29 July Inspirational Kim(SA)Change: Easy to say but difficult to do! But you will never become who you want to be by remaining who you are. If you are unhappy with who you are today and want to develop a new you in the future, why not make this day THE DAY you begin to make the changes necessary. It’s time to stop thinking about change and start engaging in it. The key here is to take action! Change takes more than simple willpower and desire to create change. It also takes action – mental, physical and social action. And only YOU can make that happen! Choose one thing that you would like to change and take action on it today. The beginning of that new life is only one decision away. Even though it may be difficult, the rewards are astounding and you are very much worth the effort! (Dr. John H. Sklare) 27 July Inspirational Shelly"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." Author Unknown Dont Quit (Inspirational Susan)Don't Quit - W.W. Version When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down And you feel like the biggest failure in town; When you want to give up just because you gave in And forget all about being healthy and thin; So What! You went over your points a bit; It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit! It's a moment of truth, It's an attitude change; It's learning the skills to get back in your range; It's telling yourself "You've done great up till now; You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow." It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal; You're still gonna make it, just stay in control. To stumble and fall is not a disgrace If you summon the will to get back in the race; But, often the struggler's when losing their grip Just throw in the towel and continues to slip And learn too late when the damage is done That the race wasn't over and they still could of won. Life-style change can be awkward and slow But facing each challenge will help you to grow; Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint in the cloud of doubt. When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit; If you bite it you write it... But Don't you quit! Author Unknown - Adapted by R.W. Brown 26 July Thinking SkinnyI have been On Plan since Monday, the day we started our Inspirational Hottie Group, and it feels good! When I wake up in the morning I even feel skinny. I know I am not there yet, but its nice to not feel bloated from the late night Taco Bell, or whatever we happen to have driven by and picked up. We are getting ready for a big yard sale to declutter, and to make sure I stay on track I included all the clothing that is either too big or is a little too comfortable and I know wont fit me in a month or so.
 I have noticed one thing that is soo inspiring to me is checking out the Hotties statistics, its almost become addictive. I look back at my 3 or 4 month hiatus and wish I wouldnt have done it... i would be soo much further along. You girls are so inspiring with your weight loss and daily inspirational messages, I am glad I have you. I love seeing your numbers drop and it encourages me to get up and do something about myself. I dont know if the plan is still in the making, but at some point in the future it would be great to meet you all and our skinny selves.25 July Is Your Glass Half Full? (Inspirational Darci)Often obsticals in our lives will derive from Problems: My theory is that instead of letting the problem cause the "glass is half empty efffect" you need to change it to. "THE GLASS IS HALF FULL" IS YOUR GLASS HALF FULL? think about it,is your glass half full and you look at the problem as a wy to get extied and have more motivation? example (if you had a gain this week are you going to get excited about the problem at hand and think of ways to resolve the problem (the one that maybe is helping gain, or not excersise etc) or are you just going to let it continue... and gain the weeks to follow. are you excited to make a LIFE CHANGE and takel those problems? and make your glass half full. acronim for problem is P uzzles R esolved O nly B y L etting E xcitment M aterialize Going clubbin...Well, I think its a good thing when I have made it to the gym two days in a row! I thought I would be sore after working with some weights yesterday, but managed to motivate myself into getting off my rear end and going to the club. I did however forget to bring in my paperwork for the personal trainer, they make you fill out a health background questionaire. I am excited to start with her and will see if she will do my measurements and then I will post them up and be able to track my progress. Its not all about the scale! One of my major goals is to lower my cholesterol! I am to go back in for a recheck in November and I would like it to be within normal range. I am off to shower, check in on my Hotties and take a nap in case I work tonight! Until then.....stay on plan, drink your water, and think skinny thoughts!

I think that I will also keep this site as a sort of journal about my weightloss. I am excited and ready to start my shrinking process, and am glad that I will have my Hotties with me.
