    welcome aboard

    christini:- i also need alot of encouragement especially when ive been busy with kiddies all day and dont want to exercise or make healthy food im hoping by starting this group i feel more motivated as i intend to be very honest and i hope when ive been having a bad day the other group members can boot mybehind to either get off the couch and exercise or encourage me back to being well behaved and focused the next day in the past ive tended to think oh well todays a fail so ill start again monday even if its only been tuesday i really want to avoid that habit this time around

    Monkey'smum, it's a journey. We need friends to pick us up when we're down, and to inspire when we have break a personal break through! Come October we're going to be happy we worked hard.

    definatley i am proud of the inches ive lost so far and the weight because the weight has been a very hard struggle tweaking exercise calories etc to get where i am losing and not plateau and i wouldnt be this motivated if it wasnt for all the mfp support come october i want to be at my goal or as close as i can get and hopefully toned up some too

    I would love to join if it is still ok? 20 by October would be great. Trying to lose that and more by next January. So this would be a great start. :glasses: Hubby and I will celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary on 1/18/12 and I would love to be below 200 by then. This would be a great motivator for me. Thanks!

    Good morning all! I am also incredibly happy its Friday! I'm a pre-k teacher so I spend my days chasing around 4-year-olds, which gives me tons of exercise! We're supposed to have thunderstorms all day, which means no running for me, but I'll definitely find something else to do to burn more calories!

    After all that, I am treating myself to a movie and an evening on the couch after all the hard work I've put in this week! Anyone else have fun plans for tonight?
