Hi there,
My name is Cathy. I'm new to this site and love it. Not sure how everything works yet but i'll get there. I see quite a lot of you need motivation and support so do I. Why don't we start a thread and do it together. Post daily tell me how your day is going I'll do the same even when it isn't going so well LOL. I am aiming to lose 10lbs a month and will be weighing in once a week. I've lost 2lbs this week so not too bad. I need "pushing" to start exercising simply don't have the motivation after a hard days work LOL but know I need to. Anybody with me? please post. Best Wishes, Cathy.

Hi tbbiker10,
Well done on breaking out of the 190's i'm still there. Looking at your stats you are a little bit ahead of me. Hopefully i'll be there in a couple of weeks. Don't worry about being a slow loser as long as it comes off thats the main thing! My biggest goal is to be in better shape for Christmas so we've got some time yet

Hi,
Had another good day today even exercised even if it was for only 20 minutes LOL. Tired its 10.20 (yawn). Just got weighed 194.5lbs better than the 198lbs I was the other week

Oh my goodness, I lost 7 pounds in august, Finally got out of the 190 and am stuck fluctuating 190-188 and so forth. I am an emotional eater, i have no issues exercising its the food i consume errrrrrr! It just seems so simple why so difficult but even if u didnt exercise you would still lose weight as long as your food intake was healthy but execrise does increase that loss and makes you stronger. I found the more i exercised i became addicted to the high because of how it made me feel and so therfore i continue. It is not easy to get out of bed at 6 am but its worth it if u do. If i don't get it in then i do it when my husband gets home in the evening and usually its a run i do. Was never a runner but now that i run i would neer give it up Wow the feeling i get!

just found this site today, and the push i need to get back on track!! Sucky weekend to start, being thats its a holiday weekend.....cocktail party tonight......plan on eating before I go so to be less tempted, and just found the calories of wine and beer...........sigh........ then tomorrow a Brit Bash with friends and all the beer and scotch eggs, crisps, sausage rolls ect ect ect............ I think I will take some Fresca to that one, I really like it and nice change from water, which i do at least drink alot of.......... going hiking with the dogs in the am, so that will help......... hope I'm not setting myself up to fail, not so worried about tonight, but us Brits like our beer and it will be difficult whilst surrounded by everyone else drinking and noshing tomorrow........ it doesnt bother me at home, but socially........huummm...... anyway i'm in it for the long haul.......... I'd like to lose to 15lbs........... had no clue what Zumba was, and just danced along to a youtube video......... found a class at local Y, so may have to check that out! Have walked today, its so much cooler and beautiful breeze, leaves are gently falling........ I love this time of year, dogs are loving it too! Ok, well wish me luck at the cocktail party........ I'll be thinking of everyone else who is also facing the weight loss battle, and will try to be a good girl! Any support greatly appreciated!
