I just got done reading the wonderful and supportive posts on our last thread and I wanted to give you my heartfelt thanks for being there for me! You guys are the greatest!

Wow, thanks so much for the welcome!

I completely understand about the kilos being odd. I can't think in pounds at all - I have very little concept of what a number in pounds means. (any of you under 200lb - well there is a girl in Sydney who assumes you are all skinny!). I have to divide your weights by 2.2 on my calculator to have a good idea of what a particular weight represents. So I'll convert as I go - just pay attention to the numbers in the brackets.

But that brings me to my exciting news - I've already lost 1kg (2.2lb) in the first 2 days of June! I'm now at 103.1kg (226.8lb), and getting under 100kg (220lb) seems possible - even probably.

Woot!

girls!

to all the newbies!

OMG today has been.....one hassle after another. It comes in threes, ya know? First, my phone is totally kaput so I'm without a cellphone. Then, after I TOLD HER that I would be picking up the check, the old realtor secretary put my deposit check in the freakin mail. Finally, I had to reinstall my whole Windows operating system. Which wouldn't have been so bad if the damn Dell people had just told me in the first place that was what I needed to do instead of dragging it on for over two weeks!

So sorry I haven't been around. Hopefully, this is the end of the computer (brandfreakinnew!) drama.

It's always something with me, isn't it?

BTW, Jacqui, you don't need to add those 1400 mins to the exercise thread. It's actually my July 4th goal.

Well I did a blameless day on Induction, DAY 1 -- stayed under 20, and already feel braver and stronger for it!

I hope today goes well for us all.

Good Morning Ladies

Velveteen ~ Hey sweetie...OF COURSE it's ok to join. We would love to have you aboard. How have you been?

Rubyjan ~ Sounds like you had a great day and you are well on your way.

FSA ~ Did you get to sleep on time?

Jasonlea ~ Oh honey, don't get me started on Dell customer service. Had my puter a week and tried to call customer service, who by the way I couldn't understand, but then he went a step further to tell me, that my name wasn't registered to the computer and he couldn't help me, blah blah blah, and then the S.O.B hung up on me. So I can definitely relate. Good to see you back.

babes ~ Good job staying on plan yesterday!

Couch ~ Way to go on the pound dropage! You are definitely in line to hitting your goal this month. and keep up the groovy work.

Sarahmommy ~ to the June challenge!

Supachix ~ You know, I agree! This group is simply amazing isn't it? Sending big 's right back at cha girly. How are things?

LE ~ Where are you girly? I love your new avatar pic!

Jacqui ~ Breakfast is calling you chicky!

Urockmom ~ Today is your day! Hopefully, things wont be so busy and you can get some "me" time in..you so deserve it.

Jacque ~ You keep up the excellent work!

Day three ladies and every one is doing great. I am up and almost down another pound. Today is my treadmill/strength training day, so I'm pumped. A little concerned about how I'm gonna mix in some high calorie days and still keep my 1000 calorie deficit on those days. But it's really been working for me and keeping my metabolism confused. I think I'll go for a high calorie day today since I'll have 105 minutes of exercise in today.

Yesterday, I was needing a boost around 2. My metabolism flat lined from then on. I had been out in the sun all day with the boys. Plus while they are out there swimming or what not, I'll do laps around my driveway, it's not much, but it keeps me moving..right? But I still had a good day. That hour of cardio really does wonders for my metabolism after I'm finished. It's like the energizer bunny until the lad needs to take a breather.

Did great on water, exercise and stayed on plan and don't see anything getting in my way at all. I can have a really bad day and still try to stay focused on my goals. I guess ever since Canaan came a long, I have been given this new found outlook on life, so when i want something and want it as bad as I do with the weightloss, no one can stop me. I'm too stubborn to fail. I will not give up. I will not let circumstance dictate my thoughts or moods. I will not succumb to temptation. I will not stop until I hit my goal! Period.

I know I'm rambling, but I'm waiting on my food to digest a bit so I can hop on the treadmill...so you guys are stuck with my uberlong post. So there!!

I understand not everyone has an easy time with weight loss, that many things can affect the way we feel daily and ultimately affect our journey. It's difficult and at times a pain in the butt, and you wanna throw in the towel, but if you REALLY want this, then don't let anything stop you. I got really discouraged that week I didn't lose a pound. All my hard work and calculations were worthless. Regardless, there was no way I was gonna do anything to jeopardize my progress. I figured it would straighten itself out, so I stayed on plan, stayed active on our threads and just concentrated on moving forward, even if I was at a standstill.

You have to ask yourself, do you really want this? Do you answer that question with a simple yes? Or can you give me a **** Yeah? Ladies, we have one **** of a road of ahead of us. It will not be easy. However, if we do this together, it will make the journey, that much more easier. We can change, we can make it to the finish line, we WILL see our goals. We simply need to keep our focus, support each other on the good and bad days and we need to remember to enjoy life during the process. Remember your smile. Find your laughter. Focus on the positive and denounce the negative and never let a day go by, without taking a look in the mirror and telling yourself, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I honestly believe each and every one of you can reach your goals if you are willing to endure the trials, move forward and work your butt off for it..hehe literally.

Alright, that's all the time I have. Time to go turn on the treadmill and pop in a movie and kick up some tread. You ladies have a superawesome day and whatever you do, don't forget your smiles.

Delphi, thanks for that inspiration...I'm having a rough day, up another pound and not feeling great about my progress. But you're right, if you ask me if I want this, the answer is not "yeah, a little," it's **** YEAH. My goals are attainable and I will not stop until I reach them. That should be enough to keep me on track, now I just have to learn to be as stubborn as you!!

Morning all
I'm feeling good and ready to start a new day.

I need to do some baking today so I'm going to be extra vigilant and do it in the morning instead of the afternoon.
I'm strong, determined and hardcore on program in the mornings.
But often in the afternoons I tend to slip. Afternoons are the hard time of day for me. It can be a time of day I tend to start binging.
Planning for success and being honest with myself is half the battle with me

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL DAY!

Welcome Velveteen! I've added your weight loss goal to this list and your exercise goal to the sister thread--June Exercise Challenge. Glad to have you! Good luck!

JasonsLea, thanks for letting me know about the minutes! I hope things start to get better for you!

Delphi, woohoo on the panties! That was even better than an inspirational quote of the day!

Michelle, I'm glad that what Delphi said helped you this morning! It definitely is a journey!

Couch, congrats on the 1 kg down!! Great job!!

Babes, WTG on staying OP, girlie! Keep it up!

FSA, I got to bed by midnight! Woohoo on the panties!

Oops, girls, I'll be back! Gotta go eat breakfast now!!

Michelle ~ Ha! My stubbornness is a good and bad thing. The key for me is finding the balance. I sure am glad it helped. You have come a long way and you still fight the good fight daily and you are NOT giving up. Focus rather on your successes, they are indeed worth celebrating. Now go out there and enjoy the **** out of your day!

Susiemartin ~ Water, water and more water! If you have trouble with the evenings, then perhaps this is the time when you should try getting a good portion of your water in. It suppresses your hunger!

Jacqui ~ Woohoo on the panties!! Great job on eating breakfast kiddo! Bravo!

Okay, I'm back!

SupaChix, we just want you to know you're not alone! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

RubyJan, congrats on staying OP yesterday! Of course, you are going to do it again today! If you start to slip, just read what Delphi said!

Susie, love your self-awareness! Great job on the planning! That's half the battle! You can do this, girl!

NSM, woohoo on the panties! Thanks for the great catch phrase! Lol!

Thank you, Delphi, for talking me into making not forgetting to eat a goal, because it does make a difference! I wanted to ask you, how are you going about calorie shifting? What numbers are you using? I imagine 1200 calories make up your low days?

Good morning to all our ladies! I hope you have a great day!
