Sor she said if you weight 188 (I wish) on January 1, then your goal for February 1 would be to weight 180. March 1 would be to be at 172 and so on throughout the next year. Then write a short diary on how you got there and your plans to keep going. I am going to try that. Seems easy enough broken down in the small goals like that rather than looking to lose 50 pounds.

OK, so I've been luring in the background. You guys are a real chatty group, didn't read this post yesterday and took me an hour to catch up on everything.
You are all doing fantastic!!! and are so encouraging to one another, you all deserve a big applause. (can you hear me clapping?)
I have 25 pounds to lose, it may not be much but it is really hard for me to lose. I've been reading all your tips and will incorporate some of them into my daily regeame. I can't use any of the low cal/low fat produces not only do they taste awful but low cal products are not good for my Fibromyalgia. Being in constant pain requires me to exercise moderately like everything else in daily living.

At 150 calories per Dr. Pepper you will save 55000 calories in a year, that is 15 pounds just by not drinking soda :)

I did a drastic change for my body. I was drinking one Dr. Pepper a day and now i am drinking none and 128 ounces of water...I believe this will make a great jump start on the 118 total I have to loose. My first goal is 14 pounds so let's see what happens.
