  • Yay a new thread! =) my ending/starting weight is 205. Hecks yeah! =) I'm ready for another 5+ pound month!
    How about you ladies? Think we'll get 12 pages of posts this month?!!
  • Hi! I am new here, This is a really god thing to get rid of my first pounds. So please add my name to the list =)
  • Please add me to the list as well.

    Have not been posting for along time now, and have gained all that I've lost last year and then some

    Now I'm ready to reclaim all that I've lost and hopefully get to my goal weight this year.

    Working on losing 5 lbs. will actually be a good start.
  • I would also like to join, please!

    I have always wanted to do one of these but I guess I am a bit shy (even in cyberspace)

    Let me know if I am not doing this right.

    Here are my goals for this month
    *Lose 5# - Starting weight 147
    End weight 142
    *Walk 2 miles at least 3 times a week
    *Don't eat everything in sight (this will be the hardest! I love my food!!)

    Thanks

    We have made a lot of new friends on this thread, so I think it could go more????? I really enjoy talking to you guys and hopefully the newbies will pop right in and become oldies. Okay, I hope that made sense?????
  • Welcome to all the new people. We really are glad you are joining us. This will be our third month doing this. Even with the holidays, we have made a lot of progress. Just look at our numbers from January (as of this writing, the numbers still need to be updated). We rocked!!!!!!! So, this support thread is more than just seeing who is first to loose 5 pounds, or who looses the most (but that is fun). It is also to be an encouragement and also keep us accountable. So post as often as you can.

    Welcome! You can do it. 5 pounds is just the start. If you only loose 1 pound, 2 pound, ect. a month....think how much better you will feel. Better than gaining that amount a month.

    Welcome! So glad you are joining us. No need to be shy with us. Come and post as often as you can. And you are doing this perfect. When ever you are ready to change the numbers, let me know, and I will make the changes. Some people do this once a week, or whenever they have a change. I will do my best to keep up with this. If you notice that your numbers weren't changed, just let me know. I have three kids that have taken some of my brain cells, soooooo.......I may need to be reminded!!!!
