Well I am back again. I think I am finally mentally ready to lose this weight that I have been carrying around for years....I always wanted it gone in a week and when I didn't lose it, I gave up.

Well this time I am giving myself alot more time, slow and steady is how I am going to do it, big loses once and a while would be nice but I am going to be real about this. As the saying goes, I didn't gain it over night it won't go away that soon.

DH, and I are going to buy a stationary bike tonight and that will be my start.

I will not follow any eatting plan except the Canadian Food Guide. The minute I tell myself I can't have something then I want it that much more.

Any body with me. I promise, this is a full committment, I have tried and failed before but not this time, mentally I am prepared and want to do this.

Kim.

Hey there

I can definatley help you out with the mental part of weight loss. I will be here for you.

What are your goals??

My short term are 180 by Xmas
I would like to have a better BMI by my 40th b-day which is Feb 25. Which is I believe is just over 15 weeks away. If I could be 165 by then I would be happy. I don't want to be a fat 40 year old.

We can do this!!!!

Bigbooty89 - Cool, where in Houston? I live in the northwest area.

Today is going well. I get weighed 3 times a week (rough I know). It's close to my TOM so I'm not expecting to lose any weight. The diet I'm on is kinda rough. I can't have any pasta, and can only have 2 starches per day (that's like 2 slices of 40 calorie bread). It all goes downhill from there. It seems to be working though, so I'm going to keep at it. I tried to do yoga from a video, but it is SO not for beginners. My hubby and I are going to find a beginner yoga class around here to go to. I'll check in later (after my weigh in ) Take care ladies, and keep at it!

WTG with your exercising. That is great.

Chickinhouston: Good luck with your weight in.

I could do my weight ins on Friday as well. That is a good day just incase I have a little cheat over the weekend I have time to work it off.

I am going bike shopping again during my lunch today and if I find nothing we will be out again tonight....I really want to get moving....

Have a great day everyone!!!

Count me in!!

I am trying to lose 58 by Memorial Day when I go to Myrtle Beach.

Welcome!!!!!

You will have to help me on this one however, I am from Canada. When is your Memorial Day???

Kim

Blah...I didn't make my weigh in, because I am just feeling...blah...I KNOW I've gained weight because of the "wonderful" TOM and just couldn't face the scale. I'm tried/depressed/sore/frustrated and just generally in a bad mood. *sigh* Maybe Friday will be a better weigh in day for me.

Hey everyone!

Houston, everyone has days like that. Don't let it get you down. Today is a new day!!!!

Thank You!
Our Memorial Day is the end of May. So I have 6 months. Does 50 something lbs so doable? Or am I meaning unrealistic?
