My 10 year high school reunion is in 4.5 months and i reeeaaaalllly need to get serious about losing some weight before then...i weigh, oh, 50 lb more than i did when i graduated. i don't want to get back down to my high school weight (maybe eventually), but i'd at least like to lose 25 lb or so by then.
i've had a few other significant events in the last few years (vacations, getting married, honeymoon) that i thought would be enough motivation for me to lose weight, but alas, the scale has kept creeping and creeping for the past 4 years. i think it is because i've never really been accountable to anyone regarding my dedication to getting healthy, so i'm looking for that here. my husband also wants to lose, but we completely enable each other, so we haven't had too much luck since we started living together. i think if i found some pals to be accountable to here, i could take motivation home to the hubby too.
anyone willing to keep me in check and i'll do the same for you?

You know what, I think I'm in.....I think I'm just like you. I recently got married and tried to lose weight for the wedding last October and I didn't and since the wedding I gained even more. I keep saying I need to make logging here part of my routine but I haven't. I'm ready to start being accountable and this will help. How do you want to keep each other in check? We can report to each other weekly, every other day....This is a good idea, thanks!0

I'm in. I've got my 10 year coming up and I wanna be 25-30 down from where I am today.
I've already lost some, but I still have a good ways to go.0 -
wow you guys are awesome! i think for starters we should make sure we check in once a week. say hi, report progress, whatever. how do you guys feel about messaging individually? i'm ok with it, so feel free to message me...sometimes it seems like these boards can get a little out of hand and off topic.
alisha123, it does sound like we are in the same boat...my wedding was in september and i've gained about 10 more since then (!). and i've also been an irregular logger...and even when i'm somewhat consistent i tend to log during the day but by dinner its a free for all. so i guess my first step will be recording EVERYTHING i eat for a straight week, even on the weekend. i'll consider that a small goal, even if i don't lose weight.
hartkid13, when is your reunion?0 -
wow congrats on your progress so far!0

It is in the fall, but I'm not sure of the date. I think in October.0

For my first week, I will also be sure to log everything! I also usually log during the day at work but then at home during nights and weekends I always slack. :ohwell: And I really like that idea of logging what I eat ahead of time, I think that'll help! We can message individually, I'm fine with that.0

alright, time to put in my dinner. i had a veggie burrito and only ate half, but it was huge so i think i'm still over my calories for the day...it is nearly impossible to stay under my limit if i don't get a gym session in!0

Hey it's the 10 Year Reunion Club!!
Mine is supposedly in June but we haven't heard a word. (Stupid slacker popular kids made the worst class student body, and still do!! :laugh: ) Maybe it will end up being in September or October, which would be great. I have 20+lbs to work on losing!
BTW, welcome to MFP LisaPisa.

Hey, Cutie. Long time no see.0 -
I was thinking updates each Monday. Does that sound doable? We could send them by PM if everyone is more comfortable with that.0
-
Oh Mondays! *groans*
I hate being held accountable on Mondays. I never eat right over the weekends!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Mondays work for me. I don't care if we post on a thread or through PMs. I am flexible. :glasses:0 -

thanks for the welcome lauryn1981have you googled to see if maybe there's a website set up somewhere for your reunion? maybe the slacker kids just didn't bother to try to contact kids they didn't already have info for...
i've been here since january, but i've been so sporadic that i'm not on the boards much. ok time to put up an actual picture of myself (instead of my adorable puppy lucy) so i can track my progress. this time i'm serious!0 -
Mondays are prob the best, that way over the weekend that's what I'll think about when I want to eat! PM is fine with me too. Lisa, your puppy is soooo cute....I know I should put a recent picture up too....this one is at least 3 years old0

alright got my pic up. i can check in mondays. although even if i eat right i seem to weigh more on mondays than later in the week. does anybody know how to change the size of the pictures, or are we constrained to a little square? i couldn't find any pictures of just me (that were recent) so i had to crop them down to the square size, which only shows my face. i guess i'll have to take some just of me as i progress to post on here :blushing:0

No websites. I've joined the Facebook group they created. Many of us keep posting, asking for details. Thank goodness for networking sites like FB, keeping me in the loop with kids I probably don't really care that much about!! :laugh:0
