We aren't just doing this for the weight loss, we are doing this for us, to be apart of how we are.
So- who are you and who do you want to be?

Who am I?
I'm a 28 year old, life-lovin', silly, jokester, happy (most of the time), loving, mama/nurse/wife/friend/daughter/sister/person. That's who I am! I just happen to be on a journey to become a healthier 28 year old, life-lovin', silly, jokester, happy, loving mama/nurse/wife/friend/daughter/sister/person! I've noticed that as I lose more weight and/or inches, my confidence is coming out more, and my happy place is easier to find...if that make sense!
I want to continue to be the same person I've been along with being healthy and a better role model for my kids, for my patients, as well as my co-workers. I don't want to be that girl who only gets attention when she walks into the room because I'm the biggest person there. I want to shine, and I'm on my way to do just that.
I am thankful that I am me, because

I am me, that is all I try to be. I am feeling agitated and tired. Maybe i need some coffee to wake me up. I think I'm excited and nervous about the weekend coming. My boyfriend is having his 30 yr high school reunion and I'm going. I'm half decided to just stay home and avoid the situation, and half happy to be going. Plus we are going to stay with his parents which I've only met once. It's just one big stressful situation.
Today is going well food wise.
Breakfast: Turkey sausage pattie, english muffin and grapes
Lunch: Half evol burrito, string cheese and chobani yogurt
Snack: Skinny pop popcorn
Dinner: TBD
Exercise: will be doing a run when I get home and top it off with a good yoga stretch
Water: 20 oz down working on 2nd0 -
I would like say that I'm thankful for Ann (13strong) for keeping this group going and posting every day! We wouldn't have this group to turn to if it wasn't for her. I really appreciate what she does for us every day! Ann, you truly are doing a wonderful job! THANK YOU!!!0

Kim - Thank you so much.
It means a lot to me and I'm glad this group is helpful to others.
Today - Isn't going well, but who's to say that makes for a bad day? So it's a rough day today, but not bad.
Who I am - Trouble! Or so they say at work. I'm friendly, nearly-always-smiling, introverted person. I enjoy being happy as odd as that sounds so I try to like the little things. I'm a problem solver and tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. I also am not spontaneous and a bit of a worrier.
Who I want to be - The same, but improved through life experiences. Ideally, I want to be healthier, more active, and I want to be more grounded (less worrying / self-induced-stress).
My check in for today
Food - Not over calories, but not the greatest of choices.
Water - WAY low. It seems the more stressed I am, the less I drink.
Exercise - Oh so many stairs today. My sides hurt!
How's it going - External pressures are creating internal stresses, but what's worse is there's nothing I can do. I just need to learn to let it be, let it go, and not fret over it (if only I was wired like that).0 -
What a great heading thankful thursday
I'm thankful for my wonderful family, living near the beach and a good thursday.
food wise - better day, even had some greens
water - only 4 glasses today
exercise - some yoga stretching
hows it going - very tired0 -
Food: I stayed within my goals for calories and remembered to log everything.
Exercise: My day ran late so I haven't gone to the gym yet, but I just got home and I'm about to knock out a good 45 minute workout. I hate going this late but I don't want to make excuses not to go.
Water: I drank plenty of water and I'm still drinking.
Today: I'm very tired, but glad that it's the weekend.
I'm Christina, i'm a mom, wife, sister, daughter, student, and friend. I'm a generally positive and outgoing person and I like to surround myself with people who have positive, outgoing personalities. I'm spontaneous and I love to try new things. I'm a very happy person who is so grateful for all the wonderful people and blessings in my life. "Too blessed to be stressed" :bigsmile:
I want to be me, but in the near future, working as an X-Ray technician and some day get my license to be a full tech.
Nice meeting everyone 0 -
I am very thankful for this group, which keeps me accountable to myself and y'all!
I am also very thankful that 16 of my 22 new first graders showed up for Open House. I teach in a high poverty area, which makes it tough for parents to leave work if they have a job. I had lots of Dads, aunts, and grandmas show up with moms, which means these babies are gonna be okay - they have someone who cares!
My diet has been awful, but with all the library cart loading, walking, unloading, reloading, returning, etc. etc. I've been very, very active. Some ladder climbing has been involved as well!
Water - I am going to break down and buy a mini-fridge so I can keep ice and cold water at hand all day! I'm worth the money I'll spend! LOL0 -
I am me, Ashley, friendly, positive, motivating, a sister, a best friend, a giver, a military veteran, a first generational college graduate, and a wife. All I want in life is to be comfortable in my own skin.
I am thankful my cold is clearing up. I am thankful I woke up today.
Food: I guess my appetite is back because I cheated all day.. I had doughnut holes, and pizza today
Exercise: rest day
Water: didn't drink nearly enough only 8 cups...the bare minimum.
I woke up late for work....just not my best day! But...Still Thankful!0 -
Sorry I've been MIA, I've had a rough go of it the last two weeks. I don't handle stress very well.
Who am I? I am Rachel. I am 21 years old. My appendix tried to kill me for two years, now that I'm aware of it, I'm evicting it at the end of the month. (15 days until my surgery!) I am a strong, independent lady. I kayak once a week, I box whenever I can really. I work in industrial engineering and I work a lot.
Who do I want to be? I want to be Rachel, happy & healthy. Whatever that may entail.
Food - Under my calorie goals for the first time in a few days. Feels good.
Water - I'm pretty bad about water, but I've been sipping a propel water for the last few hours, so I'm already doing better than normal!
Exercise - Spent half an hour of quality time with my heavy bag. I'll be feeling it tomorrow.
How's it going -Better, I handle my stress very poorly, but I just got a handle on it.0
