    Ok, I'm new to this community/sharing business and I cannot figure out where or how you ask to become a member of this (or another) group? Can someone explain that to me?

    Here's what I committed to yesterday:

    For day 2 - 11/17:

    Call for appointment with CBT therapist for weight loss - can I find one? CARRIED FORWARD. ONCE AGAIN - I FOUND A NAME AND NUMBER, HOWEVER!
    Remain "in the box" (on my eating plan). DID THIS BUT ATE TOO MUCH...
    Go to gym - weights and biking!

    I haven't posted in over a week and was actually doing okay. But I had a setback yesterday so I'm back here as a show of self-support.
    Keeping my goals small today:
    JFT
    1. Be kind to myself. I'm healthy and doing ok.
    2. Go to BodyJam class.

    Just posted my goals as a atatus and thought I would share here as well.

    1) stay within calorie count
    2) check out new functional fitness room at gym.

    I can be a creature of habit but our gym has got a ton of new equipment. Of course I'm nervous about looking silly the first time I pick up battle ropes but today is the day I step outside of my comfort zone. Have a great day!
