    I did it! Though I swear my family is out to get me!!! I share an apt with my brother who basically lives only in his room. But no... Tonight he was out of his hole borrowing my P90x DVDs. Lucky for me (but I guess not him) he could only hack out 20 minutes so I was able to get my workout over with before it got too late. I know it sucked when I first started but I had to laugh at him because all he has eaten the last week is pizza hut pizzas and cinnamon sticks. He has the metabolism of a 5 year old :-( but not the energy! I'm hoping he'll take me up on my offers for home cooked healthy meals and protein shakes eventually but for now he doesn't believe in eatting healthy. Survived day 1 and made my goals... So you can too!

    Lesson of the day: Don't let obstacles through you off your path. And you can't force others to change just because you are. You just have to be there to help them when they are ready.

    I did spin today so that's one of my six for the week.
    Food was on track.
    I might revise my weigh in from twice this month to more.
    I'm going to think and pray about it. Sometimes the scale helps me, keeps me accountable, and can deter me from making a poor choice. BUT, when it goes up when it shouldn't, even when intellectually I know all the reasons weight can fluctuate, it can cause me to have a 'screw it' attitude. This happened last Friday, and I had a not stellar weekend.

    By the way, I loved the person that had their 7th goal as don't be a moron. That should be on my list too :)

    haha- love that last one. I have to tell myself that when I start looking at every day's results individually, instead of a few days of results overall.

    well MFP, I hope you're happy- when I was adding to this thread I realized that I hadn't done my morning calistenics. Against my "ugh, gross" reflex, I laid down on my lab floor to do 100 crunches and 50 pushups (as fast as possible lol). Not a moment too soon, since literally the second I stood up, my co-worker walked in.

    Does anyone know how to make it so the last page you read pops up instead of page one?

    For ex, when i hit my topics and click on this one, it always puts me back to the beginning with the baby.

    Day 2 and 3 went well. I have had more than 3 coffees but I'm going to let myself off on that as I've got a terrible sore throat and the baby hasn't been sleeping too well!

    persistent33- I find that if I click on the "view" word next to the person that last posted, it takes me to the last page. I hope that helps x
