I decided to start my own group Beginning November 1st. I'm not going to set a month limit but a life limit. To better my health not only for my kids and husband but for myself. My husband is on this journey as well. We will have weigh in on Saturdays. Anyone who is just starting out or has already started their journey and would like to join this group you are more than welcome. 0

I would love to joing this group. I have been wanting to joining one, but I didn't want to start halfway into it. I have only been doing this for a couple of weeks, and Saturday weigh-ins are perfect for my schedule.
I agree with the "life limit" idea. I have set myself small goals, but my overall goal is to change my life and my lifestyle for myself and my family. I chose to start my family later in life, and I want to be around for many years and one step towards that is weight loss and healthy living. 0 -
I'm in as well... I have been on a plateu now for quite some time. I do have a mini goal to be at 210 by November 30th, my second wedding anniversay. I have aobut 14 pounds to go. I've been here for about 4-5 weeks now. I am working out faithfully, but haven't seen a change in the scale. I am weighing in on Wednesdays. I found I was weighing everyday and maybe justifing my cheats, so I am hopeing that with only a 1x weigh in I will become a bit more committed to the daily food intake...
I am also working through a biblical based book for weight loss. I'm stuck on Chapter 9, It's a shame, but I can't come up with my most proud moment of my life so far.. I have lots of ideas, but I don't feel that they really express who I am and who I want to be, they don't define me. I think that I need to work through this week in the "Loss it for Life" and maybe I will see some change in the scale. This is a great book if anyone is interesed in working through it too. My Mom is starting her 3rd round of the 12 week series and has lost over 60 pounds... GO MA!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck to everyone...God Bless0 -
Hi madeline.
I would love to be part of the Nov group. I only started in Sept, and I still have a long way to go. Coolness!0 -
i would like to joing as well. need motivation.0
-
I am up for joining as well. I would like the motivation and support, but I will give it too!
Will the first official weigh in be tomorrow?0 -
I would love to join! I just began my journey, and I also just ordered the 30 day shred. This is a great way to hold everybody accountable!0

Welcome everyone. I have small goals as well but I didn't want to set a time limit for everyone to reach. I believe we are all responsible for our own goals. But we need the support of others on this life long journey. Starting Next saturday I will start a new post for every week. Just look for the name. We will use this post until then.
A little about myself. I am 28 and the mother of 3 wonderful boys ages 7, 2, and 3 months. I have always had problems losing the baby weight. My husband gained with me as well. We have decided to both get our lives in order and be able to play with our boys without getting winded. I have about 75 pounds to lose to get to 155 which is a normal weight for my height. My husband is looking to lose the same. I am glad I have others to share this journey with.0 -
yes tomorrow will be the first weigh in. Everyone make sure when you weigh yourself you do it at the same time of day and on the same scale. I weigh myself right when I get up after using the restroom. They say that is best time because your body is pretty much in the same state every time when you first get up.0
-
Count me in. I've been in a slump the last few months and need all the help I can get.0
-
i'd like to join also, I'm kind of new to the boards so someone tell me what we need to do besides the weigh ins?
I have a cruise planned for my birthday and that is my mot to get my butt in gear! I'm having trouble with the snack thing, I keep eating the same things over and over and well its now getting boring so I could use some help there.......0 -
What are you eating storm chaser??
You really don't have to do anything beside that. The boards are here to help with your journey. Like venting, asking questions, or sharing a reached goal. It always helps to have other people involved, it helps keep you motivated.0 -
as far as I know my food thing is open to read, I try hard to keep in the calories daily and I really have to watch my carb intake other wise I end up passing out sometimes so that has been an issue for me to get a handle on as well.
I try to get the the gym as often as I can but I work 2 jobs so thats is hard sometimes but I need to start going again bad! Plus I was told that I have 2 disc that are bad in my back so that so doesn't help.
I need all the help I can get!0 -
Stormchaser--- some of my favorite snacks are popcorn, nuts, celery with hummus, apples with peanut butter, rice cakes, and string cheese. I always keep celery cut up and at eye level in my refrigerator instead of hidden in the crisper so when I head over to the fridge it is the first thing I see.
Sometimes I will eat snacks that are not as healthy but better choices than other snacks. My favorite are 100 calorie packs like goldfish and the party mixes. You have to look out for these kind of things though because while they are low in calories, they are high in other things. Like everything, they are best in moderation!0 -
Ok for all of those that will be weighing in with us in the morning. Good Luck and I will see yall in the morning.0
-
Good morning everyone. Well I weighed in this morning and I have lost 3 pounds. My husband lost 5. Good luck to everyone else weighing in. Also try to measure yourself at least every 2 to 3 weeks. Sometimes you don't lose weight but you do lose inches. And that will help keep you motivated as well.0
-
good morning all! well I'm weighing in at 242 with a loss of 2 lbs since i had last weighed in. So how often do we need to weigh in, I weigh every week and track it here.
good luck to all for a great start!0 -
I am 119.6. I lost .4 lbs. Losing the last 10lbs is very hard but i a lifting weights so i am hoping to gain muscle.0
-
Hi all,
Hmm, no change in weight, but i lost inches! 0 -
We weigh in once a week on Sat Stormchaser. Good job on the weight loss.
Naircint, like I said earlier, losing inches is just as important and the number on the scale. That is what counts when your putting on your new clothes. That means the fat is moving off of your muscles and your muscles will have room to grow.
Good Job limestar and lifting weights really will help. Muscle burns fat.0 -
I weighed in today at 162.8 for a loss of 1.2 pounds. I was not totally dedicated this week, and since I am just starting out, I am expecting a bigger loss next week.
Congratulations to everyone---- keep up the good work!
Has anybody done Jillian's 30 Day Shred? I have seen a lot about it on this site and ordered the DVD a few days ago.0 -
I just bought the dvd today in the store and I haven't had the gut to try it but I will soon! I think she can really kick our butts!0
-
I agree! Hopefully we'll start around the same time and be able to keep each other going!0

AButler any weight loss is a good one don't forget that. I have been wanting to try that DVD as well. Hope everyone was able to resist the Halloween candy. It was hard. I have two boys who racked up last night at least my 2month old can't trick or treat yet. LOL:laugh: Everyone make sure to drink your recommended water as well. It really helps to flush your system out. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

since I don't hand out candy anymore (it upsets my dogs with all the people, I have really old dogs) I was able to stay away from all the candy, but I'm not much of a candy eater anyway but that darn candy corn that my mom always has around. The weekend was a good one, I checked out that DVD this morning and OMG its so going to kick butt, I'm already sore! I'm going to hit the gym too tonight after work so all is great!
Have a great day everyone!

Me too, need some motivation, I've gained 20 lb's in the last year, and need to start with that, but mostly stop the yo-yo-ing. My husband and I are both shooting for 10 lbs. lost in Novemeber, the first 10 is always the easiest, right?
I'm going to rehydrate myself today, not a lot of water this weekend, too much alcohol (parties, not typical for me, Halloween), candy, crappy food, not feeling too well today. Making homemade veggie soup, going to eat very healthfully, had eggs/toast/cantaloup/kefir for breakfast. Going to start marathon training again, for 1/2 marathon in January, and then on to a spring. Really need to lose the weight and get running again, been a real slacker! No more!0 -
I've been on this site for quite sometime now, but have completely lost motivation
I'd like to join, I can get my first weigh tomorrow morning. Good luck everyone!:flowerforyou: 0 -
I weighed in this morning at the same *SIgh*, but I have been really good at avoiding the Halloween goodies since Friday. I split two small pieces of chocolate with my daughter on Sat, and had a fun sized M&M while watching a movie yesterday.
But I feel like I'm getting the mindless snacking under control this week, and I was this close to getting up and working out this morning.:explode:0 -
Stormchaser- Let me know how that DVD is. I think I am going to go get it myself.
Angiebangie- you can do this, my husband and I are doing this together as well.
Sarabear- we are here for you. let us know how your weigh in goes and anytime you need to vent you right ahead. We will do our best to keep pushing you toward your goals.
Cynder- that is a big step, getting the mindless snacking under control. Many people don't realize they are even doing it. You can always lose weight but you need to change your habits and your outlook on things before the weight will stay off for good. That is why some people yo-yo so much, because they didn't change their habits, they just tried new ones that helped them lose weight and when they lost the weight they dropped the new habits and continued with the old ones.
Everyone is doing great, keep it up.0 -
Good Morning All! Well I got up this morning and did the 30 day shred and well lets just say it really does a workout for ya. My legs still feel like jelly and my arms are getting back to normal feeling too, and I didn't use the hand weights. However I need to do some rearranging before I do it again. I need to move it downstairs where things won't fall off the wall during the cardio (that was the problem this am). I think that this DVD is going to kick start things for the better, I look forward to using it more! Just thought I'd pass the little info along!
It really will work if you keep with it!0 -
:happy: i would love to join! Better late than never! i have got to get thru the holidays with no gain but a loss!!!!!0
