Hi!

First day to the group and I would like to join the 40+ . I am 48 but only have about 30 to lose but it is an ever lasting 30. I need the motivation that I am hoping to get from you guys. I love to eat! My workouts are okay but I lose interest in a couple of weeks.

Okay to join?

[butter ball no more]

[activeadventurer]

Welcome hulahips. I love your name!!! We are more than happy to have you. I tend to approach my own weight loss in 25# increments. It helps me stay focuse on the road right in front of me. Tell us a little aobut yourself if you'd like and it would be great to have you join the 3 of us (ButterBallNoMore, myself and Nancy) in the LMT. See a fewposts back. DCM

Well today was my weigh-in Deep breath Yes down 1kg (2.2 lb)
so it's the happy dance for me
what day are the rest of the group having as weigh-in day?????
I have been ok today still have not ad all my water but I will try

[hulahips]

LMT - That is great! I love it! Thank you for the welcome! I only do the video tapes, I do Cathe and the Firm so I don't know how you would break that down. I did so well last week and this week my motivation is just gone! I need to get on the scale like you all do and post. Maybe when I see it on paper (computer screen that is) it will hit me more! I am 48, been dancing Polynesian for the past 38 years and just recently hung up my tassels. That is I am only going to dance class for fun and not for shows. I am starting swing dance classes in a couple of week though. I have always wanted to do this and know I am. I have three sons, 23, 12 and 10. We live in San Dimas, calif. and I work at City Hall in Azusa. You all sound like a lot of fun. Now I just have to get used to this website and add all those fun icons.

I think it helps if you have a weight-tracker so you know were you are and you know the rest of the group know also makes me feel like I have to do the right thing as much as possable
and as you start to lose it gives you the I will go on and i the icons so come on and get back on track so you can have a and then we can all do the happy dance like this for you oh and by the way I am

Hi all activeadventurer how do you like my tracker for our Lazy Man's Triatholon

[activeadventurer]

Hi Folks,

Sorry I have not been posting. I had a bit of a shock this week (See 100+ pound thread "Serious Illness - Seeking Support" for details). It has thrown me way off track exercise wise (Meaning none so far this week) but I think today is the day!!! My eating has been less than stellar but not nearly as bad as it might have been in similar circumstances.

BBNM - I love your tracker for the Lazy Man's Triathalon. Thnaks for keeping it alive. I definitely need to do something similar or post daily to keep it in the front of my mind. Congratulations on your progress.

Hulahips - I hope you will join us on the LMT. You can definitey substitue your tapes for the walking, swimming etc. Just decide on your own conversion factor. A simple one might be... since people bike at around ten miles an hour. A one hour tape would be like biking ten miles or people walk at 3-4 miles per hour so...

I usually like to add the little icons but I am just not up to it today. Maybe tomorrow

Let's be women. Thanks for the support!!!

P.S. I did exercise today and therefore officially started my LMT. Now I have some catching up to do. DCM

Hi Everyone!

My name is Lori and I have well over 100 pounds to lose. I just turned 50 in July. On Wednesday I joined LA Weight Loss and am very excited to be doing something positive to getting this weight off!

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

[activeadventurer]

Hi folks,

Hope every body is doing well.

Welcome, Lori. Congratulations on joining LA Weight Loss. I would be intersted in knowing a little bit more about the program if you are up to it.

HulaHips - Thanks for the bio info. I have spent most of my life in or near my hometown of Oakland, CA. I am thinking that San Dimas is in Southern CA but I am really not sure.

BBNM thanks for your recent support and way to go girl on the LMT. You are inspiring me.

Bye for now, DCM

BBNM, that seems like a really ambitious weight loss goal. I think I figured it was 19 pounds in less than 6 weeks. Maybe you lose fast or maybe its the conversion thing. I would like to lose 25 pounds by the end of the year (a little less than 2 pounds a week) I find I do better if I focus more on behaviors and less on weight. At the same time I feel I need to be more optimistic about my ability to lose weight and not so negative regarding how slow it can go.

Any one else for stating their goals?

Well I have one week( well just under two) to go and I dont think I will quite make my goal but I think it's the happy dance for me(you do it my feet dont need it right now)
