Hey Suzanne - So glad to see you!!! Yes, I'm planning on getting back on track too - I always want to start before the beginning of the year - just to be different, so I actually started today - I'm doing day 1 of take off - I'm hoping to drop something - not setting my expectations too high - I will be happy with whatever. I want to get my mind set - b/c I'm doing my last christmas gathering this weekend - but I know if I start now - I can be OP this weekend b/c I will have the right mindset.

You are so funny. I have my old dairy out from when I originally started LA and how funny is this? Last year, I started take off on a THURSDAY - Dec, 29.....this year it is Thursday Dec 28 - funny how the past follows us??

come on girl - get back on track with me - 15 to go - let's lose it together.....

Glad you gals are getting back on track - y'all might just be the motivation I need !!!

Hey Norissa - good to see you!

Wow - we are all crawling out of the woodwork!!

Heather - you are on - lets make this the year we hit....and stay @ goal!!
This is my second day of chilling out on the holiday goodies and the scale is starting to move in the right direction.
Now there is just New Years to get through

-S

very very true -

Well since several of you have been crawling out of the woodwork i figured I might as well too!! I have been getting things ready to get serious about this weight. Three main reasons I not only want to but HAVE to lose this weight: tired all the time, my knees are starting to hurt occasionally, and my cothes are getting tight. Yeah I know who knew right.

I start my student teaching January 16th and I will be able to take my lunch with me so it will be much easier to eat right!!

I have challenged the boyfriend to join me in a healthier year. One of my goals is to get back here! You guys are a great support and I think I was doing better when I was here daily. Sooooo you shall be seeing a lot more of me. I think I will get started somewhat tomorrow but im not at home so I dont have complete control over what food is being fixed. Now I am off to see if I can find the take off plan that we use when we first start so that I can start that on Tuesday.

Good to see all of you again!!

Good to see you Britt!

Welcome back Britt!

Great decision for the New Year! A NEW YOU!!! Welcome back!!!

How funny that I decided to check out the boards and see how you are all doing...only to find out that I'm not the only one who has been MIA!

To all you chickies from the past...a great big HELLO and here's to a great 2007!
To all the newbies...I had started LAWL back in August 2005 and lost about 30 pounds. I am married with one beautiful baby girl named Emily. She is the one in my avatar.

Now for "confession time". I fell WAY off the wagon and ate and ate and ate and stopped exercising and just felt sorry for myself for being a failure which let to more eating and not exercising. So in summary, I gained all the weight back and then some. So here I am starting fresh. And I am sure that you chicks are the support that I need to get back on track.

Welcome back Tina. What part of PA are you from? I grew up in Pittsburgh.

I am in central PA...about an hour north of Harrisburg.

I am soooooo thrilled to see some old beloved faces!!!! I have missed you all. It sounds like a lot of us have fallen off the wagon--being perfect is exhausting--and not always much fun!! IMO.

Welcome Back TINA!!!
