OK. I didn't even WANT to try to lose weight durring December! I figured it would just set me up for failure. There was NO way I could be good! So now the holidays are over, and I want/NEED to lose the weight. I am about 215-220 and 5'7". I also had a back fusion in April, and have had a screw break durring recovery. So I have constant back pain. That dosen't help in the area of exersize! I am addicted to food in the worst way. I just hope that I can acomplish this. It's not like I can do arobic excersize. My goal is to lose the weight by my son's wedding which will probably be in about a year and a half. I'm thinking 60 to 70 pounds!!!

Hi Cupowater and welcome, sorry to hear of your back pain. I see you have noticed Jacks 100 day thread. What it is is to try and abstain from obvious sugars/sweets and i have to say it is helping me. I didn't want to be weight obsessed and only weigh in every three or four weeks and i find that it helps me have a healthier outlook and i am losing weight. Other foods are still causing me problems though and that is something i have to work on. Best wishes in your battle.

I currently weigh 247 & am 5'9 1/2". This is only 3 lbs less than when I delivered my last child 2.5 years ago. Every January I get back to this point to try it again. I did lose 6 lbs through the month of Dec., but am struggling right now. Have not been totally honest with myself or with the program I am working & actually have not even worked it in over a week. I am planning a Jan 1st AGAIN. Sorry to hijack this & make it about me...it is not...it is about all of us who struggle. Let's all get it together this year. Let's make this the last year of this baloney (literally). Let's make healthy choices ... one at a time. Think every food choice through, work our programs (really work them), forgive ourselves if we have a bad moment & make a better choice the very next one!!!!! Let's do it!!!!! I know we can!!!

Welcome cupowater !!!! I'm so glad that you decided to join us here. I'm also needing to start over. I haven't been coming here often enough and I can tell because I'm struggling alot more than I was. So keep coming back as often as possible. It'll make a world of difference. Thanks SSP for being so encouraging to us all. And I'm in too.

I need to get back on track too. I've been eating too much, and I seem to be falling back into the habit of sweets too. I need to drop 25 to 30 lbs. Good luck to us all in the new year with our goals!!

MyGraySkies, We'd all love it if you considered joining us on the 100 day thread also. I think that you'd really benefit from it just as alot of us have. The more, the merrier !!!!
