    January 1st ... new start! Looking to get rid of 25 lbs by June 1st, so 20 by Easter sounds do-able.

    Starting weight - 173
    Goal weight in 2015 - 145

    I am committing to drinking 8 glasses of water a day, going to Crossfit 3-4 x a week, and logging every morsel that enters my mouth!

    That's the way to go Kate. My eating plan has it set up where you can have 1 sevings of cup cake in moderation but would have to leave off the carb servings. I did not do that at our Christmas dinner and now I am having to lose what I gain. Tomorrow is Weigh in Day for me. I got to lose 1/2 pound to reach the 10 lbs mark since I have been on tis new Diet Plan. doing good Kate.

    Hi caliecat
    I'm in the south west of England! Just a couple of miles from Stonehenge. I love the fact we are all from all over the place and fighting the fat together!

    I would like to join! 20 pounds by Easter would be great!

    Starting weight - 145.8
    Goal weight - 125.8

    I'm going for 15,000 steps a day, completing my MFP challenges, working out to one DVD, logging all my food, drinking all my water. That should pretty much fill up my day!! I will post my weight every Saturday.

    :D Somebody called me "disciplined" so I'd like to share where I learned some great things that have helped me stay focused on my eating and exercise one day at a time.

    "The Thin Commandments Diet" by Stephen Gullo---there's a diet that I didn't use, but many great ideas like "Strategy is stronger than willpower".

    "Gratitude and Trust" by Paul Williams and Tracy Jackson---it's about using all the strategies in 12 step recovery programs for people with ordinary challenges---it starts with "Something has to change and it's probably me".

    For anyone who is seeking a solution----there are great ones available if you really want them.

    If it is important to you, then you will find a way, if not, then you'll find an excuse.

    Thank you CalieCat. It has taken me since my youngest was born to get this far though, due to stopping and starting all the time. He turns 4 in July so its taken a long time. This time I am very determined though and want to get this weight off!

    I think I am going to get the wii out later as I have a couple of work out games - I have the wii fit game and a biggest loser game which get me moving when I cant go out walking. A few months ago though I slipped off the wii fit board and tore the ligaments in my ankle and I hav'nt used the wii since :open_mouth: so I'll have to be careful so I don't slip off again!

    MummyKate85 - the Wii is great! I weight train 3x/week and didn't think the Wii would do a lot, but the tennis game really gives me a workout - no fit board needed. Good luck!

    Hello everyone and Happy 2015! I have put on 40 pounds since I have been in pre menopause. Five years later, I'm in full menopause now, I think. I'm hungry all the time!! The doctor said when a woman starts losing estrogen her body craves more food. So, I haven't done very well, eating late at night (work second shift) and eating more junk food. I lost my willpower……so, I will be working on willpower and better choices very hard! I will commit to putting more fruit and veggies in my snacks. This is the first time I have been overweight exempt for 2 pregnancies. I need to be healthy and want to be healthy for the rest of my life!!

    Darlene, I think that happens to lots of us. But I am finding now that insulin for my diabetic my problems now. for if I take too much I get low blood sugar and it gets too low and cause me to crave carbs, I am finding that is hard to ignore it.I give in to the cravens and get fatter.
    I do hope your doctor and you can get something work out.
    do want to Welcome you to our group. A nice group of men and girls
    Glad to have you with us.
