Hey, Kim!

Well, you get to be congratulated twice...right off the bat!

As Michelle said, you're never alone around here

last week 192.4 lbs

this week 192.8 lbs



Dammit!

Okay, so here's where I would historically throw in the proverbial towel. Worked my ass off for a week (only week 2, mind you) and up .4 lbs.

I'm trying to be patient, because today - weigh in day- just happens to be my most bloated, crampy, PMS MONSTER day of the month...which makes it ALL worse, for several reasons...this is just such a downer!

I suppose in order to break new ground, you've gotta break old habits...guess I'll keep "the towel:

Vicky, Lorraine, Sandy & Mary,

WELCOME!!!

You've found a great place to hang out! Wonderful encouragement, support and energy!!

Jump right in, and shout out any questions or challenges you might be having! There's LOADS of ideas floating around here!

ENJOY!!!

Hey, Maureen!

WELCOME aboard! This is an amazing network of people, always willing to reach out and give LOADS of support.

Enjoy!!

COUNT ME IN, TOO!!!



I don't know that I'll have another - 7 lb week, but a girl can try!

Mike, that's a riot that you didn't know your cereal had almonds! Not a judgement at all, but it does make me wonder how much of what I eat would taste better if I actually paid attention to it!

Eating on the run is a bad habit that I've gotten into, and didn't really notice until I was watching ICMYT last night.

I wonder if I really like what I eat

Hi Mike!

Welcome!

I heard this show last night for the first time, and I really liked what he had to say. It sounds very simple and basic, yet his 4 rules are things that we don't necessarily stay conscious of. I know that I tend to think about all the "stuff" I have to do today, so taking time to eat (AND eat when I'm hungry) haven't really been strengths of mine!

I tend to not eat, so when I do...watch your fingers!, and I eat so fast, that it takes my brain a long time to realize that I've eaten!

SO, I'm excited, too, to incorporate these concepts in my daily routine.

Let's watch those scale numbers DROP!!

AWESOME!!! Great job, Richard!!! WOO HOO indeed!

Wonderful!

Be sure to let us know when you hit it!

I'm .6lb away from my first milestone of a 10 lb loss!



If you dropped your next weight milestone to 230, we could celebrate earlier!!

ACES!!! Great job ladies! (Great job, guys, too....) but GREAT JOB LADIES!!

I SO think we girls can pull it out again!

Congratulations to all...losers, gainers and maintainers! KUDOS for sticking it out and fighting the good fight, even if it feels like you're back sliding...STAY IN THE FIGHT!



I'm so grateful to be surrounded by such inspiring people

Hey, Amy!! WELCOME!



You've found a GREAT place to gather among friends and cheerleaders!!

It's great to have you here.

I've just started week 2, and I'm loving all the encouragement and conversation that flies around here every day!



Jump right in!
