Starting over in 2007
31
Mon, 12-04-2006 - 12:02pm
I am 47 years old, my weight is 310# and it's time to get all this weight off. I have over 150# to lose. Events coming in 2007 are pushing me to get started and motivaed.
30th wedding anniversary
30th class reunion
2 family weddings
So I thought if I started to chat with others like me I would have somethig to do when I want to eat. ( and that is most all the time. )
I am not going to weigh myself til 01/01/07. BUT I am going to start walking 20 minutes two times a day. Want to join me amd make 2007 the year we finally take off pounds and get fit!

I would love to join your mission. LOL! I am so frustrated at myself for not being able to take off the weight. I am 36 and weight 290. I have an 8yo son who I cant even play with and it is beginning to weight very heavily on me. So if it is alright to join I could use the support and motivation and would love to support and motivate others.

Thanks so much Dani. Yes it is my first time. I feel like you, I dont want to be the mom who just sits and watches. I really feel it more since my son had his brain hemorrhage last year and was put on no activity at all until last month. In watching him be house and tv bound he has put on so much weight and I realized that I need to lose and set the example for him. So I am going to diet and start exercising and get him to exercise with me. I homeschool my 3 children and run a home daycare so it should be fun. I will need much encouragement and pray for guidance and strength from God that I can stick to my guns. I have very little will power and tend to eat when I get emotional.

This is to all, I just got home and jump on line to see who's here.
Hello to Rhonda and welcome. I have only been here 1 week and I have found that it is helping. You being at home all the time, with extra children this will be your escape and we will be here any time day & night.
I sure hope you can find time to take a walk it will help in so many ways!
Dani,78lbs. if I missed that fact I acknowledge it now. I have lost 30-45lbs before but have put it back on. This year I didn't do as good as you BUT with this group I am.
What is the plan you are on?
Everyone, take it one day at a time, Christine
