    Sounds like great motivation! I have just joined this week. I am 4'11 and need to lose some baby weight plus some. :happy:
    I started last week at 129 and want to get down eventually to 110. Don't know if that can happen....but will give it my all. I have already lost 2 pds this last week. Exercising everyday with personal trainer and doing cardio on my own. Wish me luck.

    Hi everyone and welcoming all the new ones that joined in today !!
    I just thought I would check in and rant a little. Ive actually done really good the past few days with the food portion of my new 'lifestyle' . Im still within my calorie count. Im not very good with the excercise part though -- Ive been working extra hours. Tonight was date night so we went for a bite. I tried to be good.... chicken cesar wrap ( and 1 1/2 corona lights ) The kids made me drink LOL. Kidding..... sorta. I have two moody teens in the house that love to push buttons.
    Even though we weigh in once a week I hope to hear from everyone from time to time so we can all support eachother so we can all be successful in this journey.... I truely believe it is key to have support and people around you that care.

    Oh, man! This is the worst possible challenge for me:noway: I'm addicted to weighing myself and often times will weigh twice a day. To go the next six days is going to make me :explode: So, I'm going to be way stressed all week wondering if this new "program" is working for me. Well, we're all in the same boat with this challenge, so let's keep encouraging each other.

    I also want to welcome everyone to this team and wish everyone great success:bigsmile:

    Hi Everyone!!

    I am SO excited for this! Looks like we have folks from all corners of the US. I look forward to getting to know you all a little bettter, and the best part is being able to share ups/downs with those going thru the same lifestyle change/challenge!

    Velvet ~ you did really well on your 'date nite' ~KUDOS!

    n2dfire ~ thanks again for being our Green Team Leader! What a great asset you are to your community/FD. I went to college for Medical Assising, so have worked for Dr's, Oral Surgeon, and hospital lab. It really is a rewarding career. You bring much motivation to this thread! :smile:

    yeahbuddy ~ I'm with you on the daily weighing...it is the FIRST thing I do every am. This will be tough for me too. Have asked DH to hide the scale for me. I will just have to be more mindful of eating and exercising.

    Well, that's it for now. Hi to the rest of GREEN and have a great day all! Eat healthy, exercise regularly, drink water....WE CAN DO THIS!!

    Ohh, very nice to see us up high on this section. I see we are all inviting other newbies, that rocks!:bigsmile:

    I too weigh myself daily but only to keep mentally on track, while I know this can backfire - it's better than after every meal as I've done in the past. I have my first official weigh in tommorrow, then I'll make it wednesday for next week.

    Good luck and welcome to anyone I might've missed!:drinker:

    Hey all, seems I am in trouble.......I cannot shake my bootie or do any sort of excercise that uses my ankle....seems an injury I have been ignoring has Flared up again.......ARGH. Until I can get to a doctor to have this looked at I am stuck on my *kitten*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, any ideas? I have a pilates DVD series I think I am gonna continue with, but after what I have been reading about my injury, I really could cause ALOT OF DAMAGE even just walking............Achilles tendon issues.........been going on for about 6 months, lack of insurance has me pretending it is not happening.

    So Green Beans, can you send me your ideas on low impact workouts.....I think I am gonna do situps, stretching (yoga-pilates) some ideas on things that will not stretch or work my calf/tendon.

    Thanks :sad:

    GO Green

    My sister wants to join today. I told her about the GREEN team and she is pumped to join. I worked out over an hour this morning with personal trainer. He kicked my booty!!

    Then I went to celebrate my hard work and went out to eat. Shared my chicken pasta dish with my mom. I am learning from this site that every restaurant gives BIG CALORIE PORTIONS. :smile:

    It is manageable to eat 1200 to 1500 calories. YOU just have to count! Everyone have a great day.

    Hey everyone! Well, day one gone without weighing in:smile: Let's just see if I can make it another 5.

    Last night I did an hour on the elliptical and a 1/2 hour walking on the treadmill. I ate really good yesterday and am on track for today. This website has really made me become more serious with my weight loss. I'm trying to get under 150 for my birthday on February 10th:flowerforyou:

    Thanks in advance to everyone for the support and motivation!
