Well I haven't been given the option to place a signature on my profile yet, but my goal IS to lose weight. By October 1st I plan to be down AT LEAST 15 pounds!
I'm going thru a divorce and my son was just diagnosed with swine flu, but I refuse to stress eat (more than I already have). I ate 3 meal replacement bars after a bad call from my lawyer the other day. And when my son was confirmed with swine flu I ate 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
But I'm over that and my son is doing GREAT on the Tamiflu and my lawyer (after a swift kick in the butt from me) is working on things.
I'm 298 today so by October 1st I WILL be at least 284!
My goal is 7 lbs and to stop cheating. I am so close to goal but now have gained a 1 lb and I know it is because I am not measuring my food. I am so mad at myself. Oh well, it is a new month and this board helps me so much!!
I'm in too... just finished my first month, at WI today I was down 14.5 pounds, just busted through my first plateau which thankfully only lasted about a week. Sooo.. I think my goal for the month will be 12 pounds.
I don't have rights to post a ticker yet, so I'm starting at 164, so I should be at 152 by months end. Good luck to everyone!!!
told the BF i was really going to work on this weight loss thing, instead of just complaining about it. He is soo good, tho...when we first met I weighed 138!! so the poor guy has seen me go from that...to 210 in 7 years...40 of them in the last 2. He said if I could get 20 off by Oct 17th...family picture day...that he would take me shopping for a new outfit for Moms party, and etc!!! whooohoo...
so...7 weeks to bust out 20 pounds!!!!

ooohhhh sweetie, i feel ya. when josh and i started dating, i weighed about 150, and somehow in four years... BAM. that's what being comfortable will get ya, i guess. :S but he's being SO supportive of the diet (and never once made me feel bad for gaining weight in the first place--to him, i've "always been beautiful at any weight." he might be putting me on, but i love him for it hehe)
