Here's what you do:
Post your weekly weights, your successes and struggles, and give support to the person above you!

Please give notes of encouragement to your fellow traveler on this road.

For Fun: As you post your weights each week, also tell us something you tried for the first time towards healthy living and how you liked it during that week. (ie. new recipe, workout, game, etc)

NOTE: These posts reset at 500. If the thread locks, go to the last post and look for the link to get to the second installment.

To make things easier, let's keep the same weigh-in days from the previous three months, which happened to be Saturday.

    rebeccawester...you are so close to goal witih 8lbs left...we can definately support you so you can make it THIS MAY!

    I took my dog for extra walk just to add exercise to my day. I usually say I don't have the time but it felt good after I did it and it did take time but it didn't really matter to the rest of my day. And I also enjoyed the sunny morning and didn't feel like I was wasting time since my dog appreciated it!

    I've gained a few pounds back from my lowest weight and I want to get back there. I probably lost those last few pounds too quickly, and as a result of too much restriction, so I'm keen to get back there in a way that's more sustainable.
