    I would like to join. I lost 26 pounds last year and then in the last 2 months of the year packed 12 back on. I really need to refocus. Maybe this will help.

    Okay ready to start the New Year. I began on the 10th of January last year and have been doing pretty good. But I need to focus again. I must be a slow learner, I keep thinking I can do this alone...wrong!.
    So I've been reading past posts....I'm confused. Is my 'puter acting up? What does " an class="strong">5an> lbs." mean? I've tried copying it, linking it and nothing. I don't understand what I'm reading.
    Thanks for the help.

    wow, 6 pages already!

    Hi everyone,

    I was not able to sign in while at my sister's place for the holidays, and oh man did I blow it! Scale says I am up 10 lbs :sad: can I gain that much in one week? Well in any case, now I am back in town and I hope to get back into the groove quickly. I went to the store today and stocked up on loads of veggies! I have set the bar high with my New Years goals and for once they are not weight goals, but other things that I can start working on. I think I have come to terms with the fact that I will be a bit heavier during the winter months. But as long as I can shrink back down during the summer all should be well in my world. I would love to see 140 by my birthday. If I really lose 5 lbs a month I will be on track to see that happen.

    Hope everyone had a nice holiday, here is to all the work we have ahead of us! :drinker: Happy New Year

    Hey everyone so far so good today : ) I am just about to exercise on my wii so i will be getting my workout intoday : ) I will see about those lunges I will try and Im feeling motivated.

    The 150's have been knocking on my door and It would be amazing if they could stick around this week! This morning I weighed in at 158.4 which is over a pound down from my SW so I will work extra hard all week to keep that number or maybe a better one lol : )

    I'm in, It's only 3 days into the month, so that isn't too bad. Weight this morning...217 (ugh) I expect some of that is water from too much sodium over the weekend. We will know in a few days. One of my things I have to do this year is log my food AND participate in at least one discussion a day and one challenge a month. I'm hoping that will help keep my head in the game.

    Jan 1: 161

    This is a two pound gain since Dec 1st. Blame it on lack of exercise and the holiday. I bought new sneakers (Shape Ups) and plan on walking or working on eliptical daily. My initial mini goal was to be 155 by Jan 22, I am working to get to a healthy BMI, seeing that I fall in Overweight is motivation enough. Good luck everyone!
    Not sure how this will work, do we post updates weekly? Looking for support and motivation to keep this going, please friend me..

    CW: 161 BMI: 27
    1st GW: 155 BMI 26 (by Jan 22)

    WARNING:
    I loved my Shape Ups sneakers (at first) saw results in a few weeks and loved the way my legs looked! Even got the sandal kind also. BUT now I have knee issues which my Dr blamed on the shoes. Don't run in them and make sure you walk straight so your knees don't get tweaked. :flowerforyou: Just trying to help!

    Hi Terri.....Happy New Year! and Congrats on your 20 pound loss.
    I will take the 5 pound challenge with you, I need something to get me motivated.
    My New Years Resolution is to lose 2 pounds per week. I am on my first day of
    cutting back and trying to get things in order to succeed. I have done pretty good for the first day.
    I am taking small steps to make life style changes and I need all the help I can get. If you need
    a buddy to give you a push or a pep talk; let me know. Here is to a New Exciting
    year and good Luck.
