  • WTG, Mandy!
  • Quote: I too would like to join you all (Hello Amandie! ) and see a good change and loss in 3 months! Thank you for starting this!
    Hi Sue!!! Welcome! So good to see you. Let's make the best of the next 3 months! Still doing your walks??
  • Quote: D2D, I have had the worst luck with "professional" hair cuts so I know how you feel. It seems like the more I pay, the worse the end result is. I went from super long to super short and it has been an adjustment. It is taking me forever to get the sides grown back out, but the back grows super fast so I'm always whacking at it because I don't want a mullet... I am starting to own it now and been rocking it out a bit. I'm noticing now that with lots of layers, it actually thins out my round face more than having it flat/long. I have been getting compliments so I may stay away from the salon and keep chopping at it myself until my next wild hair.

    I have a question. The spreadsheet shows the first weigh in as 3/10. Does that mean that we can weigh any time before and up to that day or that date and after?
    I think up to that day but I could be wrong, lol. Now I'm curious too.
  • I know I am a little late to the party but I would love to join you guys. I relapsed over the winter months and really need to get back on the wagon. Its really difficult for me and I could definitely use the support and encouragement to stick with it.
  • Welcome, Delphi (and Losing4another!)!!! You two totally can do it!

    lynb01- I'm not planning on giving anything up, although I did think about it.

    Doing good so far, trying to avoid scale. I know TOM is coming up, I might as well start working out since I will be UP anyway, yea?...
  • Thanks for the welcome amandie. Looking forward to getting my motivation back (and my body.)
  • I would like in on this also!

  • First day of posting!! How do you get the graphs on your posts? I love them!
  • rated and ycarijo!

    Thanks for the welcome MandyLamy. Sure is nice to have the support.

    My day did not go quite as planned for my first day, but I will take it. I did squeeze in an hour of P90X, so I do feel quite good about that even if my menu choices were not the best. Will definitely do better tomorrow. Headed to the gym first thing in the morning now that the kiddos are going back to school. I swear, seems like every other day has been a snow day. Sure hope you ladies had a productive day.
  • Thanks MandyLamy. I can use all the will power dust I can get. Today was not the day 2 I would have liked. I did not make it to the gym but did make it to Taco Bell. Of course at the time I didn't feel bad but now that I am here (being accountable), I feel terrible. I just am having this constant battle with myself right now. I know what I need to do (as I did make it down to 167 in 2010) but for the life of me, I can't get my act together. This struggle with food is endless with me. If I am not eating, I'm obsessing over what I'm not eating or what I shouldn't eat or what I can't eat or what I should eat. Its exasperating. But you know, I came here to confess and I feel better. I will pick my butt up and try again tomorrow. I can not let this control me for the rest of my life.

    At any rate, sure hope the day went better for you guys and gals. Heres to a better tomorrow.
  • Lyn- I'd say yes. I just updated on the spreadsheet. Down 1lb, whoo-hoo! WTG on your steps, wow!!!!
  • Quote: Delphi being positive is the best motivator! One day at a time, One meal at a time, One workout at a time!
    This is were I am, Well said and thanks for the reminder.
  • I did not weigh-in this morning. I am using yesterday's weight.
  • Looking forward to summer! I'd love to be 159.

    I'm up another pound this morning and can so relate to your comments. I talked with a girlfriend this morning afterwards decided I needed an attitude adjustment plus need to look hard at diet and exercise(the whole thing). UGH!!!!
