Hi All!

I joined MFP a few weeks ago and this is my first post. I having been reading through all the forums and the support that everyone has for one anothers progress is amazing!

I joined because I booked my vaction to Jamaica in January and need to lose a few pounds to look fantastic in my bikini. I've noticed that my problem times are evenings and weekends - but esspecially the evenings... Its gonna be tough once the snow falls and it gets cold and I'm sitting at home with nothing to do but munch and watch movies..... So here I am - making myself accountable.

Good job everyone! Keep up the inspirations!

    Welcome and congrats on your loss!!

    I find that the weekends and evenings are definetly killing my ability to stick to it! I'm trying, though, by slowly getting bad foods out and good foods in. Also portion portion portion.

    Best of luck to you!! I'm considering purchasing a bikini as inspiration.....:wink:

    You'll do great! I know what you mean about the snow flying. In January we had snow piled next to the driveway that was taller than me and I am 5'6.5" tall.... I would encourage you to look for a home elliptical or treadmill - they are a lifesaver and I had a friend who got her treadmill for under $100 used. TOTALLY worth it when you are confined by snow. When we were so rural, I took up cross country skiing. (Went to a ski swap and got skis, boots and poles for under $40 total.) I, like Lauryn said, also use a stability ball in my home to sit on. I use it at the dining room table (when it's just family), in the living room, in my home office and in our school room. They are wonderful!

    Jamaica - totally excited for you! It's on my list of places to go! Yay!

    This is a great place to get the inspiration that we all need. It also helps to count your calories and exercise to see what you are doing in the day. Sometimes, I find I didn't really want to know the calories for the day.:laugh: However, it has really helped me to see that others face the same struggles and that we can do this if we really work at it. Keep the bikini image in your mind and it will help you get there. Good Luck to you and congrats on the weight you have lost.

    Where are you planning to go in Jamaica? We went twice last year to an all inclusive and then to just a hotel...both interesting experiences!! We broke the Jamaican string of vacations by going to Mexico this past August...I love relaxing vacations!!

    We are going to Gran Bahia Prinicpe at Runaway Bay about an hour from Montego Bay I was told. I am so excited!! Its going to be my first time in Jamaica although I've wanted to go for years! It was just always too expensive... Now when I was looking for vacation packages I stumbled onto a two for one deal (out of Canada since thats where I am) and couldn't pass it up.
