinking lots of water. I also try to exercise 4 to 5 times a week. You lost the weight before, so you know you can do it. Come here often, the people here are great. Good luck with your weight loss and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
