    Last September I had a family reunion...and I was the biggest of 5 girls....I felt like an outcast...the my 4 sisters are so thin and fit......but this year I want to be fit, look goodand feel better about myself....

    I'm going to "ACHEIVE" (not try) challenge number 1 and 2

    Here's a new healthy idea if you have not already tried it. This is my favorite snack.

    Veggie sticks and instead of using regular dip like ranch or whatever, use Taziki dip. It is delicious and only has 25 calories/tablespoon. Plus I love the cucumbers in it !

    there's a really good three bean salad that ellie krieger on food network makes too. It is black beans, green beans and edimame in an citrus ginger sauce. This is another favorite of mine. I will have to look for the recip but you can also find it on the food network website.

    oh, i am so in!! last summer was really bad for me becuase i was doagnosed with some health issues and i fell into a funk and gained over 30 pounds. i found myself really limited in the activities i could do, and i vow this year not to be limited by my size. it feels horrible to be fat in the summer (well anytime, really), and i dont want the best 4 months of the year to be ruined by weight. here's to us and a great new challenge!!

    This is a great group. I'd like to join in. I'm already in Crazy Canucks. And the more motivation, the more groups I join the better. Keeps me motivated and accountable.

    Starting weight 172.2
    Current weight 169

    I'm still under the weather and under doctor's orders to take it easy at least for another few days. I'm really missing my walks outside, working out and especially my sports. Hopefully, later on next week I can resume. So, I'm sticking to the water challenge and drinking the 64 oz.

    This is a great set up you guys got here. Good luck to everyone. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far. :flowerforyou:

    And thank you Realta for starting this group. :happy: I totally know what you mean when you said, new skirts/shorts for the summer. I just got the new Old Navy flyer and looked at the clothes and thought, awww, it would be so nice to fit into some of those. Hmmm...............

    welcome guys! its never too late to join!

    yep, i started this group because every summer is hating myself in skirts, giving out about my weight and generally not enjoying myself, so i thought, not again

    THIS SUMMER WILL BE DIFFERENT! :laugh:

    so i am doing great on the water challenge, going bowling/for a long walk tomorrow as my exercise!

    i usually hide myself away in the spare room on my elliptical for an hour,

    my hubby recently said that my life doesnt have to stop just cuz im losing weight,

    so i want to include more 'fun' exericse into my week, and do things that me and hubby can do together!

    hope you are all having a great weekend

    having a few glasses of wine tonight, its our 1st year anniversary as mr & mrs! so better really get extra exercise in tomorrow! :blushing:

    Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary to you Realta and your husband!!! :flowerforyou:

    Enjoy a great evening of celebration.

    Yeah, the title of the group is really motivating. Tks so much for welcome. Hope lots and lots will join us.

    I like how you said, you like to get some activities for you and your husband to keep fit together. Double the joy, double the results. A great way to get support is to stay active together with family and friends. What about dancing lessons, or sports. They're fun.

    :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: water. Doing good on this challenge. And I'm thinking of something healthy I've never tried before.

    Can I join as well??
    My weight last Thursday (2.26) was 312.8 lbs. I haven't weighed since, so this is last recorded

    My goal is to lose 60-65 lbs for my friend's wedding this summer.
    And to look a little more toned

    Good luck everyone!
