    I'm game! I've got 70 pounds to lose total so this would be a good start for me on that journey. I've only just watched Twilight and am currently reading that book. I thought the movie was slow but the book is actually very good.

    I just read the article and I am so excited. Mostly because I feel like there is hope that Stephenie has more up her sleeve! And it gives me more to do while I wait for June 30! I like the idea of seeing things from Brees POV. I love how she has such intricate details about each character. I LOVE her writing style and her imagination. I really hope she continues the saga. Even if it means coming from more than just Bella and Jacob abd Edward. I think I'm more in love with the whole "Forks" world than I am with Bella and Edward. Just meaning that as long as we can stay in Forks, I'm a happy camper. Does that make any sense at all? Are you picking up what I'm putting down?:wink::laugh:

    And thanks usmc. Glad your hubby is home! You deserved to slack off and celebrate!!!!

    What I'd like to do is to start a thread each week so that we can all connect & share how we're doing, how we've done the previous week, what we're succeeding at, what we're struggling with, and be able to provide each other with the support that we all need on this journey.

    And along the way, we can chat a bit about the upcoming movie, any interviews we've seen that have piqued our interest, etc. hahaha

    I am so excited to see so many people already interested in participating! Yeah!! :laugh: :laugh:

    So ...I HAVE to ask ..... what team are you on ? Team Edward? Team Jacob? Team Switzerland? Who's your favorite character? Favorite book? Favorite quote?

    I am one of those oddballs who isn't on either Team Jacob or Edward - I am all about Carlisle! Eclipse was my favorite book, so I am really eager to see the movie (not to mention that the interviews w/ the cast so far have me so excited!). My favorite quote is also Carlisle's and I think that it applies to our journey here as well ....

    "Like everything in life, I just had to decide what to do with what I was given." Carlisle Cullen, New Moon

    I actually love Alice the most. Carlisle is my second favorite. Alice is just too cute and Carlisle is just so darned wonderful.

    I will be recovering from my hysterectomy (June 7th) when Eclipse comes out. I've actually lost most of the weight I wanted to. My goal will be to have completely toned arms, thighs, and belly before the surgery. Then my other goal will be to be mostly recovered, maintain my weight, and slowly work back into exercise by the time the movie is out.

    No loss again but it doesn't really help that I haven't been very focused with food lately. TOM is approaching this week as well so I am debating to weigh in or not this coming weekend. I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks, so my goal by then is to be in the 130's. I know I can do it if I just stay focused and not let the hubby being home throw me off anymore.:grumble: I hope everyone else has a good week.

    So... I fell off the wagon.... I could use any and every type of motivation I can get lol I need to get back on track and focus! I have long days 8am-8pm m-f....any ideas on what I can do for exercise? I really like going outside to run, but by the time I get home it's already dark and I don't feel comfortable....but I'm always so tired and end up eating dinner asap and going to bed around 9pm and waking up around 7am:embarassed: Any ideas???


    New Moon rocks btw! I think I'm going to watch it this weekend

    Hi Kid!

    When I used to work crazy hours, I did alot of walking.

    Do you get a lunch break? Try splitting it up, spend the first half of the time walking and then eat. Use any breaks to walk whereever you can. Park further away from your job. Then just do a nice beefy workout on the weekend, like a long run, extra cardio, a bootcamp, whatever floats your boat.

    As far as needing motivation, you already came here and asked. I think you've got it under control! Welcome back!

    usmc, I hear ya, I've been working out but slacking on tracking my food and I think that's what's causing my weight to hang out longer than I want it to:grumble: It's amazing how much tracking the food really helps me lose weight, I ca't figure out why I stopped? :tongue:
    Kid, we're all here to help motivate you! :flowerforyou: Do you have any 5-10 min breaks? Walking, doing stairs, or having an exercise band at work to squeeze in some sets on a break are things I used to do...3 to 5, 5-10 minute workouts can be just as effective as one 30-45 minute workout :smile: Also, I know it's hard because it took me awhile to get used to it when I did it, but is doing a short jog in the am before work possible? I hated rolling out of bed 30 mins earlier, but 5 mins into the jog I'd wake up and love the fresh air/less-crowded roads that early...plus it's energizing and you get your workout done first thing! :smile:

    Down .6 this week. I was hoping it was going to be more :ohwell: but I guess it's better than nothing! Only 9 1/2 more weeks till Eclipse comes out. I don't know where all you Twilight fans are but I wish you would check in so I could see how everyone else is doing with their goals. Well I hope everyone is doing well. Keep up all the hard work and stay motivated I know you guys can do it! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

    Hey! I lost another 2.5#! Woo woo!

    Have you all seen the new trailer for Eclipse? Its getting so much closer I just can't take the pressure of waiting anymore:laugh: I feel like a fiend.... Willing to head to some swanky warehouse and buy a bootleg, lol No I won't because its just not the same. But seriously, I'm jonsen for some vamps and werewolfs! hahaha

    My sister is moving to Washington in the fall to finish her masters at the university. I plan to visit just so we can drive out to Forks, not cuz I'm helping her move....hahahahaha!

    OK, I'm outta here. Happy Hump day ladies!

    Well I'm joining a bit late, but I still think I can make it. Here's my ideal progression:

    4/23 SW - 128.2
    4/28 CW - 127.2
    4/30
    5/7
    5/14 125
    5/21
    5/28
    6/4 120
    6/11
    6/18
    6/25
    6/30 115

    But I'd be happy with 120 by 6/30!

    Oh and I'm TEAM EDWARD!!!!
