My starting weight is 209. I am going to try for 10 lbs. That is hard to do...I know, but I would love it if I was in Onederland for St. Pat's Day!

Hope the Luck O' the Irish are with me.

I'm in! I'm aiming for a 10 pound loss; agressive, I know, but it gives me something to work towards and will help me to stay on track. 10 pounds down by St. Pat's day!

Here is a little Irish saying to keep us going:

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way-
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.


Kosh: I am calorie counting, writing everything down that goes in my mouth, exercising at least 5 times a week, wearing a pedometer, and of course posting here as much as I can. My aim is to keep focused on my plan. For exercise, I use a treadmill, elliptical, and wii fit. I have been trying to add in weight training with 5 lb weights because I am really slowing down on weight loss now. I need to kick it up a bit. Some of us have also been using another exercise thread to log in our exercise. You can post a goal of how much exercise you want to try and do. This helps to keep focused on that area. I started a new one called "Working our way to the end of the rainbow." I think that even a little exercise helps. So just add in a little at a time.

YOO HOO Christian...Where are you?

I'm in. Hi, everyone. My goal will be 5 lbs. If I could just lose ONE and get off the world's longest plateau, I'll be pleased.

My start weight is 171 and my goal is 8 lbs. Something to work toward!! Here we go. I have been good today and went for a 35 minute run.
Here's to the luck o' the Irish!!

Good afternoon everyone

I am looking forward to seeing everyone from our last thread and also getting to know everyone. Happy day 1 of our new challenge to all. My goal is to lose 10lbs. by the end of our challenge.

THe visit at my parents house went well today, all is well. No exercise as of yet today and I feel tuckered but the day isn't over yet. I will come back and post in the exercise thread tomorrow when I am more rested.

Hattie, I hope your feeling better.

I must run but will catch up with you all soon, hope everyone has a great day.

hi ladies, I came back to check in and also report my mini goal...I am striving for a 5 lb. loss from now to the end of Feb. (next 2 weeks).

Hope everyone had a great day. I took off with DH and we went for a walk and then grocery shopping so I could get all of my healthy ingredients for my dinners. If it weren't for DH giving me a push, there would of been no walk today! Okay, it's been a full day and I am hitting the couch for the night.....I owe it to myself, lol Have a great night, talk soon.
