Fell off the wagon HARD! I got careless and not only did I put back on the 18 pounds that I had lost but an extra 2!!! AARGH!! Is there anyone out there who has a weight loss goal of 50 pounds (or more) and would like to stard a group thread with weekly weigh-ins?? I'm real good at supporting others, just not so good doing it for myself :cry: I need accountability partners!

p.s. - it was sooooo depressing to see my little froggy slide way back over to the left *sniff* *sniff*

    I totally am in the same boat...I need to lose about at least 50, and I've gained back 20. We can do this, we just have to keep ourselves accountable! You're braver than me, I didn't want to put my weight gain back in, but I think that's what's allowing me to make my excuses. I'll do it today and we will start losing weight!

    Count me in too! I have about 70lbs to lose. I am trying to focus on smaller goals, like just reaching a 10lb loss, so I am not overwhelmed. I actually joined three months ago, but it wasn't until yesterday that I really started to log my food and exercise. I think having others to encourage (and be encouraged by!) will be great!!

    Dang! I think we might have started something, ladies! I think the best way to keep this thread updated is to copy/paste the info and everyone can update at first weigh in. I'll start:

    Anthrochix (Shannan) Start weight 207 1/2 left to goal 59 1/2

    The best thing I can tell you is get your MIND in the right state. =] I have lost 55lbs after my 1st child who is ONLY a year old. I am actually 15lbs lighter now than when I got pregnant. So get your mind prepared to do the work, then all you have to do is get up and do something. Obviously the eating part is harder. I got on WW's and lost most of my weight, BUT this is alot like WW's! You have tons of support here.

    Also, take pictures every month. That way you can SEE your results and the lbs falling off. Nothing more motivating than seeing your own pictures of yourself looking and feeling better! GOOD LUCK!
