Well i'm weighing in now. Today i weigh in at 223 so that is a gain but i have had some things happen lately that has stopped me from exercise but i'm motivated and Monday is a new week start and i will burn these lbs. I'm also buying a eliptical machine this week and instead of sitting and watching tv i will work out. lol

Oh Wow, I hope I am not too late to join in on this group. It fits in perfectly for me and my weight loss goal. Anyway, I started with MFP a couple months ago and well let's be honest the holidays came and I completely slacked on my weightloss goals. So what weight loss I originally had, I have completely gained back and a few more. I am kinda disgusted with myself and really wanting to change my life. I need motivation to get myself up and maintain in the right direction because I get so frustrated and sometimes bored with the same old things all the time. I suppose I need to spice it up a little hahaha.

See below link of a new realilty show coming A&E. I saw it this morning on Good Morning Amercia!! It looks like it is going to be better than The Biggest Loser because they have built in time for the mental issues that plague the morbibly obese.

So I'm really confused. I added my info I think last Friday and didn't think I had to post on that Sat because I had just started. I couldn't find my previous post to compare weight (wasn't the same as what's on my profile). I may have been kicked out...not sure...
