helleva im counting down. we r on our way to change, step one, step two, now step three. wow

stormwarning, thanks ur rt not easy but worthwhile, i hope. .... oh to weigh less than 200lbs would be everything to me rt now.. but to be 140 would be God sent. pressing towards the mark.

well hello MILKD how are you. seems as if we do have a lot in common. i hope all goes well with you and i both on the 24th. challenges and victories together.

laceylove it is a combination of feelings. Congrats on decision. this forum has helped me tremendously. keep telling yoursrlf why it is necessary to invest in you. the hardest challenge for me was to stop putting everyone before me. learn to say no. n dont feel guilty, about choosing YOU. this time

hi velena. Congratulations on decision and taking the first steps. it is a journey with lots of mixed emotions. fear, doubt, anticipation, questions like what am i doing, why cant i just do this on my own, ect.. just know u r doing this for u. Stay focused n positive. i ride this rollercoaster daily. but i am determined to conquer this weight n health issues.

congratulations july 11 sleevers, rest n enjoy the journey. keep us posted. prayers r with u.

i got the news monday that i will have surgery july 24. i do want the change in my life but i keep asking myself why can't i just loose the weight on my own. why has it come to this. i can usually just drop pounds. so for the last wk i have been having migraines. i guess i just don't want to fail. is this normal to feel this way.
