  • Tummy_Girl, We're so glad you finally found us, lol! We'll help you reach ONEderland!!

    Shari, wow girlie! Now that's commitment! You should be so proud of yourself! I'm proud of you! I know that commute's a hassle, but if you can just get to the gym 3 times a week, it will make all the difference!! You know, I just noticed in your signature that you have a June exercise goal listed of 1400 minutes. I have "make and keep a gym routine" on the list, but not the 1400 minutes. Do you want me to add that to your exercise goals on the sister thread?
  • Hi girls

    It's exciting to see you all...Fattopia, Lookingtobehealthy, Kswood87, Leigh, Altgirl, and Tummy Girl to our team and also new members to the site Hope I didn't miss anyone. I think you will love it here ladies! I can't say enough good things about it! Look around and familiarize yourselves with the site, I have learned (and continue to learn) so many things from the site and the wonderful gals here.

    Hi lea and to all of you Hattie, glad to see you here my lady, hope all is well and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    For those of you who may be unfamiliar with our lingo here, we have initials for some words. DH means dear husband, DS...dear son, DD....dear daughter, lol... laugh out loud, TOM....time of month (you will be seeing that one a lot! lol . Oh and POP means perfectly on plan, OP....on plan (we use that one a lot) and WI means weigh in.

    Delphiiiiiiii, omg! I started laughing when I read that . Newshinyme, indeed girl! to a great June for us all.

    Well Ladies, I made it to the supermarket today and I am ready for Monday. I do my own plan (though I have done SBD...south beach diet before and recently did phase1). I basically just focus on eating healthy. I don't eat butter (I use pam butter flavored cooking spray), I sometimes use olive oil,and I get hellmans low fat may...it's good. I eat lean proteins (mostly chicken, fish, and sometimes ex. lean beef and eggs) and veggies and fruits (I try on the fruits). I don't count calories but am very familiar with them and like Jacqui, make mental notes. OH, there is a great site girls called calorieking.com. Omg, my husband just came in the room and said, "DH is downstairs waiting for you" I better go, your all spared from my further ramblings . Talk soon
  • Looks like we have another great group forming. I'm already sooooooo excited! Let's do this ladies. Welcome to all the new gals!
  • JasonsLea - That is great that you got up and went to the gym yesterday, I don't think I could have done that on 4 hours of sleep!
    FullSteamAhead - I LOVE calorieking.com. I actually use their Diet and Exercise Manager (download) and think it is great.
    Delphi - I have a GWF (similar to the Sensewear), nice to know you are here! It has helped me so much with my weight loss journey.
  • babes ~ Oh yes, I LOVE my GoWearFit! Though for some reason the one I have isn't available on their site, since mine came with the My Victory Plan program. So mine actually looks like a body bugg with the GoWearFit logo on it. Regardless it has been an effective tool for me. Good to see you here as well. I think you will enjoy the support and encouragment here. This is a spectacular group we have here.

    I want one!!!!! And yes, we are SPECTACULAR!!!!
  • Thank you Jacqui_D, Delphi and NewShinyMe for your fabulous welcomes, encouragements and answers to my questions!

    I appreciate y'all very much and am looking forward to participating in this challenge.

    I'm also looking forward to encouraging all of us throughout the month.
  • Thank you for the warm welcome, ladies! I am so looking forward to having some new weight loss partners.

    Speaking of losses, I am down 2.4 pounds this week, and 9.2 pounds overall in my first 3 weeks. Reaching my goal(s) by the end of June feels a lot more possible right now!

    I am not counting calories (yet), just being more mindful of what I put in my mouth, and rocking the Turbo Jam daily. Any other Jammers on board?
  • Just a real quick post to update my Official Goals. I wanted to add a couple.

    Stay on Plan at least 85% of the month--I want to allow for some higher calorie days to keep my motabolism guessing and to take baby steps towards letting myself have a treat now and then.

    Lose 5 lbs, bringing me to 167.8 (I'm hoping for more, but this is the point where my weight loss starts to slow way down and I usually fall of the wagon--Not this time though. I'm going to keep on going and know that a slow down in weight loss is normal and not to be viewed as my 'diet not working anymore' causing me to throw in the towel. Because, this isn't a diet--it's a new lifestyle!!! )

    Lose more inches

    Eat even more fruits and veggies

    Thanks so much Jacqui for keeping track of all our goals and for updating them when we get crazy and start changing and adding and changing...

    I'll be back tonight to catch up on this thread and post personals! I look forward to getting to know all the Newbies and to another fun filled goal meeting month with you all!
  • I am joining too! For the month of June I want to lose 10 lbs.
  • Tracy! I've added you to the list! Glad to have you! Good luck!!

    CMof4, you are so welcome! Hey, I'm still changing my goals too, so I completely understand, lol!

    Well, ladies, speaking of changing my goals, Delphi has come up with a proposal to help me to remember to eat. For those of you who are new, I am one of those strange people who forgets to eat. Eating the wrong foods always triggered my appetite so that I wanted to eat constantly, but eating right levels out my blood sugar levels so that I don't have insulin spikes, However, as a result, I rarely get hunger cues unless I haven't eaten for a whole day or it's the week before TOM, and not eating creates a real problem because I have reactive hypoglycemia, which is like the opposite of diabetes. Instead of high blood sugar levels, I'm more prone to low blood sugar levels, so if I don't eat, those levels drop way low. Well, Delphi proposed that I make a goal to remember to eat, and since she is hypoglycemic as well, she would also make a goal about remembering to eat. So, I have added some new goals, and I really hope I can meet them!

    Delphi, your turn!
  • I am back - have been away for so long and I have stayed pretty much the same. June 1st is my 36th birthday - so what better time to start a new life. My goal is to lose 12 lbs by July 1st - more would be great, but I would be happy with 12.
  • My goal is to lose 3 lbs in June. I have been going very slowly so I think this is doable
  • My goal is to lose 12 lbs in june!
