Lose weight with me!

I want to lose 40 lbs by November 1, 2009. I've been overweight for 8 years now, and I am starting to feel like I will never be thin again. However, I do not want to give up!

I know I have to change the way I think about my weight loss. I need to stay positive, be patient, and strong-willed . I also need to be disciplined so I will continue to do the things I need to do everyday, like: 1) go to the gym, 2) eat the right foods, 3) keep a food diary, 4) restrict calories, 5) get 7-8 hours of sleep everyday, and 6) practice stress reduction.

I would like to form a group of positive people to support and encourage each other on our weight loss journey by being strong instead of whiny and negative.

" I'll support you :-). I've been dieting for around a month now and I've managed to lose 5lb so are. I need to lose another 18lbs yet though. I'm following a GI diet using a day-to-day meal plan using the http://www.tescodiets.com/index.cf... webiste. It's cost money but it's been worth it so far. Add me as a friend if you think it'll help, whatever you choose to do. "
