    I'm down. My overall goal is to lose 30 lbs. I am 5'7" 195 currently and have been fluctuating aver the holidays, as I am sure some of you may have as well. I need an accountability partner. My wife and I do an okay job for each other, but it is very easy for us to justify over-eating. I hope that this will give me a wake-up call.

    Spending the weekend cooking all the recipes I will need for the next 7 days. If there is an "allowed" food available, I hope it will stop me from straying into the excuse zone.

    WI results...2.4 down! I am officially in Onederland for the first in my memory! (*) Thanks for all the positive vibes you sent my way! That leaves me with 17.6 to go by Easter! A total loss of 32 lbs since Labor Day!
    Now to go reward myself with a mani/pedi!

    Congrats to you, Alice. That's a huge accomplishment after the holidays! I have forgotten what Onederland feels like, but I still have clothes in the closet as proof that I was once there☺️. Bask in glow of your hard work!

    Hope everyone is having a great day. My energy is about to fade for the day. Had a terrible bout of insomnia last night. Just have to push through it. I think I will go for a walk along the river this afternoon. That always makes me feel better. :o

    Thanks Momma and Connie! Success breeds success so I am determined to keep it going! Unlike the little train who said "I think I can". I know I can!

    I vow to buy no more clothes this year, until I lose 20 pounds. I gained last year, and am going to be slim this summer.
    (Slim for me is under 200!).

    Not sure I can meet THAT challenge Momma - I love new clothes! Maybe I will reward myself with something new with every 5 lbs lost!

    Talk to you all tomorrow....Finish the Fight Cowboys!!

    Good morning to everyone who has decided to join the quest for a lighter Easter! There is strength in numbers so this group should super strong! If I counted right it is 13 weeks till Easter! :\ Oh wow...that means I need to lose more than a pound a week to reach our goal! Doing this...one day at a time! I found a quote last night which I posted to FB..but thought I would share with everyone here too..." I am not losing weight. I am getting rid of it! I have no intention of finding it again!" Momma we need that on a shirt!

    So I have done really good starting to get rid of the weight, but now need to get serious about some targeted exercise...specifically these bat wings! Anyone have any exercises that can be done at home - I am not a gym person. I have some 2 lb weights. HELP!

    Back later...!
