in Introduce Yourself
Ok. So I was just talking to my husband the other day about how I haven't been taking care of myself because we are so busy and I have no time for me. I told him I wanted to lose weight to feel good again and he suggested starting a journal. Then....BAM! I found this site while surfing the net and it seems like a good place to start. I have a hard time sticking to plans like this so I'm a little skeptical with myself going in. I could really use all the support I can get. Here goes nothing...

    You have found a great start. It is a very positive site with lots of ideas. Most of all, it really keeps you motivated if you apply yourself. Welcome! Hope you enjoy the journey as much as I am!

    I was the same way. I actually started out in May, but sort of dropped it for a month or so. We are in our busy season and only had thoughts of "survival" (ha!). Well, my husband was contacted by an old buddy and this guy lost 80 lbs in just over a year. So, hubby started too. That was all I needed, as in other times I would start a "diet" I would always have to dodge the junk food hubby brought home. Now, it's much easier for me. All I can say is "one meal at a time". I really gotta get off my derriere and start moving more. But good luck, you can do it.!

    To put in bluntly...How's your plan workin for ya? lol

    That is what I asked myself last year...and the answer was...it sucks...

    Just give it a heart felt shot...once you lose your first 10 pounds...I promise...you'll be hooked.

    The members here are awesome and really we are all in the same boat.

    I think this is the BEST SITE EVER....and while I may not be losing like I'd like I am not gaining, which is half the battle. I am also making healthier choices and have support to keep me from going to the mcdonald's drive through when I feel I have been working hard and GAIN weight each week. If nothing else, I can see my nutrient intake and realize I am not alone! Good luck!

    That is what I thought last week...so now p90x, no excuses, profile pic to prove it. Obviously my kick back and focus on school and work did not work out so well :) Hee Hee pretty common around here I guess. My old plan had some serious issues, but the new one is a fabulous work in progress. And I can't remember the last time I took a whole hour each day to do something for me, even if it is exercise.

    Welcome and good luck! I was in the same position..wasn't sticking to any plan and needed to do something about it. This is a great site and so easy to keep up with calories and exercise.

    I'm brand new, too, and like you I'm SUPER excited about this site and all it has to offer. The support from others looks like it's AMAZING and I'm excited to get this show on the road!

    Good luck! :)
