  • I'm in as well! I've been on this site for quite a while but this is the first time I'm serious about the weight loss. I reached a point where I have disgusted myself. Time to make changes!!

    Once I reach that goal. I'll likely go further. I'm taking a low carb approach. Please wish me luck and add me!!

    I want in too... I've been very frustrated ... my goal is to exercise an average of 45 minutes a day, then increase that to 60 minutes a day by the end of March.

    So it's Sunday and I don't have a lot of progress to report. I've been sooooo sick all week, I could not work out. But you'd think I'd lose weight anyway,since I've only been eating soup and loads of liquid. But noooooo.My weight is at a stand still.

    Hopefully I'll be well enough in a day or two to do some form of exercise. Apparently, without moving my body,the weight just refuses to move! :sick:

    So I thought I'd give an update on my progress. My goal was to reach 195 and today I'm 198.4. I wanted to see an improvement in my blood pressure and reflux. My blood pressure has been great and my reflux meds have been decreased. I wanted to be able to run/jog, and I just ran a mile this past Saturday. I wanted to be able to complete a program like Insanity and I'll be starting Focus t25 next week!!! God is awesome!! I couldn't do it without him!!
