in Introduce Yourself
Well I'm going to try this again. I did really well with this about a year ago, then I "fell off the wagon". Trying to psych myself up for this. This time I actually joined a gym. Any help, encouragement and advice you could give would be appreciated!

    I find that if you look at this site like a program, then it's possible to fall off and on.

    But if you look at it as a medium to help you change how you live your life, well then,
    once your life is changed, it's changed, whether you choose to continue with the site after
    that is up to you, but at that point it won't really matter. Of course we would want to keep
    everyone here for ever, but either way, the new lifestyle will still be there.

    Alright then! :flowerforyou:

    When are your projected "weigh-in" dates? I like Wednesdays....it's the middle of the week so If I was naughty during the weekend I have time to get rid of water weight and still have a solid idea of where I stand. :laugh:

    Right on! Today is the start of the Fab40 weightloss!! hehee....You have taken your measurements, yes? So when naughty waterweight gives us trouble, we know the difference between that and actual weight gain....

    Fab40...I love that. Yes I had my measurements taken yesterday by the personal trainer, but I don't think he did it right? He measured my waist as being on my rib cage? Is that right? Don't think I've ever worn my jeans quite that high :laugh:

    Darlin' your personal trainer needs to go back to school. We all fall into the idea that these gyms are hiring intellegent individuals, but usually they just pick up any kid off the street. My suggestion to you is go back and get a trainer that is intellegent and speaks to you without speaking down to you and LISTENS.

    O, and your natural waist is where you bend. do a side stretch and that place that bends first is your waist.
