Topic : Join the 100 Pound Club

Hi I live in Yakima,Washington and i am looking for some support,anyone out there?

I need to learn how to eat breakfast and lunch but it's a hard habit to break when your not hungry till dinner or nothing sounds good so you just go without.

Well here I go again, but this time I have to do it to save my life.  I need to loose 100 pounds, and I need to apply all the knowlege and tools that I have accumulated for the last 50 years.  I am now 51 and ready to make big changes and get this weight off once and for all.  I am somewhat limited in my physical strength and mobility, which is another problem (not an excuse).  I will find ways to excercise. 

Right now, I am going on an 14 day alaskan cruise and do not want to come back needing to loose even more.  I need to be held accountable.  I will report back what my weight LOSS will be after the cruise.

Thank you for this support. 

Hi, Donna, my name is Cynthia.  You are not alone, I am 48 with 2 kids.  My youngest is a freshman at college, so I am a empty nester for the 1st time, being a single mother that is lonely feeling.  We can be  weight loss buddies.  I am pre-diabetic too and also have high blood pressure.  I have knee and back problems.  I have support, but you know you always wonder if they really understand.  It would be nice to have someone to converse with.

Today was an extreemly difficult day at work. I am in such a terrible amount of physical pain from all this weight I am dragging around with me all the time. I just want to cry. I did very well with my eatting today, and do feel good about that. I am 5 foot 4 and weigh 247 pounds. :0(

Years ago, I lost 100 pounds. I kept it off for about four years and then eventually slacked off on my exercise and self control and here I am again. But I am not defeated, I know I can do this and that I must do this or I may have a heart attack ..... I feel like I'm on the verdge of it all the time. I want to be able to come here and say how I really feel, no pretence. I want to read how others are doing and be encouraged by it and feel friendship. I wish everyone here great health and success. Hugs to you all. :0)

We're about the same age!  I have 109 lbs to lose. I have a stressful job too and I can relate to coming home and just sitting.  We're tried. You can do this!  We are all going to be healthy and look good next year.  Have a great weekend.  Hopefully full of rest and exercise. I always feel so much better when I exercise.
