New around here...

  • ...and I went about all of this backwards. So, I'm Cara. Great to meet all of you! I posted my profile and posted to a few threads but it never even occured to me that I needed to introduce myself. DUH! Anyway, I've been on Weight Watchers since Jan. 8th of this year and have so far lost 53.5 lbs with 83.5 left til I'm at my goal weight. I'm not really thinking of that though because if I do I get discouraged. It all seems so far away, so I'm taking it 10 lbs at a time. I just started Jazzercise on Monday and the planis to go at least 5 days a week. I'm loving it! Somehow I think there must have been a Rockette inside me dying to get out! Anyway, I weigh in on Saturday mornings so I'm kinda eager to see how this week with exercise will change my weigh ins. I know I may gain because of adding muscle but I sure hope it's a loss. In the end, I know it will be.
  • Welcome. That's some pretty impressive lbs lost! Congratulations on that. Seems like you are off to an excellent start in this journey. Keep doing what your doing, stay focused and positive. You'll melt away the pounds! Welcome again!
  • Welcome Cara ~ Great job so far on the weight loss. The jazzercize sounds like fun.
  • Welcome to the group. This group is so friendly and full of support and inspiration. I think you'll like it here.

    WELCOME!!!
  • I wish my town had some kinda exercise jazzercise thing that I could join. I just think I'd like it more than lifting weights or doing jumping jacks. anyone know if you can buy a dvd that dances instead of exercising?
  • welcome to the group. You are doing awesome.
  • Welcome, Cara.

    Great job on getting rid of 50 pounds!
  • Glad to see yet another new face, Cara. Congrats on your first 50 - we're looking forward to celebrating the next 50+ with you!
  • Hi Cara, well done so far, you're doing a fab job.
  • Welcome Cara - congrats on the 50+lb lost, you must feel great about that! The rest of the weight will come off in time - like you say, take it 10lb at a time to keep it manageable.

    Love Amanda x
  • Hi, Cara! Nice to have you here! Looks like you are doing great already! Way to work your plan!

    I have some bellydance videos that are excellent by twin sisters named Veena and Neena. Their website is www.bellytwins.com.

  • Welcome! :wave
  • Cara welcome! I've been to Denton Texas many time. Matter of fact I graduated from TWU. I remember when the Golden Triangle Mall was the only mall in Denton County. I'm impressed with your weightloss on the WW flexplan. Maybe I need to revisit that WOE. Right now I'm leaning more towards a vegeterian life style...I really need to find something that will work for me.
  • Hi Cara! I just joined today so I guess we're meeting everyone on this board at around the same time.

    Congrats on the 50+, you must be so proud of yourself!
