Can I join in? My daughter graduates High School in June and I want to be in those pictures of her special day! I haven't been in any family pictures in 3 years!! YES 3 years! I don't have one with my kids on any bdays (including daughters 16th) and our trip to Disney this past June. I promised her I would be in the pictures from graduation.
I haven't had to worry about holiday weight gain because it's not my holiday so maybe I should be thankful for that but I did get a nasty strep throat (isn't this a kids sickness? lol) kept me out of the gym for over a week and the antibiotics are still killing me.
What do we have to do? fill me in!

I am having trouble with motivation. I am glad the the first is here maybe I will feel a renewed interest in losing. I haven't been working out or logging my food since christmas. I have gained but I'm not sure how much yet. I refuse to weigh till Monday. I just hope it is not too bad.

Well, enough doom and gloom. :sad:

EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Happy New Year everyone!

Completed my first day of the Power 90 program. Even got my roommate to join in! So excited for 2011! )

I thought everyone up and left the challenge after the last thread got locked! Was posting in the wrong thread! But I'm still here and ready to make it happen in 2011!

So i weighed in on the morning of the 1st so i would have a good bench-mark for the year: 179.5 (which is up 1 lb from the monday before Christmas, but down 3 from my holiday high-point). I did hair/makeup, went to grab my cell phone (camera) and by the time i stepped back on the scale it said 180.0 lol. So the pic i have shows 180 haha. Thats ok, i'll take it Ran my 5k on the first (i was a race volunteer, so it was a longgggg day!). Ran the whole thing (a first) and finished at 33:20 which is a personal best by 20 seconds. My next race is Feb. 5th and is a 4-miler. I have never run that distance, so i will be training hard over the coming month to be prepared for it. I am hoping for around 45 minutes, since the course is fairly hilly. Anyhoo, thats the news for me.... Doing my official weigh-in tomorrow and looking forward to the group taking back off again.... June 1st is no longer "next year" its only 5 months away! Time for me to step it up and set some more short-term goals!!

Day 2 of Power 90 completed. Threw in some zumba for good measure and boy am I feeling the soreness. I plan on having an amazing 2011 and this is just the start. Hope you all are having a good new year so far. Not sure what I'll weigh in tomorrow morning, but I am in a good mood and positive for a successful year of health and weight loss )

I had a lot going on this holiday season and I kinda disappeared. But I'm back and ready to get in gear and make this a great 2011 and kick these 50lbs butt. I'm hoping to look great by my birthday!

Hope everyone had a great New Years!

Congrats on finishing the 5k. I love running it is the best. It make me feel so good and when i dont run i feel miserable and my mind feels cloudy. lol. You are right about the only five months left. Lets make this a reality people. We can do this.
