    measureing my hips goes around my butt, of course if that's something you want to measure then go ahead.

    You don't have to do all that I listed. You can measure whatever you are wanting to watch.

    Still taking Newbies, I hope?? I just joined MFP the other day and this group sounds perfect! I like the idea of weekly challenges (cause I really need the extra motivation!)

    Name: Nicole
    Age: 33
    Goal Date: Memorial Day
    Current Weigth: 148
    Goal Weight: 130

    I just did my measurements for the first time this afternoon - it was a little depressing. I can remember being a 28-29 inch waist - NOT NO MORE!!! LOL I really got big after my kids were born, so I started WW and lost 30 lbs - that was 3 years ago. This fall, my dad died suddenly in a kayaking accident. He was not only my inspiration, but alot of times my training pal. We ran our first sprint triathalon together this summer and backpacked for 10 days in the UP in the fall, about 2 mos before the accident. I've been dealing with a certain amount of depression and a just a general sense of ennui, if you will. My kids have kept me going, but I've found it really hard to stay focused on exercising and training. Consequently, I've gained more than 10 lbs back since October.

    SO here's to new goals, new friends, and new inspiration. Let's roll!

    I think I'm going to track arm size as well, cause mine are a lil too sausagey for my liking right now. I want lose weight and add tone because I'd like to have kids soon, and it will be easier to bounce back if I'm in shape in the first place!!!

    My reasons for weight loss are to be fit and fabulous! I want to be more active with my family! And also I want to fit into all the cute clothes that I have a little better:) It would also be great to feel comfortable in public in a swimsuit!!

    Welcome welcome everyone!

    Everyone's got some pretty good goals! I've been feeling a bit, energetic today. I'm hoping that I can reach my goal. I'll have to work my butt off to get to it, but I think I can do it!

    Hi everyone, I would like to join too please!

    Name: Helen
    Age: 34
    Date of Summer Goal (or month): July 1
    Summer Goal Weight: 126
    Current Weight: 146

    I've lost weight before (3st with weight watchers and was a success story in the UK magazine!) but unfortunately I've let things slip over the past few years and put some of the weight back on. I know how good it feels to achieve the goals and I'm finally feeling in the right place to give it another go and get back to my goal weight (and back into all the small clothes I filled my wardrobe with and can no longer wear.)

    My excuse has been that I did it with my sister before and it's harder alone but now I have no excuses :)

    Good luck everybody!

    Helen x

    OK, I need a little motivational support! I'm going to a friends surprise Bday party tonight where there will be a ton of good (ie, GUILTY) food and a good bit of drinking.... "Lord help me to not stuff my face and drink too much beer!" I think I'll take a bottle of wine to share and when that bottle is gone, I'm on to water. Maybe a good size salad before we leave so I don't fell tempted by the table full of delicious finger foods and appetizers. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS??? LOL

    I would eat before you go. Then even though you see those foods, you'll be full and won't eat any. You can eat some, but you REALLY have to watch how much goes in. Sometimes we tend to over do it when it's a group of people and we aren't paying attention.

    I would say just keep an eye on it. Maybe eat before and only plan to eat a slice of cake (yum) That's what I would do.

    Oh, and then work out a few extra minutes to burn it off tomorrow, haha!
