Oh how I long to be BOTT this new day, this new week, even be BOT for a month, I haven't known that feeling of accomplishment in years. Please let it start this day, this hour, this minute, this second. ......... This is the cry of a lady feeling so defeated by her 40 lbs gain, and so scared this trend is not going to stop, not going to turn around.... Kathy

Less 150 lbs

Kathy,
you can do it. I usually put smaller goals. Like 10 lbs at a time.
You can do it. It takes a lot - but you know what to do.
40 lbs is just - that. First 10 - shall be quick - if you can cut most simple carbs. And start drinking a lot of water. After that - you can approach 5 lbs at a time...

Kathy, I am so proud of you for reaching out. You did it before I even had a chance to read your post from Saturday. See I saw my name and I went to that post 1st. Well I usually see what was posted in between my posts anyways since I try to post regularly. See my other emails to you. You can do this!! I am sending you positive thoughts now you have to say it over and over to yourself so you really believe it also......:-)

You can do it. and believe me you are not the only one in this position. I believe when kids are back in school the boards will be more active. If not a few of us are here regularly. Hala is here more than me and I love her new thing of setting goals and checking in.

Keep up the good work, you are on your way Kathy!!
