Can I do It?

Hi guys.
Since January I have been on again off again dieting and exercising. As some of you may or may not know this past year I have been recovering from brain surgery, so I have put on a lot of weight since surgery. I am trying to take it off. I have taken off 20lbs so far. I am at the weight I was before I went for surgery.
I have 40 more lbs to goal weight however and I would like to do it by Feb of 04. Do you guys think I can do it?!?!
More then anything I think I am just looking for words of encourgament

Re: Can I do It?

I give you all the credit for recovering AND losing 20 pounds...I am having a hard time with that...

If you keep coming on here, you'll see that everyone is so supportive...

I sometimes feel that it helps me stay on track if I contribute to the slimdown threads...

good luck!!

You can do it. You just have to think to yourself that you want to do this for you and only you. Keep it up and you will be there. Just let the weight come off slowly, and you will see longer results.
Best of luck...keep us informed

Re: Can I do It?

Absolutely!!! You obviously already have inner strength for having gone through and recovered from major surgery as well as already losing 20 lbs. You can lose 4 -5 lbs a month no problem if you follow a good eating and exercise plan.
Go girl!

Re: Can I do It?

Set your mini-goals, that will help SO much. Write them down, and keep them in sight and fresh in your mind. It's great motivation.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Re: Can I do It?

First, congrats on losing 20 lbs!!!!

Try to keep motivated by enjoying your accomplishments as well as looking towards your goals. I agree about focusing on smaller short term goals. WW has you do 10% goals. Or maybe you can set a few timeframe goals. Like the end of the summer, the holidays. You can totally do it!
