Ready or not it's time to start!!!!
Bethie,
Not sure how much you are wanting to lose but GO FOR IT! What ever it is. You can not think of what you are doing as a diet. Not to sound like like a clique but it must be a "lifestyle change" for it to work. I have lost 137# and countin. I believe it is more mental than physical. Every day is a concious choice to succeed. Change is also a necessity in fat loss. FAT LOSS not weight loss!!! START today and don't quit till you reach your goals!! GOALS inspire you and they stoke your desire to be the person you want to be!! With out the desire failure is is option. How bad do you want it? (a healthy and fit life). Start today don't procrastinate. You'll never be READY to start so force the issue and GO.
Good Luck to you!!!!
