I'm back...again...
 

Hi everyone!
I'm back..I've been on and off this site since 2001. I lost a good amount of weight on Atkins, then gained it back-calorie counted, then gained it back...and earlier this year I was ROCKING and dropped 10lbs with calorie counting and exercise-and then got injured. After licking my wounds and picking a million excuses to eat whatever I want, I'm back!
My plan? Wear my Sketcher Shape Ups, exercise again and portion control. Lets see if that works. Realistic goals are my main focus; I am not on the Biggest Loser ranch and I will not lose 13lbs in a week. I'm hoping to be down 40lbs by my little brothers wedding in June.
I hope you all will have me back-especially since it's going to get crazy in here come next week :)

Amy

You have very realistic goals. 40lbs in 6 months is doable - but you'll have to be consistent. For me that means consistently getting BACK up. ;) You'll be great! And :welcome2: back!

Amy, welcome! You can definitely lose those 40 pounds and many more by June! You have support here! Glad you re-joined! :)

Thanks, ladies, I appreciate the welcome back! I'm looking forward to following everyone's journeys.

Welcome back Amy. I am right there with you.
I know that I need a Partner In Crime...but I really don't have anyone in my area who will "back me up". I need to have someone make me feel like I have to go to the gym. If they go & depend on me to be there then I will want to go.

I will figure something out I guess. I'm thinking about getting the Wii Fit Plus for the house (on the days I just can't go to the gym) so that I will not have an excuse for not attempting something. We will see.

We can check in with each other if you'd like-or you can IM or email me anytime!

That would be great!
