Just read everyone's posts and this group so supportive and I love being here. Thank you Marie for starting this for us.
I just received my new DVD by Leslie Sasone in the mail. Walking with party songs and HIIT interval walking. Excited to try this out. It is a 3 mile walk.
Thanks ladies for the delicious recipes.0 -

Wow well done on the losses everyone!
I was hoping to go out for a walk today with my children, but its really cold, snowing and the ground is really slippery so we are staying indoors. I'm going to do some workout videos later when the children have gone to bed

I just weighed myself and I am down 3 pounds! I'm so excited to see the progress. Since getting active and drinking water was my weaknesses I have done some simple easy things: park far in parking lots, walk in place during dishes, dance mopping and sweeping while cleaning (put on my jams and go!), and I drink lots of tea so I make sure that I have a huge cup of water with each one. I also keep in mind that this is PROGRESS not perfection. So I congratulate myself a lot and check in often! This group helps keep my mind on my goal! Thanks!0

Basic recipe - use a 1 cup mason jar, add
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup greek yogurt
1.5 tsp maple syrup or honey or agava
1.5 tsp Chia seeds
1/4 cup diced fruit or berries.
Place lid on jar...shake to mix and place in fridge overnight...can be made up to 4 days in advance.
I like vanilla so I use vanilla yogurt and vanilla rice milk. I have also experimented with flavors like apple and cinnamon, banana and cocoa.
So fast to pull one out in the morning and eat on the run. I eat them cold but they can be heated too! They also fill me until lunch.
Let me know if you try them and what flavor combinations you come up with.
Sounds interesting and very yummy. I will try it when I get to Phase 2 of my eating plan.
Right now still on Phase 1 of South Beach to give myself a kick start.
Just did a screen of this! Thank you so much!!

The first step for me on this complicated journey was to decide that losing weight was my number one priority and that something had to change and it was probably me. That made me willing to learn and try new ideas.
Dogs have been walked and soon a good friend will be here to go for a walk around the neighborhood ----yes, I am grateful daily for the good weather here and the great neighborhood I live in that makes daily walking possible, easy, and fun.

Good evening ladies, just got in from work and have been catching up on all your posts. Thank you all for helping me stick with the program, your posts inspire me . Congratulation to all who have weighted in today and lost.
eyegirl.... if there is an easier way to get to this thread I'd like to know about it too.
Got a hill run planed for tomorrow morning. I haven't run since the 1st January so am really looking forward to getting out there , the weather forecast is snow showers and very cold so will have to wrap up warm. Hubby and granddaughter are going to walk the hills while I run so won't be on my own.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Update...officially down another pound!
In our meeting this morning our wonderful leader talked about negative self talk and thoughts and how they can grow and fester preventing us from succeeding. Things like "I have too much to lose, I will never do it" or "I won't keep it off so why try". I am thankful that there is no negative vibes here! We may all have moments of doubt but do not let it take over! Stand tall and strong - the battle is in our heads not our bellies!
