January 1st ... new start! Looking to get rid of 25 lbs by June 1st, so 20 by Easter sounds do-able.
Starting weight - 173
Goal weight in 2015 - 145
I am committing to drinking 8 glasses of water a day, going to Crossfit 3-4 x a week, and logging every morsel that enters my mouth!0 -
That's the way to go Kate. My eating plan has it set up where you can have 1 sevings of cup cake in moderation but would have to leave off the carb servings. I did not do that at our Christmas dinner and now I am having to lose what I gain. Tomorrow is Weigh in Day for me. I got to lose 1/2 pound to reach the 10 lbs mark since I have been on tis new Diet Plan. doing good Kate.

Somebody called me "disciplined" so I'd like to share where I learned some great things that have helped me stay focused on my eating and exercise one day at a time.
"The Thin Commandments Diet" by Stephen Gullo---there's a diet that I didn't use, but many great ideas like "Strategy is stronger than willpower".
"Gratitude and Trust" by Paul Williams and Tracy Jackson---it's about using all the strategies in 12 step recovery programs for people with ordinary challenges---it starts with "Something has to change and it's probably me".
For anyone who is seeking a solution----there are great ones available if you really want them.
If it is important to you, then you will find a way, if not, then you'll find an excuse.

I think I am going to get the wii out later as I have a couple of work out games - I have the wii fit game and a biggest loser game which get me moving when I cant go out walking. A few months ago though I slipped off the wii fit board and tore the ligaments in my ankle and I hav'nt used the wii since so I'll have to be careful so I don't slip off again!
MummyKate85 - the Wii is great! I weight train 3x/week and didn't think the Wii would do a lot, but the tennis game really gives me a workout - no fit board needed. Good luck!0 -
Hello everyone and Happy 2015! I have put on 40 pounds since I have been in pre menopause. Five years later, I'm in full menopause now, I think. I'm hungry all the time!! The doctor said when a woman starts losing estrogen her body craves more food. So, I haven't done very well, eating late at night (work second shift) and eating more junk food. I lost my willpower……so, I will be working on willpower and better choices very hard! I will commit to putting more fruit and veggies in my snacks. This is the first time I have been overweight exempt for 2 pregnancies. I need to be healthy and want to be healthy for the rest of my life!!
