good for you! That is an awesome dream and also an awesome breakfast that you had! You can do it, we can do it together! 

You go girl! You can do it. Don't forget to get in an exercise for the day. 

Way to get back on the wagon! I have dreams like that too. It sucks when I wake up! 

I am like you and need to lose 100+ pounds, would love to be your buddy and we could do it together. I check my site everyday/ 

you go girl...your dream will come true....don't forget to drink the water..good Luck to you.. 

good for u!! welcome back...u can do this 

I check out my site everyday too.We're all in this together.Keep looking up it will happen,your dream will come true in time. 

It’s a battle that we can all relate too. You are doing great because the first step is to set your goals and you have already done that now you just have to make it happen and together on this website there are so many that are shooting for the same goal we will all come together and succeed in this weight loss journey. I thought about the buddy thing and then said to myself what are the chances she will be my buddy since there are so many comments already. Then I remembered a story my husband once told me. In a small village there was a new family that just lost the little they had. They whet to the village head and beggingly asked how will they survive with no water. So the village head had a suggestion and set an empty barrel in the center of town and asked that each family just put one drop of water inside the barrel. The next morning the village head and the poor family arrived to the barrel site to their disappointment there was not one drop of water in the barrel. When the village head asked the people why had they not given any they all commented one after another. We thought what one less drop of water in the barrel could possibly be missed. So the head said because you all thought that way now there is none. This has been a great lesson for me in life with just about anything and everything I do and I believe we can all learn from this. Even in our weight loss journey. I have been fat and called fat since I was 12 and I do not want to take that anymore. I am now 25 and I am determined not to let food control my life but for me to control the food and my healthy lifestyle that I have chosen.
