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.

" Just wanted to add my comments on your journey of weight loss. I myself have been trying to lose weight and I have done very well for myself. I have done it all at home with eating right and working my ass off. But it is finally starting to pay off. Please let me know if I can help you in anyway. Nicole "

" Hey guys so this was a big week for me and I wanted to share with everyone my success. This week I broke the 200 mark in pounds, I am at 199. Also I broke the 40 inch waist mark, I am a 39. When I started at this I was 226 lbs and a 49 inch waist. If we put our minds to it we can all achieve our goals! Good luck everyone :) "

" Hi all, I just joined this group. I have been through a very hurtful separation and divorce. I also suffer from lower back problems and find it hard to exercise or even get my work around the house and yard done. I have been suffering from depression despite meds. Needless to say the less I do the more depressed I get and the more eating I do and on and on. Just a vicious cycle. I would love to going with all of you today, to give and receive support, exchange diets and information. I'd love to lose 50 lbs as that's what I've gained in the past 1 1/2 yrs. Don't know what would be realistic by Christmas but sure would great if I could lose at least 10-20 lbs. Good luck to all of you.

Hugs "
