Just want to say a public thank you to my sister KRISTIN! (monkeygirl89).

Because of her I have been motivated to go the gym every day this week and eat more healthfully which has resulted in a 7 pound weight loss in one week.

I finally realized that my younger siblings were taking up my poor habits. As the oldest I feel its my responsibility to set an example for them. Having a gym buddy (Kris) is making it all the more easier. I've realized that the reason I failed so many times before is that I didn't have anyone else counting on me but me and I didn't really care that much about me so who gives a crap if i go to the gym or not?

Now, I got Kris counting on me, and that makes me do what I need to do for myself as well. Kinda confusing I know but I just wanted to say:

"THANKS KRIS!!!! LOVE YA"

Hey calisa,

I'm so glad that you and Kris are making it work! And that's wonderful about that seven pound loss!

Keep on going!
Jay

AWWW! You're an awesome big sister!

It works both ways. I am sure your sister is grateful for your example.
keep up the good work.

How wonderful to have someone that close to share this HUGE part of your life with. I think my hubby gets sick of me gloating about how much I've lost and how many cals I ate and so on. He always listens but he's not totally there. Great job on the first loss. Keep it goin!

wow, 7 lbs in one week? thats a lot. Keep up the good work, and do not get discouraged if the weight loss slows down.

Ditto....Just keep on motivating and encouraging one another.... on losing those 7lbs
