Hey!

If I haven't gotten a chance to say this already welcome to our group! We are all here for the same purpose which is shedding some pounds by Christmas and giving support to others along the way. I decided I should post this up early since some people's Wednesday happens before mine in New York.

Anyways. Feel free to say anything you want on here because I believe in having fun. Remember everybody does things differently and what works for one will not work for all. With that said any advice you can give another group member will be greatly appreciated.

Here's what you should post on this thread ( for those of you who just posted yesterday in the weekly check in thread you can either repost here or just wait until the same day next week to post on here. The idea is that weigh-ins will be Wednesday for a couple reasons.

1. Christmas is on Wednesday this year
2. Some of us splurge a little on the weekends which make an accurate reading on Monday almost impossible.
3. It's just a guideline. IF you'd rather post your results to this week on a different day you have 7 days till I post a new week.

Feel free to let me know if you have any good ideas to make this group better. I will post my stats either tomorrow or thurs...

Cheers :)

Here are the stats I want on this thread

1. Current weight (optional)
2. weight lost since last week
3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week
4. Goals for next week
5. weight to go by Christmas

    If I can lose 1lb, every week then I WILL be 10 stone 5 by Christmas. That's my projected loss on mfp's goals, so all I have to do (in theory) is keep within my limits. YEAH!

    Everyone is doing so well! And even if you didn't lose (or happened to gain), don't stress it. Just keep on keepin' on... we're doing the right thing, one day at a time!! My first couple of weeks back to working out and counting calories saw a gain, but about 2-3 weeks later, whamo - I'm seeing the signs of success.

    1. CW: 140.6 lbs.
    2. 1.8 lbs. down from last Wednesday. However, not sure I believe the scale or that amount of drop. Have a feeling it was mostly water-weight... We'll see what next week brings.
    3. NSV: just today I finally started biking to work. It's an easy 2.5 miles, and I live in Southern California. No more excuses!!!
    4. Goal for next week: Keep on biking, try to get the workouts in that have slacked a bit this last week, with the holiday and life and all. Really need to make weight training a priority!!
    5. 5.6 more to go by Christmas, or whatever poundage of FAT (combined with the hopeful addition of LEAN muscle) it takes to (a) fit into all my clothes, and (b) lose the giggling!! Bike shorts tell all, so I'm hoping not to blind anyone :noway:

    Go, team!!

    3. 7-year-old grandson noticed I'm not as fat anymore! :noway: Who you callin' fat, kiddo?
    4. I'm going to increase my workout from 1 hour a day to 1 1/2 hours a day.
    5. 32 more pounds by Christmas ... no excuses ... just DO IT! :bigsmile:

    1. Current weight Same

    2. weight lost since last week 0

    3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week: This was a tough one because I have been struggling to get all my tools in order. So I have to say my NSV for the week was actually making a meal plan. I made a calendar with all meals planned for each day for the next week starting this Sat. Shopping list is almost finished. Grocery shopping planned for Friday. This has been the toughest part for me to get back in the game.

    4. Goals for next week: Stick to planned meals and snacks and log log log my food!

    5. weight to go by Christmas: 21
