    New member in the group. Just getting back on the wagon after falling on my head during the holidays. By next November, I will have all new habits, and will be much more fit and active than I am now. Next November all the cookies and treats will NOT BEAT ME! I will develop new habits and activities and coping mechanisms and learn moderation in all things, so that I can live healthy for the rest of my life!

    Back again! Just because I leave mfp does not mean I stopped my journey. I want to live a realistic life where I'm not connected at the hip to mfp in order to lose weight. I have been continuing my weight loss, and will update my stats tomorrow, but for now let's get this started :)

    Like Paula, my loss has slowed big time. That said, I am eating more (volumne) and have significantly increasde my health and unhealthy carbs. I want to leave processed sugar behind again and hope by loss picks up to a whooping 2 pounds a week!

    Welcome Liz and Tara (and anyone else I may have missed who is new!)

    This is a great time to start. Hope we can keep you with us! I think you will find this a very positive group and hopefully we will shake off the posting lethargy that seemed to come up in December (I blame the sugar!) and roar back to our prime.

    Best of luck in the challenge and looking forward to your posts!

    Welcome cookiev! You have already made a nice start and picked a reasonable goal for the month. Now best of luck blowing that goal away!

    Glad to have you with us. I hope you will post on some of the other threads and help us get to know you. We have a widely varied group and I think we all get along smashingly!

    Hi, Cookie and Etherlilly. Welcome! The more the merrier. :)
  • My Numbers:
    SW:308.2

    I managed to make it through Christmas and travel for 10 days and I lost 0.1 lbs! That says a lot about the changes I am making although slow they are taking effect! I am hoping to get things moving a bit faster in January though and actually meeting that 289 goal I have had for so long :)
