I love all of our activity on this thread this morning! It's great to see new people and regulars back up and running for December!
Natty - glad you found the ticker...I love when I get to change mine! Yahoo! Also - good choice on tickers...I think it is the prettiest one...sometimes I change my butterfly around...29lbs since Sept...end of Sept....but it was the first time in a few years that I have actually been able to wrap my head around losing weight. I'm the kind of person that once I figure it out and put my mind to it...there is absolutely no stopping me. I gained my weight over about 6 years....college...boyfriend with bad eating habits...getting sick a couple of times...bouts of depression(not major ones, but i think we all get these)....in any case, I can't wait to see my old self again. I know that I have been hiding out just because I haven't been happy with myself for years....and while I have plenty of "excuses" for why I became this way...it's my own fault and now I am on a war path to fixing it!
Natty & Loin - glad to hear you are both exercise freaks like me. I got 5-6 days per week and have it scheduled out. I'm actually really disappointed with myself because I could only go 4 days last week....too many commitments otherwise....I know that isn't bad, but for me I do feel upset over it....I just love to get in a minimum of 5 days at the gym .... and usually more. I can't wait for 7:30pm so that I can get in there & kick some booty tonight....
Natty - on the Slim Fast snacks and meal replacements - I enjoyed them (the snacks...not the meal replacements....I didn't think they were worth it) until I found out about my dear dear dear Fiber One bars...and like you - I have an obsession. I now have a couple of boxes of SF muffin bars hanging out in my pantry waiting for the day that I run out of Fiber One bars (which probably won't happen seeing as I buy those in bulk at BJ's wholesale club). So needless to say...I'm going to be a crazy woman to choose my SF snack bars over the Fiber One...it just can't be beat.
Jax - glad to see you around! It was a very quiet month last month on our thread - I hope it gets better this month. I'm actually sipping on my SF right now as I type. Glad you are feeling better for December! Yahoo!
I wish I ate more fruits & veggies like you do each day. I'm pretty good at getting 2 servings per day...but I wish I could get more like 6-8 servings....I'm just not that wholly committed to changing my eating habits right now (which are healthy.....but not very full of fruits & veggies). I did go to our farmer's market this weekend and purchase some fresh brussell sprouts....I know...the worst veggie in the world....but I have been determined for about 1 month now to learn to like them....and I'm going to just keep trying until I do!
Well - I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday! Hope to hear how your days are going!
