No More Excuses


I like the idea of finding the "old" person I used to be, while finding a new better version me.

UPDATE (1/3/18): After getting within a couple pounds of my goal weight (and loving being a size 2!), I plateaued for bummer reasons (some out of my control and some not)... and then regained about 25 lbs.

I am a survivor of childhood abuse. I am not a victim and I carry no shame for what was done to me.

I am a survivor of depression. I am not a victim and I will not let that define me.

I believe God has given me the chance to use those two experiences to reach out to others. I will without hesitancy reach out and pull up.

To be happier and more hopeful, I know I must exercise daily and eat well.

    Thank you for your comment on my "Honesty Check" blog. It's nice to know that I can be honest, let my feelings out and not get judged for slipping on my program.

    I added you as a friend. I look forward to getting to know you.

    Laura,
    Welcome to the Partnership Accountability to the Finish Line team! We are happy to have you with our team. Please feel free to introduce yourself to the team, if you have not already done so. Be sure to read the thread: "Click Here: To help find a partner and learn what to do next". It will help you find someone who has similar goals, likes, dislikes, or someone close to your age if you prefer. You will both be able to support, encourage, and just be there for each other, while on your way in reaching your goals. Feel free to add your birthday or anniversary to our list under the "fun" forum.

    If you need help finding someone or need help of any kind, please let me know, as I am here to help you in anyway I can. Hope you enjoy this team and are able to achieve any goals you might have on this team or any others you might join.

    Hey thanks for stopping by my page...I see we are in about the same boat. Seems like we have a long way but we can do it. I'm sure of it. I set mini goals for myself that way the whole 38 pounds doesnt sound so exhausting. Instead 5 pounds at a time doesnt seem so hard.

    Hope you do great and the weight just falls off you. Ill keep checking to see how your doing.
