Starting a healthy lifestyle is the hardest part of losing weight. Keeping it off is easy. Why? Because once you've seen the results of your hard work and persistence and love your body and how you feel as a healthier person, chocolate or fast food or whatever your food vice may be isn't that tempting anymore. I think of how far I've come and the amount of time I spent exercising (which I believe is THE key to weight loss) and I don't want to undo any of it. There is a certain feeling of accomplishment and pride, and that really devalues any pleasure you get from eating junk. Trust me.

There will be failures and bad days, but you have to put yourself back on track. So what if your will power was weak and you ate an extra serving? You learn from the experience and try not to do it again. Progress.

You sound like you're ready to take on the challenge! All the best to you! You can do it.

I took the plan of dividing my weight loss into chapters. I'm European so I do this in kilos. I was 80 kilos (160 cm height), and I decided that I would go down to 75 and from 75 to 70 and so on. Always 5 kilos a in some amount of time I give my self. I have good days and bad days, but now I'm 74, so I just started my second chapter. This makes me very happy because I reach a goal sooner that just going for 60 kilos. And I eat, but more healthy and less than before.

So you go girl, impossible is nothing! It's just the matter of changing how you think and how you feel.

I am a tall girl so shopping will never have the same effect on me, 6'1", as other women. My goal is to fit the jeans in my closet that come down to the floor when I wear boots and make my ass look great, they might be 14's or so. I am a full month in and I have made a bit of progress. I can make it up the 7 flights of stairs to my apt without breaking a sweat or feeling like my lungs are on fire, I have asthma. So, count me in as a cheerleader/teammate. I would love it if you updated weekly too.

Weekly posts would be awesome. I go between havng tons of willpower and then binging on all the wrong foods. Not fun. I'm not crazy overweight but losing 20-30 pounds would be amazing, and i would like to do so before the summer preferably. Can't wait to hear how you're doing! Good luck!!

Praying that one day I'll wake up and the 18s won't cut off my circulation.

Weekly posts sound like a good idea and I'd love to tag along, maybe it'll be a good thing!
