    Hi all, I'm in Arizona (Scottsdale) and I too need to lose a good 50. I just started journaling again and have been circuit training off and on.

    I have no children, 1 beagle mix named Sebastian, 1 tortie cat named peaches and 1 black tripod cat named Sasha. My hubby travels for a living and I'm looking for new IT or Design/CAD/Engineering work.

    I used to be an emotional eater and eventually, i think with age and wisdom these past few years, grew out of it. But I have noticed that I'm fairly addicted to sugar (esp once the holidays get going *sigh*)...and I really don't like to exercise although I have been enjoying going to circuit training here and there.

    This year, actually right now, I'm getting myself motivated to do more...be more...for myself. I've already started circuit training more, although i need to be more consistent. I've also already started journaling...nope, don't like it...don't like seeing the numbers jump so high so quickly.

    So I decided to try a juice lifestyle...2 juices a day, a few snacks and a low carb meal...oh and my vitamins/supplements. Only issue so far is trying to maintain a "fullness" throughout the day. the first few days, the juices made me pretty full, today, after training, i've been hungry all day, even after a protein drink, banana and 2 hard boiled eggs (after the workout). I hope I don't get frustrated, I can't afford to give this up this year :neutral_face:

    If anyone is doing a similar version or wants to with a buddy, let me know! Looking forward to helping you all in support! I've been trying to do this for years and still, no true success yet. so this year, it MUST happen. :)

    OH btw, those of you without photos...comeon..put a photo up so we can say HI to you :)

    Hi, My name is Shel and plan to loose 25 pounds. I would like to offer and receive support and encouragement. My current thinking is that weight management requires clear thinking, focus and shared thoughts. Let's get this done as a group
