Please count me in on this. I am in need of lots of encouragement. I am just starting this journey and am a little lost. Seems like 20 lbs is the perfect first goal. that would be a 10% weight loss.

Good morning all, Thank you Marie for welcoming me to your thread it's great to have good support and in turn I hope to be able to support others.
A good start for me this morning as I managed to get myself out of bed early and do my exercise video and filled in my food diary for breakfast and lunch, not sure what we're having for our evening meal yet . Evening is the worst time eating wise for me, I get bored and start eating things I shouldn't. Does anyone else have this problem and if so what do you do to distract yourself. In the summer I like to get out for a walk in the evening but on these long dark cold nights I can't get up the enthusiasum to go out side in the dark.
Well must get ready for work now. Hope you all have a good day.

Small victories... the new scale showed a loss this morning, so here's to a great loss by Friday WI day! It's raining here this morning, so hubby and I will do our new yoga DVDs instead of walking.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday! Becky0 -

Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday!
I am off to church after a great breakfast of oatmeal with flax meal and egg white omelette with spinach/bell pepper/onion. ( carb, fat, protein) It's unreal how I used to have oatmeal, raisins, applesauce, and egg before. That's three carbs in one meal! Yikes!
No bloat this morning after 4 days of 1:1:1. What a blessing!
Today is a rest day from formal exercise; I'll just walk the dog.
Have a great day, all!
Marie, enjoy your family and dinner!
Connie

Good morning all - let me introduce myself...I am Alice - one of Marie's daughters. I have unofficially been a part of this challenge but now will be more active. Can't let my mom have all the fun!
i have been following WW since Labor Day and have lost 30 lbs so if by Easter I can lose another 20 I will have met the goal set by my doc. So count me in!
My weight loss mantra is "No Matter What...". Today it will be No Matter What...I will not park myself in front my Sis's delicous dip! Cheese and jalapeños- yum! I can do this!
Looking forward to the journey with you all!

Hi Alice, I feel like I've known you for years......it seems like your mom has something nice to say about you almost every day....I know you are her "go to" person for computer problems. Congrats on your weight loss so far and your commitment to continue. You'll be successful today if you pay more attention to your sister than you do to her cheese and jalapeños dip.
Now I'm off to walk the first dog....we never care if it's dark....we just carry a flashlight and a happy attitude.

I just lost my post, still learning this Android tablet of mine.
Trying to get back on track today and get back to some normal eating, all sweet treats are gone now.
Alice, nice to finally meet you. We have heard alot about you from Marie and so glad you could join us on this challenge.
Marie, you have Connie as a supporter now to help you through the 111 program.
We just had breakfast, scrambled eggs, peameal bacon and some toast. Now for my exercising.
Good luck this week and hello to all the new members!!0 -
Ok, time to toss out all this JUNK in the house - I'm sneaking some of these treats into the compost while no one is looking. I have a house full of boys and what they don't know won't hurt me - lol!0
