    Nope not new to MFP, just the community section. The Holidays has packed a few pounds back on and I've lost my motivation.

    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!

    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!
    Alice

    :D 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.

    :D 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.

    :D Barbie

    May I join you? My name is Carl, I am 5'3" and 163lbs so my target weight at the moment is 140, and then I will assess things when I get there.
    - with 14 weeks to April 6 and aiming to lose 1lb per week, my goal will be 149lbs.
    - Carl
    - Ashtanga Yoga and open water swimming.

    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!! :D

    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!

    Marie.. I have you to thank, girl. I was just surfing the forums and stumbled on to Golden Years and this one. Had I not done that, I would not have found out about 1:1:1. Like you, I think this may be the lifestyle I can truly stay with because there is not anything I cannot have! You've got a good plan for the family dinner.



    Nice to meet you, Alice.
    Big welcome to all new challengers!

    Yes, it feels wasteful, but I'm glad to do it. Went to the store and got tons of salad fixins. I like a salad with a little lettuce and a lot of veg. Did good today - under calories and armed with proper foods so I don't eat junk. Hang in there guys!

    :D The temperatures are down to almost freezing so I'm wearing extra layers this morning when I walk the dogs. This is one of the ways I keep active every day and it makes a huge difference in my weight, health, and sense of well being.

    Have a great day.

    The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.

    Happy Monday morning! Back to work and back to much needed routine. I need to get back on track after using all of my weekly points (I am a WW'er) plus some over the weekend!
    Connie - aquazumba sounds like fun! Someday I will have the nerve to put this body back in a swimsuit!
    Here is my thought for today - No Matter What happened yesterday, today is a new day, a new start and a new opportunity to shine.
