in Introduce Yourself
Living in the southwest has its challenges. It is beautiful here and the food options are so wonderful. I'm seeking to be friends who are starting their journey too. Accountability is a strong tool. Accountability partners are key to success. Let's help each other meet our goals.

    Type of food isnt everything (although it does have discreet value). If you drink water, are active enough for the food intake, and don't eat a lot of foods that make your body retain, you will lose weight.

    Friend me! I am from Phoenix, and definitely want some local friends.

    Hi.. i'm nearly 3 months in...lost 12b so far and am determined to carry on until it's all gone! Exercising has made the difference for me, its taken a long time to find something I like, but I can honestly say i've turned a corner..I'm finding it no effort to go to the gym 3 times a week...if I can do it anyone can!

    Plateau is in full effect the last three days. I need another good day. I don't have the opportunity to get to the gym so I'm going to have to be patient. I've neglected snacking is that why I'm stuck?

    Been in the yard all morning. Getting thirsty more than hungry. Perhaps a small snack to get through the rest of the afternoon? What do you add with water to get through the day?

    So how did you do this month. 30 days come and go (almost). Hopefully you all faired better than I did. Struggled this last week. Ugh!

    Sorry I don't have a photo yet. I'm in Ohio also. Lost 21 pounds since January (completely unintentionally due to death of spouse) and now am trying to lose more so I can get back to a healthy bmi. This online discussion thing is a relatively new thing for me.

    How did you do this weekend? Did you overcome those desires to just cheat a little? If so then kudos to you my friend. If you didn't then make up for it this week. Get active, a walk daily will do wonders.
