Here it goes...

Posted on May 18, 2017

On May 22, I will be turning 39 years old. Now, many women when they get to this age will say they are staying this age, like I'm 39 and holding. Except me! I'm not holding, I don't even want to think about holding anything in my life at this point. I am currently 290 pounds. I started my weightloss journey on 05/08/17 at 300 pounds. I weigh in every Monday morning, so my next one is the day before this starts which is perfect. I have lost 10 pounds so far and I want to continue to see the scale go down and the inches melt away for good.

I'm not putting any expectations on myself for this DietBet except to do my very best and see how well I can do. Hopefully, I will lose the 4% and maybe a little more. Here's to trying and a better, healthier me in the days, weeks and months to come!

You can do this! One day at a time -- small actions add up in big ways. Keep plugging away at it, and you WILL reach your goal. Great job already!! :-)

Well..I am 53 and feel the same. I weigh 250 and I'm started today, well to be honest I started dieting when I hit 150 for the first time and have been gaining since...lol. I remember when I saw 150 on the scale it shocks me, then I was comfortable with it...it that is how I handled every 10 lb milestone...then last month I went to the doctors and saw 250!!! I missed a few weigh ins...the last time I weighed myself I was 220..and that was upsetting but I got over it...but the big 250..hit me like a wrecking ball. So here I am..

I totally understand. I was the same when I saw 300 on my scale! I about died. I was speechless. Then I took a picture of it and that was that. I threw all the junk food that was mine away in the house and went cold turkey on the no soda or tea. I am in this for a BETTER ME! Good luck hun!
