    The OP wanted to keep it a thread, not a group, but I'd be willing to start a group if people are interested! I need at least 3 people to PM me so I can activate it...I have to invite you to the group to get it started! :flowerforyou:

    Tomorrow is our first weigh in! I've had a rough weekend myself... Was down 1 lb earlier in the week, but am up today. :-)
  • I would like for it to be a group but don't know what PM is

  • I have weighed in and although I started back on MFP last Monday I consider that just a prelude to really starting today. I am also beginning a 6 week training to run a 5k. I am excited and know this time I can do it. If anyone wants to add me as a friend please do the more encouragement we can have the better. I know a lot of people are starting today and I wish you all good luck. Take one step at a time.

    Great idea! I've got back off holiday at my highest weight ever, but the kids went back to school today so I have some time to concentrate on me. And I'm definitely going to change my ticker to the phase goals- much less depressing!

    Goal weight: 145lbs
    Total to lose: 94 lbs

    Phase Four (1st May-31st July 2014): 20lbs (165----145lbs/ 10st4)

    Sorry about that date and weight format, but I'm in the UK and I can't get my head round it otherwise :ohwell:

    I'll post in the group, too.

    Hey everyone! Just watched tonight's episode, and MAN!!! What an inspiration!

    Well, got a bit derailed over the weekend and was out of town, but back on track this week, so I'll skip my weigh in until next Monday.

    Lots of new faces! Welcome!

    Start wherever you are. This phase goes through 10/31, and then we'll begin a phase two thread so this one isn't too long. Feel free to go to my profile and cut and paste my figures to customize to your own goals. ;)

    Great work everyone!

  • Hey Guys!

    This weekend I didn't do so well eating wise. Back on track this week though. I have began eating gluten free & organic as much as possible. I'm starting to get really used to it. Eating healthy & in portions is starting to come a little easier as well.

    Lost 12 pounds since the last time I weighed myself, which is fantastic!!

    If you have delicious, healthy recipes, please feel free to share!


    Good luck!! :)

    Hey there, just checking in. Doing pretty good, but the losses are kinda slow but thats probably just me eating a little more some days because of stress or whatnot. I am going in the right direction and have been since joining this challenge. Trying to keep my chin up, though. :)

    I'm motivated to do this, but I'm afraid to exercise in public. :'(

    Can you find a friend who wants to exercise too? It helps when there is someone there with you. I used to be nervous at the gym. I hired a personal trainer for a few sessions. It really gave me confidence when I had a routine and knew what I was doing. If neither of these are options, You can try distracting yourself from your fear with music, a good book or a favorite TV show. There are also MANY exercise videos on You Tube. You can start at home.

    I'm afraid to exercise in public to you weighto. I find pool exercise a good way to start. I'm 65 and have knee and hip problems. I was afraid at first about the bathing suit but found a good one to fit me in the Woman Within.com site. I tell myself that I'm doing this for myself. I want to be healthy and live to see my Grand daughter grow up. Soon you find that most people in water exercise groups are also overweight and come in all sizes and shapes. I now feel more comfortable and trying to rethink exercise more as an activity I enjoy and that will help me get to my three month goal. Try to forget about what people think about w eight or shape,you are trying to improve your health. I let this rule and ruin my life for 65 years. When I exercise I think about how different my life will be both health wise and with my thinking. I wish you success in all your efforts.:happy: :happy:
