Its the first day of a new year and I look forward to dropping the rest of what I need to drop to hit my goal of 275 pounds. 165 pounds gone in 08 and the rest will follow in 09, that I promise! it has been a hectic month for us around here with a new home and lots of other stuff and its nose to the grind stone time again, I am looking forward to seeing everyone reach their goals in 09.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. I am getting ready for work but saw this post, and had to reply. I am hoping to loose another 50 pounds this year. I have been POP since Christmas, so here is to another great year.
I am not new to 3FC but I thik I am now a calorie counter I got a Body Bugg for Chanukah and it by default counts calories.
I have been sort of on program for about 3 weeks although the scale has not budged. I am sure it is the amount of crap around my house with the kids home, guests and parties I am not that good at passing it by AND I am a grazer so a chip here a peice of chocolate there is adding up.
I am exercising and my BB is telling me I have a deficite, assuming that I am tracking calories in correctly. Anyway, I want a place to post and I will keep with it even if the scale dosent move, I pledge to try to treat myself well this year and care about myself the way I care about my family..
Happy New Year!
Thanks Bargoo, assuming you are talking to me I should have introduced my self as Linda, My dog is Dixie, a 3 year old black lab who keeps me walking and I thank her for that every day I just wish she cooked low cal meals that would keep me out of the kitchen grazing, but alas she would eat it all too

Happy New Year everyoane!
I 'm hoping that i'll reach my goal, 2008 wasn't bad but i know i could have done so much more, i lost 70 lbs but i still have at least 30 lbs more to go...and i feel that is so much harder now...i must exercise more
wishing you all good luck , health and hapiness!
Happy New Year, everyone! Last night was my last hurrah of 2008 - and good riddance to it! I just started my journey in the middle of December, so I expected no great losses and lost 7 lbs as of this morning, since December 7th. Calorie counting and walking every day!
Keep with it, and here's to much loss of poundage in 2009!
HI...I am hapy with what i accomplished in 08 and cant wait to rid my body of the rest of the excess weight in 09. I really slacked off on exercise in the fall and have done much better since Christmas.
Tomorrow is my magic day to start losing again. It will be a year since I started this weight loss journey. 54 pounds gone (at least before Christmas there were). Sooooooooo, it begins again in a few short hours. Oh, and I got a digital food scale for Christmas so I'm all set to get the most accurate measurements of the food I eat.
Dgramie, the days are getting closer to DD's wedding. You must be getting excited, worried, anxious, happy, sad-- all those things.
I was on this wonderful board and had great success at losing weight and staying motivated. Then I let other stuff get in the way and well one thing after another and before I knew it...yup...I had gained it all back. Well, I've done the crying and stomping of feet over how pathetically weak I've been. I'm now back and ready for the fight.
I use Fitday to track my calories. I also use Daily Plate and Calorie King for help in calculating what I eat. One of my goals to losing weight this year is to not put anything in my mouth that I can't account for. I know there will be days where that will be difficult but I'm going to try my hardest to keep those days far and few between.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and sapping all the support and strength I can get from y'all. I promise to give it back when needed.
Happy New Year Everyone! Pita09-YOU can do this! I get the same way. I gained mostly all my weight back and got so upset about it, I actually started gaining more. Its a new year and we can do this together.
I had a two pound loss this week! I have set a new mini goal for Jan and that is to be 159 by January 31st.
Not to toot my own horn, but today is a very special day to my life. Today, I have not smoked in exactly one year. Did not cheat once. I am so excited!!!
