WELCOME AQUAREGGIE AND MACKENZIE!!!!!!!!

Is it ok if I join in? I've been posting on the "Fat Chicks on the Beach" forum for about 6 weeks now, and just wandered over here....this looks like a FUN place to hang out!

Do I really have to post my actual weight? In black and white numbers? I haven't even done that on "the beach". Well, I guess since most of you have, I can be brave and do it too!! It's just so hard for me to see the actual numbers in big black print (somehow that makes it more real....am I sad or what!).

OK........

Current weight: 187
Goal by Halloween: 177
Personal Goal: To care enough about myself and my health to stay OP and make permanent life-long changes in my habits.
Fitness Goal: To get into a regular exercise routine. I really struggle with this....I'm the ultimate couch potato.

Welcome MacKenzie and Twodogmom!

Maybe if you see the numbers in black and white it will give you more incentive

Personally I need this challenge to give myself a kick in the butt!
I have been off and on plan for two weeks and losing 1 lb then gaining .5 back and I am sick of it. I am paying to go to WW and if I continue like this I feel that I am wasting my time and $$$ But it is my own darned fault!

So it's time to roll up my sleeves and get to work and get my slowly diminishing butt in gear!

Twodog, we're so glad to have you!
187, huh? Not so bad. It's all relative, hon. I was there a very short while ago. We are NEVER going back!

Den, are you in or out? (please don't say "both")

Just thought I would make this a sticky so we can keep our goals in sight!

Bless you for making our life easier, Mauvais.

Ellis-REPEATEDLY!!!!!

2Dog-HIYA!! Welcome to the loony bin!! It is a LOT of fun here, and everybody is as nice as they are crazy!! I weigh a LOT more than you do, so don't worry about posting your weight!! Anyway, this is a SAFE place. I know it is hard to look at the numbers, but nobody is going to judge you by your weight. (OKAY, I MIGHT if you weighed 110 and said you wanted to get to 100 by Halloween!!!)

Mauvais-Good idea!!

Thanks mauvais, it's nice to meet you!! Hi ellis and den!! I think I'm going to love this place, it looks like a blast! I already feel right at home.

den.....just wait until next year.....110 lbs by next September

Gofishin', are you telling me that you have to lose six effing pounds!?!?!
That's like: a haircut, a toenail clip and a pee.
Come here, darling, let me rip out your hair.

Hey, you're doing GREAT with the running!

Oh, ellis...I LOVE you!!! I have tears running down my face I'm laughing so hard.

Gofishin, welcome! We all have our own challenges to succeed at, and I see from your stats you've lost 12lbs already. Great work!

Oh, did I officially sign up for this challenge? I don't remember. Anyway, I'm in! I want to work on eating less carbs and more protein/veggies even if it is outside my comfort zone. And I want to set up and follow an exercise schedule. And dagnabit I'm gonna DO IT! I don't even care about how many pounds, I just want for once to set goals and make them without chucking them out the window after a few weeks.

Hi Wildfire. We missed you. Um.....you have a suspicious signature. Have you been in B.C. perchance?

Moi, Ruth? Nope, didn't do that one! Hate to think of all the poor little animals that have been affected by those fires. It's actually a line from a song from my favorite strange interest band, The Tractors, from Tulsa, Oklahoma. www.thetractors.com

Now if my boss ever moves to a wooded area....
