    Question of the day: What is something that you are going to do differently this week?


    No mindless snacking this week. Only what I've planned for. If I didn't plan for it...I will NOT eat it. This will be tough. But I would like to see what happens. I like to call these my "What if" goals. Hope everyone has a great week! Tami

    I'd like to join this but more for weight maintence support and reduced measurements. I've hit my weight goal but it would be nice if my body parts were back where they belong so it seems strength training (which I loathe) is in the future for me. Plus, I tend to slack off when I am at a decent weight, so I would love some support with that aaaannnnd, oh yeah, supposed to quit smoking too (that was my failed new year's resolution). I'll have to re-post w/ my current measurements and what I would like them to be.

    Okey dokey everybody...as of now we have 102 members in our happy little group!! Tomorrow starts our first official day! :bigsmile:

    I am happy to make a chart showing everyone's progress. Just a heads up though...in order to be on the chart you actually have to participate in posting your weight. :wink:

    If you don't post your weight 2 weeks in a row you'll be in the grey section at the bottom of the chart.:indifferent: If I don't hear from you for 3+ weeks you'll just fall off the chart. :embarassed: Have no fear though....your data will not be lost. If for some reason you just couldn't find the thread (I highly suggest you bookmark it) but you kept up with your weight, you can always post a couple weeks all at once and I'll add you right back to the chart without any problem. :happy:

    :flowerforyou: Please remember that we are all here to support one another and offer encouragement. We all have our tough times where things don't work out the way we planned. No one is going to be rejected because they made a few mistakes or because they didn't make their goals. You are ALWAYS welcome here!!! :smooched:



    >>>>Just as a side note...please feel free to post pictures, stories, or thoughts of your progress along the way. If you haven't done so already....TAKE BEFORE PICTURES OF YOURSELF and take your MEASUREMENTS!. :devil:
    :blushing: Sorry, don't mean to yell but pictures tell so much. The scale has a tendency to hide the truth and the mirror can be misleading (good or bad). You might be stuck at a weight or even gain weight but you could be losing inches. Break out the tape measure and measure those body parts. Don't worry so much if you are doing it at "just the right place"...as long as you are consistent at the spot your are measuring you are good. Pounds are not the only way to track your progress. :tongue:

    Don't be surprised if you see some of my before pictures pop up here soon. :noway:


    <<<<<<<<<<< I realized after the fact that I went a little crazy with the emoticons. Forgive me. (tee hee!)

    Question of the day: What is something that you are going to do differently this week?

    I usu have my protein replenishment after an intense workout, so this week I'm going to have some before as well. It gives me such a tremendous boost and wards off fatigue and headache.

    I'll figure out my goals tomorrow when I weigh in, but I would LOVE a buddy. Really need the motivation. Even if you don't match my goals, feel free to add me as a friend! I'm 29, 6'0", medium build. Started gaining weight with poor eating habits and lack of exercise but trying to get back in shape for my October wedding. This challenge will end a week before my bridal shower so I want to feel beautiful!!!

    I'm also a grad student which means I don't have a whole lot of time (but really...who has hours to spare in their day?) but the benefit is that I get free membership to the gym. This half of the semester (which just started Monday) they have some great group fitness classes that fit into my schedule. So to really get me back on track, I'm going to push myself to go to classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday (which are the days that I'm on campus), and on the off days I'm going to get back on track with Couch to 5k (i'm on week 5, day 2). In addition to group classes and C25k, I'm also a fan of Tae Bo.
