    Tami!!!! We're on the right track here in our office, we're doing our own biggest loser and we had to weigh ourselves in front of the others, putting in $1.00 per week and after the first 12 weeks whomever lost the most will get the money. No laxitives involved!!!

    Husband's with "googly eyes" HaHa! It is for that very reason that I have a pair of too small for me pants hanging in my closet, where I can see them EVERYDAY.....when I used to wear them.....the man absolutely DROOLED over me.....DROOLED!!!!

    So they are my daily inspiration to keep at it! I am so going to wear those black pinstriped pants again! I hope soon!

    I am going to the gym every day before work and am committed to working out on the weekends too. I got my Honey into doing Pilates DVDs now too. He is so supportive, it is AWESOME!

    I have started eating grilled salmon a lot and I love it. It works great flaked up and over salad too. Spaghetti with ground turkey is pretty good too....no seriously! I was so surprised too. It is all about the spices baby!

    Also watch your caffeine intake. It will dehydrate you and your not getting the benefits of the water in the iced tea if it is full of caffeine. Decaf Iced tea and coffee taste pretty much the same to me....it just takes some time to get past the headaches...but all in all it is better for you.

    Let's keep each other going and I suggest everyone hang a pair of black pin-striped pants (or whatever article of clothing does it) to keep the inspiration right in front of your face!!!

    DeiselMama...what about exercise tapes/DVDs at your local library? Or maybe purchase 1 or 2 and see if friends have others and swap every once in a while to keep it from getting boring.

    Oh and try dancing your butt off in your living room with your little one! I've done this before with my 3 year old...not only is it exercise...my little guy laughs and laughs....we have a great time....he thinks I'm so fun and it is so good to play and laugh while exercising too!

    Just keep moving! :flowerforyou:

    Hi everyone! Checking out the nutrition info on Activia, the ad for myfitnesspal caught my eye. I've got a wedding to go to in June, so my goal is to lose weight and get healthy to dance at my daughters wedding. I chose Jill150 as my user name because 150 is the number I am looking for on the scale. I haven't seen that number in over 19 years, so I'm sure this will require some lifestyle changes. :blushing: I realize 50 lbs in only 5 months is a bit optimistic or maybe just out of reach, but if I can make the effort until then, I am sure I'll be feeling better and want to continue the effort. Here's hoping with lots of prayer and support from my dear husband.
