    Let's start of with something easy. I challenge everyone to drink 64 oz of H2O every day this week and to log their food EVERY day. :drinker:

    Sounds good, I always feel so much better when I drink all of my water!!!

    Introduction:
    My name is Jamie, I am 33 and mother of 2, a 5 year old boy and a 2 year old girl!! I own my own business and usually work 6 days a week and my husband is a firefighter so is gone for 24 hours at a time, so getting exercise can be difficult, but I think I have finally gotten myself on a schedule. I didn't start gaining weight until my 20's, but have just recently been trying to do something about it. Lots of bad habits to break, but am sticking with it and trying my hardest!!

    We can weigh-in on whatever day. I usually weigh-in on Fridays, just because I don't think it's "nice" to weigh-in on Mondays, LOL! How about we weigh-in anytime from Friday through Sunday. Then we can start fresh every Monday for the next week.


    i think we decide to report on monday-tuesday for whatever day you weighed in before that, see above...

    I'm back! I would LOVE to be in the (lower) 170s by New Years! That's right at 20 pounds I need to lose by then to get there. It should be totally reachable. I like to make modest goals so I don't get overwhelmed and fall behind (as I have time after time).

    Day 1 and I'm already slacking on my H2O! In my defense, my co-worker threw out my water bottle while I was up on the floor seeing patients. I'm a Respiratory Therapist (RRT) at a local hospital, for anyone wondering. I work three 12 hr shifts/week. My family and I just moved from IL to SC about 5 weeks ago, so I'm currently still orientating on day shift. Later this month I'll start my regular 7p-7a schedule. I'm also the mom of 2 very busy children; an almost 6 yr old girl and a almost 4 yr old boy. Needless to say, I try and exercise when I can squeeze it in. 20 minutes here and there is about all I can manage.

    Anywho, I'm drinking my H2O now! I better drink faster. :wink

    baby_becks - you can post when ever you feel like it. No hardcore rules here!

    My current routine is to weigh-in on Fri. So I'd report that weight on Monday morning so we can update our chart.

    As for food plan, I'm on a 1360 cal/day plan. I have no idea how it's calculated! All I know is that it works. :)

    Count me in. I've been loosing about 1.5lbs per week on average so I think I'll make my goal 20lbs by New Years. I have a lot of eating habit challenges coming up in the last 3 months of this year (birthdays, anniversary, parties, thanksgiving, xmas, new years, etc.) so I'll take all the moral support I can get.

    happy wednesday! i've done well today and yesterday and have honestly logged all of my food!

    i'm feeling really motivated with this group and appreciate the support.

    what are some of your biggest obstacles to losing weight? And how do you deal with it?

    I just weighed to be honest and nearly fell off the scale when I saw 167 it has to be because my leg is swollen from my fall yesterday because I can't do this. I am going to work out today pain and all because this going in the wrong direction is not good!!
