I'm in the challenge!!! I am so excited to have found this spot...finally REAL women on the same track and not promoting some DIET!! I haven't chosen a method yet....leaning toward a mixture of Adkins and low-fat...I know, what will I eat?? THIS YEAR IS FOR ME!!! IT HAS TO BE!! My challenge goal is 15.1 pounds! I CAN DO THIS!! Of course it doesn't help that a girl-scout rep just brought in a press release and 'sample cookies'!!! Evil woman!!! (mantra...I don't like cookies, I don't like cookies, I don't like cookies!)
Here we go!! Good luck and thanks for the accountability from outside sources...my self-discipline is in the crapper. Keep me on task ladies!!! Thanks!!

All I want to say is welcome, welcome welcome. I am on a journey too. I had take out food and I have been avoiding shopping for food but I know that I have got to get serious. I weigh 202.8 pounds so I have gained back 3.6 pounds so I know I need to get really serious so we all will encourage each other We are going to get this weight off we really are.

Yvette your right this year is OUR YEAR and when Dec 24 comes around next year we will be thinner then ever. Keep your head up:hug:, I was upset to see the scale hit 182 but I have focused on the big picture this year we will do it for good. Thanks fatgirlnomore, I was upset the first day, but I have done great since and I really believe this is my year. I am gonna put me first from here on out and my DH, DK can look at dishes in the sink cause mommy is working out and I think I am finally okay with that. I tested everyone on the 2nd and didn't clean the house all day and guess what NO one complained , and my DH later that night Cleaned WHAT WHAT WHAT:cp:, maybe it's a new year for us all. Well remember all -:sunny: Life is but a journey, you choose your journey !!:sunny:
Have a great weekend and See you all Tuesday for are Weigh-In.:goodscale
Stacey

Yvette and Stacy WTG now lets get going on this challenge and show the new commers how its done I know you can I have all the faith in the world in you !!!!

Friday pep talk:
I know that most of us have a really hard time on the weekends myself included! I have been thinking about this since Wed morning What is so special about the weekend ??? Nothing really because if they labled Saturday Monday would that change things in our minds?? Probably so what I am trying to say is that Sat and Sunday are just two other days! maybe instead of eating more we could exercise more even if it was only fifteen minutes more its something right !!! Ladies I know we all can do this its how much we want it and I for one want to look smoking sitting by the pool this summer !!!! I wont sit till I do my exercises promise LOL Have a great non weekend HUGGGGSSSSS Cya Tuesday!!!!!

This is so true FGNM! We tend to think of weekends as time to relax, and slack off a bit, when really, we should be viewing it as extra time to kick things into high gear. I'm going to try and do some high intensity weight workouts this weekend, and eat very healthy, taking time to prepare my food, instead of driving through somewhere.

THANKS FOR THE PEP TALK!!!!

Hi everyone-
Well I weighed in and lost .8 ( I almost wrote "only .8")- but I being more positive. I was frustrated when I looked at my ww booklet - but when I am honest with myself- I have to admit that I blew it out over the new years weekend. So will be better in the coming weeks. I forgot- when I hit 5 lbs total lost I am getting a massage! Have a good non-weekend.

Can I still join??
 

Hey all!
I know I am a bit late, but can I still join??? :o I have been posting on this site since October..I Just love it!! I would like to lose 6 pounds by Valentine's day. I weighed myself and I am up 3 pounds:tantrum: I don't get it...I am eating better? working out? I dunno!

anyway... hope everyone is working hard!

I saw this on another part of the forum and I am in. I added a ticker then since I added it I am down 11 pounds. I want to be below 300 at Valentines day so I se my goal then to be 299 at least. Good luck to all of you on your Valentines Goal! I know we can do it!

Can i join too? I'm new to this so bear with me lol
I am currently 98kg, 5% of which is roughly 4.9kg, so my weight goal would be getting down to around 93kg? Is that right?

I have no idea and dont get me started on the lb conversion LOL

Great idea! I need to lose 11 lbs. by Valentines day then! I know I can do this!

Hope every one is having a great weekend!!! I am sort of. Friday night I "fell off the wagon" and eat more than what i should have, however instead of wallowing on and on about like I have in the past I got up this morning and decided to move forward and not to beat myself up over it. For me this is a huge change since in the past I could beat myself up over a slip up and then slip up again because I was still upset. 2006 is going to be a great year!! You are right to think about the upcoming Christmas 2006 Stacey since if we make these changes now we all will be thinner and some of us will be at our goal by Dec 24, 2006.
Here is to less of all of us in 2006!!
Lori : )

My Valentines goal is to have lost my first 16 pounds!! I've already lost 4, so I'm on my way to that goal!!

Wow, what a great crowd of motivated wimmen! Let's make the most of the New Year's enthusiasm and give ourselves lots of momentum and support!

I'm doing well, and looking forward to Tuesday's weigh-in. I did 200 minutes of cardio last week; my goal is 250 or more, so that's not bad for the first week. The six-week challenge starts tomorrow at Curves, so I'll get even more reinforcement on both the mouth and the muscle fronts.

I would like to hear how the rest of y'all are planning to meet your goals. I laughed out loud at the grocery store yesterday--the Lean Cuisine section of the freezer looked like it had be attacked by locusts.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!
