Hi Kristea2010! Let's do this! I dont' have PM yet so once that kicks in we can post together. I am very motivated and glad to have you as a buddy!

This looks like a fun group. I'd love to join and would love a partner too :-)

Thanks!

Hey Beachbreeze2010! Glad to have a buddy. We can and will do this!!! I added you to my buddy list. Not to sure what the PM is so i'm gonna go look and find out.

So Mom2all5 --

Tell, tell! Are you a mom of 5 (in which case, oh my good heavens, how on -EARTH- do you manage?!?!?!?) or the 5th member here who has the ID Mom2all?

How did you get to this online community? What kind of challenges are you facing?

i am a mom of 5 not all grew in my belly tho. i have three and i am a custodial stepmom to two. my oldest lives with his dad so i only care for him over the phone lol (they live in another state). My other 3 oldest are all teenagers (i think God is playing a joke on me) and my youngest is 8. they are all pretty well behaved so its not that bad. i found this site awhile ago and now i cant remember how lol. i weighed 215 yesterday so thats my start weight. my goal weight is 135. i emotional eat which has gotten worse since i quite smoking in august. my other goals are to drink a gallon of water a day, eating less, eating healthier and excersizing at least 4 times a week. reached all of these yesterday yay me! im good at starting stuff tho. not so good at sticking to things. so far so good today.

LoveBrad and Christies6pack - please weigh in with your starting weight on our "January Biggest Loser Weigh In" thread. We weigh every Monday - okay to be a bit late.

LoveBrad we are in this together. It looks like you can't PM yet so we will have to do this by just posting for now.

Heya, pot, I'm kettle! Isn't black slimming????

The weather has -totally- FUBAR'd my exercise efforts: thankfully I now have a dvd player in the back, so exercise DVD'ing can be done.

I'm mid-goaling: my LT goal is 165; my short term goal is 5% of 227 (initial starting weight -- and short term is only 4 lb away!!!) and mid-goal is 10% (200, basically).

My main thing is Not Eating. If I can remember to NOT EAT, then I do better overall. Food blogging helps, too -- has to be just for me, otherwise I get all guilt ridden, and then the emotional eating -really- kicks in. I'd say my big goal is to form a safe, sane and sensible relationship with food: right now, I feel like it's been running me for 10+ years. Ugh.

How's your weekend going?

Not sure if this will get read but GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Weigh in is today!!!

Heya, Mom2all5! Saw your post in weigh-in!

You're FABULOUS and marvelous -- WAY TO GO!!! Have a dancing carrot!!




Me, I'm down 1, and what with snowpocalypse and the Monday weigh-in (weekends tend to get a little food-heavy, but weeks are pretty kick-butt). May just change to a Wed, 'late' weigh-in for sake of sanity -- but still! total of 8 lb down!

I'm going to go pick out a reward. YOU TOTALLY SHOULD, TOO!! What've you got your eye on?
