Well I am here. Hope the others will join in. I will tell a little about myself too.

goal 175

I have had a problem most of my life. Have always had to battle since I was a teenager. It has been to hardest battle since I have been in my 40's. Now I am going to turn 50 next year, and I want it gone by then. I have almost a year and a half to go, and it will not be easy, but I am going to give it my best effort. My size right now is between a 20/22. I would just love to get to a 12 or 14, I would be happy with that size. My lowest weight as an adult was 160. It was wonderful to go to a clothing store, and be able to just try on regular sizes. I want to be able to do that again!

I was also born and raised in FL, moved to TN in 1992, lived there for 10 years, and moved to the country of Mexico for a year and a half, and now live in Southern Indiana. Have been here for two and a half years. I have two little dogs, and they are my children.
Looking forward to meeting all of you too.
Thanks,

[piperboo]

This morning scale said 271 yay! I am going to start only weighing once a week though - I have to!
Going canoeing this weekend - happy summer is here!

I count calories and exercise 5x a week.
I too have been heavy most of my life. In fact I can't even recall the last time I was in the 100's. I can't wait to get there.

I am married and have on 2.5 year old daughter.

Hope to get and give some much needed support!

Talk to you later

[piperboo]

Welcome Leec!! We will do it!!!

[hairdresser]

Hi Leec,
Welcome. Good to have you here, and glad you wanted to join in. We will do this together. I had a hard weekend. To much going on, but I did fairly well. I usually weigh on Mon., but went ahead and weighed on Sat. morning, and lost 1 lb. But that is alright, one is better than none!!

[piperboo]

I definietly fell off the wagon this weekend, and I don't even have a wagon!
I did horrible. The two lbs I had lost are right back. Here's to buckling down! I can't backslide!!

Sherly - 1lb is GREAT! Anything is awesome....just think when we get to 50 lbs lost....

Leec - how was your weekend?

[Angel33]

Hi girls,

I had a great weekend! Spent some much needed time with hubby and daughter.
Tomorrow is my official weigh in day so I'll have to see how well I actually did over the weekend.

Sheryl-WTG on the 1 pound loss. You're headed in the right direction.

Sara-Just pick yourself up and brush yourself off and climb back up on that wagon. You can do it.

Hope you are having a great day!
Talk to you later

[hairdresser]

Leec,
Hope you did well over the weekend, and glad you had a good one. It looks like you have a good start already, and that is great. Keep up the good work.

Sara, thanks, your right. You will do it too. I know that you can.

It is hard when you go places, and have things to attend. I am invited to a 4th of July party, and I am already worried, but I will do alright. I just hope there are some healthy choices. But I am going to try not to stress about it to much. Just try to stay on track til then.
Stay strong. Have a great day!

[piperboo]

Hey Sheryl - just load up on the veggie tray or eat something before you go so that you are full. I have a dinner party that weekend too and I think I am going to eat before I go so when I get there I just pick a few spoonfuls of the healthiest thing there and don't over do it.

Leec - I hope your scale makes you smile this morning!

Let's keep it up girls!!!

[piperboo]

Hey girls!

I am out of town working an event, so I have had limited net access...but taking a break - I thought sticking to my eating healhy regime would be hard out here, but I have been lucky! Park City Utah has a bunch of healthy type restaurants and I have been so lucky that my group has been ordering food from one of them! There was this wonderful shrimp steak and mashed potato dinner we were served and a dessert BUFFET but I traded my steak for other peoples shrimp and ate like 9 shrimp and a side salad. I stayed FAR away from the dessert table.
Been grabbing bananas and honeydew slices when I can. I can't believe its been this easy out here.
There isn't a scale out here, so I hope I am surprised when I get on it when I get back home Sunday night!

Girls - lets keep each other encouraged.

SHERYL - AWESOME JOB on the 3 lbs!!! Just when you think you aren't moving the scale - the next day it drops. Keep that excitement!!

Sara
