Question:
Why do I really want to lose weight? Is it for others or myself? Many of us would pick more than 1 but be honest with yourself and pick the 1 that you think of most often.

(Guess What? If you reach goal-you can have most of these if not all. So when you don't want to exercise or reach for that burger/fries come back (including myself) and remind yourself- Why am I trying to lose weight, again.)

193 by 2003, Start 213.5

Choices:
For (physical-walk) medical reasons.
For (mental-depression) medical reasons.
More energy! Play w/ kids/dogs-sports.
Look Hot! Turn heads. Make them say "WOW"
Don't need to lose-Just trying to maintain.

 

As you can tell-my signature that I posted yesterday showed up. I do need to lose weight. I recently had a physical and everything is correct working order (Thank God) I do want to turn my husband head again (like before-married him weighing apx 115 lbs. )

Cindy,

I know what you mean about weighing less when you married. I weighed 125. My highest weight was 292.
Now I am at 260. My goal is 130, which means I
need to lose an average-size woman!
I am starting to have physical problems from being overweight this long. Fortunately, Oxycise seems to be helping me and it is something I can physically do. I could not keep up the aerobic exercises and walking was not easy either. As I lose weight it amazes me the "little things" that I notice. I feel so great when I can get into a pair of pants that I haven't worn in several years. I am praying that I go all the way this time. I have a good start, but in the past I haven't stayed with anything long enough to see a big loss. That is why this forum is soooo important to me. I need the help & support of all of you and in return I hope I can help someone else.

START WGHT=292(June,2002)
CURRENT WGHT=260
POUNDS LOST=32
INCHES LOST=32 3/4
GOAL WGHT=125

You have helped me more than you could guess. I can't thank you enough for sending me that private post. As I told Karen, I more likely than not would have had a much longer break from O! than I did, were it not for you. Thank you for caring enough to look for me.

I hope I can be of some support to you if/when you need it.

Take care everyone, and KEEP BREATHIN'!
