Need positive vibes for 40 kilo weight loss.....

[Daisybeck]

Yes, I'm, HUGE. I'm a 5'5 female, 35 years and I weigh 102 kilos (that's about 224 pounds). I need to lose about 40 kilos (88 pounds) to be in a healthy weight range. I call them my 40 kilos of excess unhappiness! I moved house two years ago and I loathe the town I'm in. My neighbours on both sides are awful (always drunk, screaming, fighting etc) and I have no privacy in my back yard. I have no family near by and I have failed to make any close friends.

So for the past two years I've been literally eating my unhappiness and I have ballooned like crazy.

I'm in the southern hemisphere and we're moving into Summer and daylight savings starts this weekend which means I will have enough daylight time after work to get out and walk around and let nature help me heal and drop the weight. Please send some good vibes my way....

Bright blessings,

Bec.

224 lbs? Ha, I outweigh you. But we'll all get to where we want, in the end. I'll be sending good thoughts to you. Have you tried using sparkpeople.com to motivate you? I'm a sucker for any kind of point-tracking system (hello, details) so this was perfect for me. Plus, it's free to join. Anyway, if you do decide to join (and I am well aware that I sound like a shill for the website) you can look me up @ drawingthemoon, okay? Whatever you decide to do, though, congratulations on making the right choice and getting healthy! You can do it!

Hi there!

I'm already well on my way and have lost 5 kilos since I posted this thread. I'm just eating more sensibly and walking for an hour five nights a week and it's working nicely. It's all mind over matter really. I took a 'before' pic before I started and will post another one at the end which is still eight months away. It'll be interesting to see the comparison. It's amazing what a little willpower and personal 'magick' can do!
