Hi,

I get really excited for everyone who is chosen for the teams.  I want to support the teams, and in turn obtain helpful tips towards my own efforts from the message board participants.  My goal is to lose 85 lb.  I'm 62, 5" 2", and weigh 235 lb.  I wish everyone the best results possible.   GO TEAMS GO!!

Hi,

I too work in the healthcare field, and need to lose 85 lb.  You would think with all that we see, we would run to the gym.  I am so afraid that I will develop a serious illness, or die prematurely.  It is a mystery to me, how I can set my mind to anything else I wish to attain, but fail miserably in the health department.  My weight and height is almost the same as yours, but I am 62 .  I'm about to retire and continue to work part-time.  I'm excited to have more time to myself.  I will watch the message board, and try to be helpful and supportive.  Here's to everyone's better health!!

Hi,

I can really relate to your message.  I have suffered with depression and weight issues for many years.  I'm happy to say that the depression is under control thanks to medication.  Now if I can just get my act together and work on my health.  I'm looking for support and inspiration through this medium.  In return, I will pass on my encouragement and successes in hope of helping others with the same goal.  All the best to you!

Hi,

I felt sadness as I read your message.  It's very diffucult to measure up to other peoples expectations.  People who criticize others are needing help themselves.  Often they are lacking self-confidence, and tear other people down to build themselves up.  Sometimes you have to be your own best friend!  I plan to compose and recite a positive message for myself, which I will repeat each morning and whenever I feel weakened.  For example, I might repeat to myself " I am worh it, and I can do it, so get 'er done."  There is going to be and is now, some inspiring messages to read.  So stay tuned  and we will all help one another reach our goals.
