Yes! Just keep coming back, and trying to do the right things - one of these days it's going to 'click' for you. Where are these cookies and candies coming from? Can you keep them out of the house? Or have someone hide them from you? Good luck!!! 

I just sent you a buddy request. I see that you are a member of the "yellow paratrooper" squad. Your goal weight is about where my original goal weight was as my weight changed from 172 to 140. After reaching 140 I maintained at that level and then decided to push for 135. If I can do it - at a once-pear-shaped 5 feet 2 inches tall - so can you! Wanna be buddies?  

Thank you soooooooo much for accepting my buddy request! You are going to do super swell! I just know it. I will cheer you on and before you know it you are going to be in the best possible healthy shape of your life! Let's rock and roll Woman! 

You can do it!! Don't forget to come on here to get this great group motivation. Remember that everyone here is going through the same thing. We're all looking for the same kind of guidance. You will be at home! I've sat on here before for hours, not getting up until my motivation was returned. I rely completely on this site now. And it's a great self-therapy! And if your knees hurt, try slow walking until your pain goes away, so that you at least get some movement in!
