Here we go again!!! GL everyone!

Life kinda jerked me away for a couple months, but here I am. I was not posting, but I did have a January goal for myself - to lose what I had put back on during the holidays and another sick week (was aiming for down to 186). I made that goal and then some extra. I'm starting February at 182 even with a -8 pounds goal to get to 174. I'm also so close to weighing less than DH that I can taste it. He is being a good sport and weighing in every morning for me. Not sure what he was this morning since he left before I woke up, but yesterday he was 181.2. I don't see any way that I can not catch him this week.

My goal is to walk 4 days a week (or more) for 60 minutes a day. I would also like to lose another 9 pounds this month:

I can't wait to get out of the 180's!

Hi all. :wave: I would love to join in!

I've been yo-yo dieting/exercising for way to long. :o February is my month to finally get rid of this extra weight and take care of myself mentally and physically.

Goals:

1) Lose 13 lbs and hit my goal weight!
2) Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
3) Eat breakfast EVERY morning!

CW: 143
GW: 130

Okay, I'm back for a proper Good Morning!!!

:welcome: to all the newbies and :wave: Hello to all the returning ladies!!!

For those of you who are new, I'm Sandye--resident crazy girl--and quite the blabber mouth :blah: My mom is LatetotheGame (LTTG) and she's around here somewhere (Today is her Birthday by the way so:bday2you: Mom!!!!)--chime in mom!!!

A little background...I joined these wonderful ladies in this group back in April--or was it May?--and they have been insanely inspirational!! I went from 200 lbs to 131 with their help and encouragement. However...just as I was on the brink of hitting 130, the holidays came and I threw all common sense out the window and decided to just kick back and relax. Well...I relaxed way too much and now here I am, holidays long over with and I'm still sitting on the (insane) holiday weight! I tried to come back, really I did, but it's amazing how quickly you can revert back to old habits and I clearly wasn't ready to get my butt back in gear (no matter how badly my head wanted me to).

Anyway, so here I am sitting at 164.4 today (egad--I told you it was insane holiday weight!) and I'm bound and determined to get back to where I was before the holidays! I will not spend another summer wearing baggy shirts and capris to cover my body! I worked too dang hard to lose that weight and there's no way I'm going back!!!

So, time for a fresh start. I'm doing great today--got my workout in, got my water by my side and I'm eating POP!!! I look forward to getting to know all of the newbies and to catching up with all of my girlies!!! Let's have a great month ladies!!!

Woo hoo!!!! :woohoo:

Before I forget, My goal this month is 135 dang it. Haven't seen that since right before Christmas.

I'm just doing a quick check in this morning then I need to run and get busy, I've got a massage this afternoon which is awesome but crunches the time too. Anyway, hip is still sore, not too sure what the deal is but if this massage doesn't help I may be bound for the doctor, I don't like aching all over the place and after two days of doing nothing but rest and ice and such I would have expected at least a slight improvement but nothing at all.

Maybe because of that or who knows, didn't eat great this weekend, way too much snacking and I made muffins, honestly, how is that for self sabotage, baking! So now I'm bloated up to 141 on top of the popcorn from Friday night. Ok, off to get busy and stretch the hip. Talk to you gals later!

Hi everyone. My goal for the month is 5 lbs. Here we go again and I am bound and determined to make it this month.

I would like to loose 6 pounds this month.

Hey Chickies

Maaan. I keep gaining and losing the same pound. It's ridiculous. It's also totally stress-induced. It's amazing though, there are times when I can recognize it and nip it in the butt before it gets out of hand.... like the other day when I was walking around Walmart buying workout clothes and my mind kept telling me I should just go ahead and buy some junk food.... wouldn't it feel good to just jump into a bag of cheddar chex mix? And I could feel it, I really could... that junk-food induced endorphin rush I wanted to make myself feel good.... I managed (barely) to walk away from that one, but when you're so stressed out that this sort of thing happens all the time... I'm counting myself blessed that I'm just gaining and losing the same pound rather than simply gaining. At least I'm staying where I am and not losing ground.
So... here's to being refocused in this new month!
Sandye It's so good to see you back! I've missed you!! Now STAY here this time!!!

Hi Ladies,
Well here it is a new month a Monday and the 1st I love when that happens weird but true. I am so excited to hit my goal of onderland this month it will be awesome to do.

:celebrate: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LatetotheGame :gift: I hope you have an absolutly fabulous day.

iDream - glad you are back with us congratulations on making the committment to come back again way to go on being POP and drinking your water and getting in your workout.

Tummy Girl - I hope your massage helps with the pain in your hip and you don't need to go the doctor.

Shrinking Girl - Keep up the good work your doing awesome

For everyone else - good luck with your monthly goals I know you can do it.

Okay everyone, FOCUS! This is a short month and we need to make every day count to reach our goals.

Jellofer--broken record? That's okay, I love that song!

TG--you might want to keep up a prescription dose of ibuprofen to keep the inflamation down on your hip, no? Good luck with the massage, I hope it loosens it right up for you.

SG--Look how good you are at maintaining! Welcome to the rest of your life--lol!

Everyone returning and new, glad you're here.

I got on unreliable scale #1 this morning and it would not even function (it's the digital one with an attitude problem). So I used the old analog scale that has to be set to 6 pounds to read accurately, and if you sort of give a little shift and settle back in, it will keep going up. (I guess both scales have an attitude problem.) I am going to make sure it is set up to it's six pounds=zero mark, and then step on and take that measurement as the honest to goodness truth. It was 203 (thankfully, that means I made goal last month, hee hee).

I'm worried that my 10 pound goal is overzealous for this month, because it's a short month, plus it's Mardi Gras in my hood, and there is much debauchery to be done. I'm going to focus and try to behave. Wish me luck. Lots and lots of luck.

Well Girls,
It's been forever since I last joined you all, July '09, yeah I know. Ok here's my goal : 8 lbs by the end of Feb:crossed:

I wanna play..I'm at 191, would like to lose 10 lbs by the end of Feb so 181.....

I'd love to join! My February goal is 10 pounds. That puts me firmly in onederland!

SW: 205.2
CW: 204 Woo Hoo!
GW: 195.2

I've been away from 3FC for awhile now and gained back all the weight I lost last time plus some :( Bah.

My goal for Feb is to loose the 5 pounds I gained in January from stress eating, and to stop the stress eating so it doesn't come back again.
