    No, I don't think you're too late to still do this healthily. Welcome to our group! We're still at the beginning of our journey - Day 3! I wish you all health and success!

    (An aside: This not stepping on the scale thing is difficult for me...I'm so used to obsessing about it every day lately. I do use Wii Fit so I'll have to skip the body test if I want a true surprise come Sunday when I weigh myself for real).

    Hi Everyone!

    I weighed in today and will report my weight loss [hopefully] next thursday!

    As for stepping on the scale....I try really hard not to weigh everyday [a couple of times a day even] but just cant stop myself. I only record my weight once a week but do find the daily weighing a bit of a motivator. For example if I am 'up' I will watch what I eat more closely for that day. Having said that...it does determine my mood for that day also....YES ...I am obsessed by the scales. and really wished I wasnt...blah blah blah

    fattyellis: You just described my relationship with the scales perfectly!!! Like you said, if my weight is up, I have a bad day.....If it's down, the day is brighter! I'm totally with you on the scale obsession! But, on the up side: I eat better knowing that I have to check in with the scale each day.....

    I'm totally in! Hopefully this will be the motivation that I need! I get really motivated for a week and then I fall off. I know it is a choice to fall off but it is so hard. I work full time and I am in graduate school full time. I tend to eat my emotions when I am feeling stressed about school. Ugh.

    I am super excited for this small goal for now.

    Thanks all! I look forward to your support!

    Welcome! Today is day 4 - I hope you all have a great one! My mantra for the day will be "Feeling snackish? Have a drink of water!"

    Count me in...I need some accountability to keep myself on track through the holidays! I have eaten well all week, but had to overcome a little Halloween binge, so getting back on the plan.

    I'd like to join it it's not to late! Can't get that scale to more for my last 10 lbs, so this will be the motivation I need.

    I think I will be realistic this time and join this forum. I know that I need to lose 50lbs, but by Christmas, 12lbs would be awesome considering that I have been stagnant at 190lb for several months now. What day is weigh in?

    We don't have a specific weigh in day of the week (most people are continuing to use the day that they always use). I first posted on a Sunday night, so I'm using Sunday as my weigh in day. I'll start a new topic e.g. "12 lbs of Christmas - End of Week 1" each Sunday for people to post their results. (Or people can continue to use this topic too...which ever is easier!)

    Thanks for joining us - it's nice to work with others towards the same goal!

    So My first weigh-in today: 195.0. Thats a 5.5lb weighloss. I know much of this is water/bloating weight. I have been at this number for months now. Still encouraged as I did stay away from fastfood this week. Lets see what next week brings me.
