Well everybody TAROM is back and we are starting over for 2009! Let's see how long we can go for. Still updating on fridays and still the regular thing apply.

For those who wanna jump on the wagon:
TAROM means tie a ribbon on me. Thus the picture of a ribbbon:laugh: The idea is you are a gift to yourself. With your wieghtloss and healthier lifestyle you could make youself as happy as when you open up that really pretty package that was under the Christmas Tree.

We update once a week on Fridays and updating measurments is optional. You could just post your wieght.Example:

wieghtloss:
MFPstart:170
Jan2(w0):145.7
Jan9(w1):144.7
total TAROM2009 loss:1

as for measurements. I guess we could do it the same as last TAROM. what you measure is up to you.
Example:

last week:
hips:38 1/2
waist:32
under bust:31 1/2
thigh:24

this week:
hips:39
waist:32
under bust:32
thigh:24

I wish you better stats then mine this week.

    I don't concider this to be a bad week. I went to a buffet for dinner on saunday and it took me a week to lose the wieght again. It was the fancy buffet resturant. the expensive kind that you only go to once a year or two. I'm not embarressed to say I enjoyed myself, i lost the wieght again so I'm not worried.

    last week:
    hips:39
    waist:32
    under bust:32
    thigh:24

    this week:
    hips: 38 3/4
    waist:33
    underbust: 32 1/2
    thigh:23 1/2

    I gotta step up and get further up on the band wagon. I'm slipping:embarassed:

    btw: i enjoyed my extra hour's sleep:heart:

    I maintained my weight while on vacation. That would be wonderful in itself, but the fact that I ate healthy and exercised every day is even more amazing!

    Truly a lifestyle change, not a diet for me!!

    Have a great weekend all you TAROM Peeps!:flowerforyou:

    This weekend was a little crazy, what with a rugby awards banquet (BUFFET! BEER!) on Saturday and a crazy night last Friday. I would have been happy to have broken even for the week, but I still managed to lose 1 pound. Woot woot!

    Hello everyone. Had a good week, started exercising my @ss off 4 days a week. Feeling really good about myself and still losing weight. Two pounds this week. Also, I'm definitely losing inches (even though I don't measure) because I now have "fat pants". Finally!

    I'm really worried about this weekend though, I'm going camping with the Scouts (I'm an assistant scoutmaster) and we always have sooo much good food to eat and there's not exactly a subway or microwave in the woods. Wish me luck!

    I wouldn't worry.. no doubt you'll be doing all sorts of wintertime outdoor fun activities....You'll likely burn it off.

    Great week for me! Despite all of the Superbowl cheating I had my best week (since week 1) and lost 3 pounds! Going to the gym regularly has really geared up my loss, I think. And maybe all those chicken wings gave my metabolism a little jump-start (at least that's what I told myself).
