Hey everyone!
It's so exciting to see all these members - let's do this!

My weight today is 232.4 (UGH....)
By next Tuesday: 230.4 (still ugh, but better)

Some things to think about:
- if you eat three meals a day and two snacks a day, that is 35 opportunities to make the right choice (adjust the numbers for what fits your days, but it's likely similar). One 'bad choice' isn't so bad - that's 34 out of 35. But it's the giving up because of the bad choice that'll get you in trouble. Don't wait until tomorrow, or the first of next month, or whatever it is you tell yourself - get back up and make the right choice at the NEXT opportunity!
- there are approximately 3500 calories in a pound of fat. We have until next Tuesday to use up 7000 extra calories. What changes are you going to make to do this? EVERY LITTLE THING COUNTS . . . every minute, every mouthful (stand instead of sit, gum instead of snacks). Let's share our ideas - but let's keep it healthy!
-on top of other things, I am going to do 25 sit ups each day, for the next 7 days. Anyone else up for it?

Weigh in next Tuesday - motivation welcome in the meanwhile :drinker:

    I'm in and I'm motivated! Let's do this. 4 Tuesdays = 8 lbs!! That's almost the big 1-0! They add up quickly and I want them to add up downward, not the other way!

    Way to go on the 2 pound loss, zacksnana! Keep doing what you're doing (and let us know what it is!)

    Welcome Joeysgirl - to the group and back on the wagon :)

    "YOU ARE ALWAYS ONE CHOICE AWAY FROM CHANGING YOUR LIFE" - make the right choices today; they'll be easier tomorrow.

    Diamond05- we're really in this together!

    Hi, I'm new to forums and groups but this sounded like something I could actually accomplish.

    Here goes:
    Previous: 257.0 lbs :sad: :noway:
    Today May 28th: 254.4 lbs
    Only 119lbs to go! :frown:

    I'm definitely in for the situps. Knowing I've made an interweb commitment to it might just kickstart me up off the sofa and get the ball rolling. (Right now, I'm the ball!)

    Good luck, everyone! :happy:

    I haven't weighed in today. Going to later on after I go to the gym. I weighed 146.8 last time I weighed this weekend. I'm hoping to get down to 105-110. My lowest weight is 112, so I know its possible. I was still flabby so 105 isn't far off!

    Love this idea! I was doing well losing a few pounds just logging my food, but slipped up and gained a bunch of weight back. Hopefully this will help me keep focused.

    Today, May 28th: 156lbs
    Next week: 154lbs??

    So far my plan is to drink 1 extra glass of water with ever meal and snack, and get in 1 hour of activity every day: walking, running, yoga, (anything really, just to get into the routine of working out). And I'm in for the 25 daily sit ups!

    Good luck all - can't wait for next week lol!
