You should find the closest centre to you and go for a free consult. The goal is 2 lbs per week. The support is awesome! They will guide you in what you need to adjust for your food intake and lifestyle habits to see physical changes.

Hi Girls.. Sorry I haven't been around too much, been really busy.. I just have a minute to pop in and then I am off again.

Weigh-in was up .4 lbs but its ok.. I always seem to be up after the weekends.

Hafta go but will be back..

ok WI today was .25loss from Monday and -5 Inches loss from last wed WI.
Thats total 18lbs and 43inch LOSS

and I went to the Gym today for 1hr Feeling Great.. Is it Fri Yet to go back.:

I Second that. Now I have 8weeks in this week and I have Loss 18lbs

Still no change today! Apparently it can take a week to get over the Bloating from TOM. Well by the weekend I better be down or I may consider something extreme like a hysterectomy to avoid TOM. But that probably has another whole slew of issues too....guys are so lucky!

okay I'm back for my check in.

Ladies I am so sorry that I can't keep up with you all on this blog.

Welcome to all the new members! I can't believe what Christina started. She is the reason we are all in contact with each other.

So my update!!!!!! I'm down to 175lbs. It's been like 4 years since I've seen below 175. I can't believe it. I'm heading to Cuba in a week for a wedding and will be purchasing a new dress and bathing suit or BIKINI on Saturday.

So total #'s for me so far....

Total loss: 17lbs & 18.5 inches.

I'm kind of looking forward to not having to pay over $100.00 for bras. I'm a 36G and can't wait to get down to a DD.

I'm so proud of everyone and how great everyone has been supporting each other.

I will never just dissapear. I'll be checking in as much as I can. Keep in mind that I'm an event planner that runs a catering company so I'm busy at the strangest times. Just writing lately in my journal has been an accomplishment.

untill later you never know when I'll pop by again!

Welcome back Ashley! I wasn't around since your last postings but it's wonderful to hear of your progress with HM!!! And it must be absolutely fantastic to be heading off to CUBA in a week. SO jealous. Go for that bikini!

So I just hit 175 today too! this is a mini-milestone for me since it pretty much gets me to where i was 2 yrs ago. The next milestone is 172... weird number I know, but it's the number that my fiance and I compromised on where I will not say any negative comments whatsoever about my body ever again. I'm not even allowed to think them - which he says he'll be able to tell when he sees me look at myself in the mirror. I suppose it's his attempt to have me working on my mental state as well so that I can appreciate what I'm doing for myself and not be down on myself for a reason no one else can see.

My secret is that I've been keeping myself from saying bad things about myself earlier than my weight 'deadline' and am noticing that I feel a lot better about myself with each day that passes! Not that I was a self-loathing basketcase by any means, but I was a typical young woman that focused on any flaw I possibly could find about myself. real and imaginary. meh, what can you do eh?

Girl, I say that EVERY time I go get myself a bikini wax. Let's see a guy try that!

Hey partner in crime... lol

I was wondering what you wore up too !

Wonderful you at 17lbs & 18inch loss !
and So Lelouse to hear your going to cuba .... I sure hope you have the Best time there.

Will be on the look out for you next time , Please DOnt make it so far in between K !

Yahoo! TOM lbs are gone! Now back to the real poundage! I have 1 lb to go before I hit my goal for the weekend! I had this weekend as my 1st 15 lbs gone goal. Crossing my fingers that following plan will give me results today! Kinda dont want to look at the big picture LOL

15 pounds is a great accomplishment Julia!!! There's no excusing any weight loss now as being "water weight"... serious changes are happening! You're doing a wonderful job! You'll be hitting your goal for the weekend no problem I'm sure.

Hello ladies. I am sort of new to HM. Today is day one, the second time around!
I joined in 2006 but quit because I don't think I was ready. So HM sent me a letter offering me my un-used weeks back for FREE! Woot!
I jumped at it. I had 36 wks left, so it was too good to pass up!
I am 41yrs old
185lbs
Goal: 140lbs.
I don't work anymore so I think it will be easier this time around. Looking forward to hearing your stories and hopefully sharing my success.

Gotta go drink a gallon of water...

gtek, big welcome to you! That does sound like you got a great deal to rejoin for free! and a fantastic incentive! I look forward to hearing your successes.

Thanks for the welcome Prep!

I have to go to HM today to weigh in. Since I officially started today, I had a big dinner last night (fairwell to fat dinner) LOL
So I am kind of weary about getting on the scale. It was worth it though! LOL

so preppingbride when are you getting married? I'm getting married too this year on August 8, 2008. I'm supposed to hit my goal weight of 150lbs by july 28! I couldn't believe it.

Welcome Gtek. good luck with your second time around. the more you try to more you will accomplish!

Have a great and guilt free weekend ladies! No cheating!
