Need to lose 100 lbs. or more? Lets start a group!

Hi Traclin

Thanks for posting on MONDAY CHECK INS. Don't you worry about unloading anytime of the week on here. Thats what this group was started for....right...to support one another. With all of us trying to lose 100lbs+. I am surprised not more people post the struggles on here or their accomplishments.

28.8lbs lose is great!!!!

Thank You for sharing your food find. Excellent choice.

Please count me in, I have a lot to lose and a long road ahead of me. Would love some other people who are in the same boat as me to chat with and add me as a friend. I am new to this so please add me.

Oh my goodness I am so excited!! I turned in the application and the receptionist checked it over. Said all looked great and asked if I wanted to schedule my appt with the surgeon right then! So, I have my appt with the surgeon on Oct 14th and I start my evaluation process. My ins does require the 6 month eval period, so looks like my surgery may happen around April I am soooo excited!!!

What a great day for you. I know you so want to do this. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Phoxy........welcome to the group. I sent you a friend request. This place is so kewl for motivation. Just keep coming back.

Hey Robin..........it never occurred to me about the bloating from soda's. I gave up cola type sodas a few years ago. And recently have pretty much given up on the lemon lime ones. I only have one maybe once in a blue moon. I now either drink water, hopefully with lemon in it or I go for the crystal lite drink. That's great info about the bloating. And besides all that...........the stuff they put in sodas regular or diet is amazing. I'm sure it's not too healthy for us. Thanks for that info.

I'm in. I've got about 145 lbs to lose. I've already lost 15 lbs so far but still got a long way to go.

Hey everybody! Doing great here! The pounds are melting away and I am loving my zumba classes. I went three days last week and planning on four days this week. My sweetie and I walked a mile yesterday morning and then went skating in the afternoon. First time I have skated in years. Fun fun fun!

I have so much more energy than before. Drinking lots of water and eating fresh as often as possible has really livened me up. Now I feel downright hyper pretty much all the time. Enjoying it.

Wish everyone the best!

I don't mind you being chatty..........it's waking everyone up I think. When you say check-in are we talking about Monday weigh in??? Cause I check in everyday.........I don't wanna lose that number on my home page where it tells you how many days you've logged in. That's real important to me. I can't weigh in today cause I'm not home. I will wait til next Monday when I get home and have a couple days to get rid of all the water weight I've put on from eating out while being out of town and eating in restaurants and fast food.
So keep up the good chats and stay on fire. It keeps me, and I'm sure a lot of others, motivated.

Thanks cass for coming in everyday and posting. I look forward to seeing you. Its such a new group we don't have a set amount of reg posters....would love more members to come post and chat away. Then I won't seem so chatty :blushing:

We were just thinking of getting member out from hiding and come post. To let us know how they are doing. So thought lets make a MONDAY CHECK INS. Doesn't matter what you want to talk about or post about...just let us know that they are here and working on losing weight or need support to get motivated or about the cute neighbor they seen or the housework that never gets done. :sad:

IF you want we can try and set up a weigh-in day....I am open for anything...my first weigh in is on Wed...but I don't mind changing days. Might be hard to get others to change days.....but if we get some response we can do it for sure.

I've lost 10 lbs! YAY ME!!!

Count me in!!

I need to loose around 150lbs and can use all the support I can get. We all need all the support we can get!

Let's start each day with a new commitment to follow our meal plans and exercise routines. That way, we've always just started and maybe it won't get old. I hate getting into "ruts" so I'll just think of everyday as day one!

Have a good day, everyone!

Thank you stephi for the support.

I feel good even this moring that I didn't eat anything. Such a small thing to some people that can control what they eat. But for most of us I think it is a daily struggle if not an hourly struggle not to snack.

Have a great day.

This is a cool group. Let's just try to help each other out and everyone try to keep moving forward!

I hope everyone is having a good week!

I've lost 10 lbs! YAY ME!!!

YAY!!!!! WTG!!!!!!:happy:

Hope everyone had a successful Monday. Thank you members for posting on MONDAY CHECK INS and letting us know how you are doing. Good or bad we want to support.

Being Tuesday today, I was thinking lets do a TUESDAY TEMPTATION POSTING.

Sooooooooo members lets spills the jelly beans. Please post one of your greatest temptation. Could be food related, could be not wanting to do a certain exercise, could be the neighbor next door. :noway:

I am sure it doesn't matter where you are on your journey, everyone still gets tempted. So please members let us hear what it is and how you are winning or not winning that temptation.
