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 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!
