Welcome Dan!!!!!!! Thinking I had too much to lose and that it'd take me forever is what got me to my heaviest weight....making small goals and building on that achievement will equal success!!! I'm still in shock that I can say I'm into the 200's!!! Whoever thought when I started last June I'd be here now!!! I know *I* didn't think so but here I am!!!!
I try to eliminate the time factor altogether....(how long it takes really does not matter) only getting there does!!!! Good luck!
