Beginning
Well, here starts my fat journal to track my progress. It is probably silly, but maybe I’ll see what goes wrong-or right along the way. I started yesterday on Slim-Fast. I need to add exercise really bad, but haven’t yet. Started @ 254.5 lbs and seemed to manage to add 1 more lb today. Up to 255.5lbs. today. That’s ok so far. I did ok yesterday. Had three extreme food cravings. I carry pennies in my pocket to keep track. Move 1 from right pocket to left. I did ok until eve. Then I had 2 tomato sandwiches on texas toast, 4 mcnuggets, & a handful of daughter’s french fries. Doesn’t sound too horrible, but I was trying to avoid ff all together. Failed on that one. I did manage to NOT eat again when hub had Sonic for supper @ 10pm. I was full. Noticed a missing slimfast. I think hub took it. He hasn’t mentioned it & neither have I. Trying to not make it “official”.
Emotionally–I feel fat & lazy. I’m fed up & ready to fix it. Deteremined I can, but scared 2 admit I’m trying. I’ve tried so many times & failed. I no longer care about having a “perfect” body. I want to feel good. That’s all.

You can do this! Make a plan and stick to it! You will find a lot of encouragement and support here and if you haven’t done so yet, I would also encourage you to join one of the weight loss challenge teams (we have an opening on the Wild Cats team I believe). This provides me with the extra support and motivation to keep at it. It really is important to add the exercise element into your plan as to lose weight and keep it off you need to get some cardio in about 5x per week. Start off small–just a walk around the block. It’s amazing how much better you will feel. I started a healthier lifestyle on Feb. 21st–I weighed 281 pounds that day, and am now down to 196. I feel so much better and am still working hard to get to my goal weight. I know you can do this!!!! Best wishes to you!
Mollys, how do I join the Wild Cats? I just found this by chance because I thought a little connection would help. There seems to be absolutely NO weightwatchers or Jennys in this area. That is amazing that you’ve done so good! Very encouraging to meet you on my very first day on here!
If you are interested in joining the Wild Cats, I will let our leader, Cindy, know and she will e-mail you with the information. Would you like me to do that? We are a great group–you start to feel like family over time. We just had two members who left the team because they met their goal weights–that is so exciting and motivating to the rest of us!
I see you live in Kansas…I’m right next door (sort of) in Missouri!
Yaa, I was just seeing that we aren’t that far apart location wise. I would LOVE to get an email from Cindy! Like I said, I just stumbled across this gem, and I’m VERY excited.
I’ll let her know–it is sometimes late at night before she gets back online so don’t worry if you don’t receive something early this evening from her!
