    I was so excited this morning when I weighed and I was down and thinking today was weigh in day. Started to post and realized I needed to do it Sunday or Monday. :grumble: Oh well I've got to tell everyone that I was 195.8 this morning. :laugh: So Happy haven't seen that weight in ages. Everyone have a great weekend. Keep it up everyone! Keep Logging every mouthful, Keep drinking, guzzling, whatever keeps you keeping on! Sonia in Northern MS. :drinker: :laugh:

    Week 1 is complete. Now onto Week 2. I really need to focus on drinking my water which I haven't been and Moving more now that my classes are almost over. Going to look into finding a local fitness gym both me and my DS can do together.

    Goals for this week ... move more, drink my water, find some Christmasy things to do with DS and Finish my class finals!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    This is my first time joining this group and looking for encouragement and support to get on track and get healthy.

    Hope everyone has made some progress on your monthly goal. This is a good idea to focus on especially before we go into the Christmas and New Year's Holidays. All that food. Maybe I need to rethink what I bring and serve even though they are traditions for us. ....
