    :flowerforyou: I'm in! I was looking for a good new group to join.

    i did not weight myself this morning so I do not have my exact weight today, but on Sunday, it was 234.6 and my goal weight is 170...but for Christmas, I will set my goal for 185. That's about 2 lbs a week for me too.

    I'm in! I am currently at 197. I want to lose 1-2 pounds a week, about 45-46 pounds by Christmas (and my 25th Birthday!!!)

    The company I work for is encouraging us to workout and even allowing leave time to do so. No excuses to not show up at the gym!!

    :flowerforyou: Best of luck!!

    I am so in!!! I have a hard time reaching goals, maybe I set them to high, so I am going to go for 1.5 per week that's 34lbs so I will go for 30 lbs by Christmas. That would put me at 178lbs and my ultimate goal is 145-150 so that makes me soooo close!!! Thanks. This is a really cool thread!!!

    So what did you all for breakfast? I had 2 eggs over easy, 1 piece of toast, and a yogurt with a little bit of kashi crunch.

    I had a fruit smoothie with mixed frozed fruit and fat free yogurt, yummy! Just trying to decide what to have for my 11:00 snack, I'm thinking Quaker instant oatmeal which should keep me full until lunch at 2!

    Okay, so, I had a piece of Strawberry cake this morning for breakfast. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I would bake a cake every week, give away half, and my family of 3 would have the rest. So, last night was cake night. I think I will postpone my cake baking project until I can have more control. I am a sweet junkie.

    BUT, I packed 1 cup of bing cherries and a medium sized salad with 1/4 cup reduced fat cheese, 1 tbsp reduced sodium bacon bits, and light Catalina for lunch (I usually use less than 2 tbsp).

    For breakfast this morning I had a broccoli cheese omelet made with 2 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 cup broccoli and 2 slices of cheese. I wish I could learn to eat this without the cheese.

    :drinker: Remember to keep drinking that water!:drinker:

    Have you tried Kraft naturals fat free cheese? It's really not that bad...you get use to it. Every now and then, I will treat myself to 2% cheese or 1/4 of the amount I normally use of full fat cheese.
