Tomorrow is the first big day, hope everyone is ready for it and that the scales are good to everyone.

good luck with everyone's weigh-ins tomorrow! this first week might be tough, but don't give up!
we can all get our "foxy" on, if we set our minds to it!! :bigsmile:

Thanks andreaie for starting the group. This is so much easier to keep track of everything & everyone

Not sure if I am looking forward to the weigh in tommorrow. I have started exercising again after not doing anything for several months & I usually gain weight at the beginning. Hopefully it won't be too much or if I am lucky I will be down a little bit.

i'm really hoping for a loss but the closer i get to my goal the harder it is becoming, ive added extra exercise in this week so fingers crossed!!

big thanks you to you all, without the group i think i would have given up after christmas. we are all capable of getting to the weight we want to be and we will all be here for one another

I love how supportive this group is. beside my work ..i am home i take care of my uncle who moved in with me about a year and a hlf ago. he had a massive stroke. he is full time care. so when I am home that is it..there is no leaving his side...i have help that comes when i go to work...so I tend to get discouraged with my life being stuck here so often. and MFP has been my saving grace. another saving grace is that I teach strength training and chair yoga to woman over 50...so some days it is twice ...my classes are about i hour and 20 mins...and I teach 8 classes a week...so at least i can get excersize . sometimes when help is here i actually get a walk in. I would really like to thank everyone for always encouraging me...it like a family. thank you thank you!!!!

So glad you joined MFP, and our challenge group. It's a wonderful place to "come" to when you're down, discouraged, or even need a chuckle. You have so much going on in your life (stress, responsibility, etc.) so I am glad you are enjoying your time on MFP!! :flowerforyou:

My week started good, but then T.O.M decide to come
Trying my hardest to stay away from the junk food which i normally stuff my face with whilst T.O.M is here, so far so good.
Exercise is difficult with T.O.M trying to go for a few walks instead of Zumba.
I'd be happy to just stay the same this week because of T.O.M.........Fingers Crossed.....

Hope everyone has a good week. Make every day count!!! :-) x

Hey all,

Hope you have all had a good weekend. I am going to do my paragraph in this weeks challenge now.
My 5 things i love about myself is:
1) I love my eyes
2)I love my tattoo's
3) I love my hair
4) i love being tall and
5) i think i have quite a good sense of humour.

I deserve to be happy and slim because i have worked hard for it. I have given a lot of input to this healthy living and exercise and even when i have wanted to give in i haven't. I think i i deserve to be slim because that will make me happy

That was actually harder than i thought!

hey everyone.... here's the paragraph challenge that Andrea set for us... as this week's challenge.

Hmmmm... 5 things i love about myself is: (wowww... this is NOT as easy as it sounds....)

1) I love my sense of humor
2) I love my hair (most days ha ha ha)
3) I love that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my family
4) i love my determination and positive attitude
5) i love that I don't have a gazillion friends... but the ones I have are worth a gazillion dollars to me!

I deserve to be happy and slim because i have been working so hard to "get there". I have tried my darnedest to get healthy and am trying hard to help my family be healthy as well. I don't feel like I'm dieting.... I really feel like I've made a lifestyle change and am trying every day to keep a positive attitude and to support my friends!

How is everyone doing this week? What are you doing for exercise? What works when you hit a plateau?
