As Promised I have added my before pics. I SOOOO didnt want to, but looking at them made me realize that this is NOT a joke. I need to start this journey again no matter WHAT. I started a journal thread so feel free to check my statistics tab.

My Pics aren't public so you'll have to add me to get a gander. :-) I'm horrified and excited, so all of you who need motivation and help like me, I'd LOOOVE to meet ya :-) I'll try to post the same date every month so I can be held accountable (lol i'll even set an alarm on my Crackberry)

:seeya: Come Say Hi

good luck!!!! I was 202 ( I am 5'2 as well) in May 2007, and 185 lbs when I joined this forum..After trying for over a year and a half to lose, where I lost/then gained/lost the same 35 pounds over and over, I am now about 1/2 way to my goa weightl. It has taken forever, but if you don't lose hope it can work. Just don't get discouraged if you have a bad week, or even bad month. That's what happens to me, I gain back a few pounds, then I end up feeling so badly I just say 'screw it' and gain 20 pounds back. Whats enabled me to start keeping weight off is going right back on my diet after a bad day (like last week I had a day in which I ate 5000 calories!!!!), and not giving up. It is SO hard for me when I cheat, because I get addicted to sugar/fat really easily and crave it, but if I go right back on the diet it limits those cravings. Everyone cheats, I know I will again for sure, it just helps not to beat yourself up about it. Sorry I rambled on haha just some advice that I've recently learned actually works (for me, anyway), good luck again!

OMGGGG I SOOOO do that, thats something I need help with and need to learn to cope with, the not beating myself up over messing up.:ack2: I dunno, if its being a perfectionist or just thinking my journey will be easy (lol which i know better)
OMG You're doing soo great and thank you for the advice, I needed to hear it.
