And thank you for sharing such an important and personal part of your journey.<br /><br />I'm also embarking on a quest to reach a healthy lifelong weight through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Current goal is to lose 50lbs. Learning the importance of consistency, finding things you love, and having strong motivating incentives to keep myself going.Ifyhttp://ifyokoye.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532540341317754701.post-90789055088566775532012-04-29T21:30:01.580-04:002012-04-29T21:30:01.580-04:00Congratulations Eileen! :)Congratulations Eileen! :)A.

You have gotten this far and now know a lot of the reasons that you haven't lost weight in the past and now am doing something about it. I need to get inspired to do the same for me. It will be hard to do but with me going out to see your mom this week and her eating better I hope that I come back healthier than what I am now. She has told me if I can't stick to what she says I can just stay home. I WANT to start eating healthier and walking more and can always find a reason here not to do it and am hoping that a change of scenery will help me. Hope to be able to post that when I get back I'm lighter, can keep it off and even lose more once I get home.Ricki Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786816113345265331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532540341317754701.post-84321422436489241462012-04-29T19:13:03.139-04:002012-04-29T19:13:03.139-04:00Congrats!
