Hi Jill - count me in! :blush: Starting weight: 260 Goal weight: 197 Current weight: 260 Total weight lost: 0 This week's successes: asking for help This week's challenges: tracking all food, drinking enough water

Me please :blush:

Signed up last week - still haven't been - afraid to walk in the door - gotta get over that

The excuses have been winning - time to buckle down :/

Ok @jm216 and @Jeyradan count me in! I'll add 15 mins of body weight exercises to my day :blush:

Yep - I agree! :smile:

Congratulations @jm216 :)

lol @crazyravr - good idea - I would feel the same way - not interested in going when it's really busy thanks @stevepaul0404 - I'm not interested in the massage chairs or tanning either :)

Thanks @kathrynjean_ :smile: I've heard similar reviews from others. I'm just starting out - never joined a gym before so I don't even know what to look for. Sounds like it might suit my needs for now.

Thanks @jm216 and @Jeyradan :blush: It was nice not to think about it for one meal. And yesterday I had no trouble getting back on track - yay! Hoping to get out for a walk tonight :) Leanne

Feel off completely yesterday... It was my 19th wedding anniversary and we went to the local Italian restaurant we like - I decided to enjoy myself and not worry too much about what I was eating... big mistake! I felt so gross the rest of the night! Right back at it today :blush:

Haven't really fallen off yet but need to get better at tracking - more water - and back to walking daily :)

Weird that I came across this today! I went to check out the local gym last night - I wanted to get some information on a membership. My first thought was "what am I doing here? - I don't belong!" My second was "what's with all the mirrors!?" LOL Lots of encouraging words and good advice! <3 You've already taken that first…

Hello from Ontario :)

LOL - you guys are funny! :blush: I missed most of it myself! ETA: I'm not going to worry about having it cleansed and reposted - I was being silly - I'm feeling better today and just want to move forward Leanne

Thanks everyone - I appreciate the kind words and encouragement <3

My Doctor told me to try to hit 50 - I thought I would go lower - I don't like it so I haven't been doing well - I'm going to try 50 this week :)

Still struggling to find that balance of eating what I should be eating and liking it :D

I walk - daily (that won't change) But I'm about to "waste" my money on a gym membership - I want to lift! :smile:

@jm216 Yay! Great job! Yes @Jeyradan - you have a lot awesome tips - thanks! I'm not logging here but I am journaling (I'm a pen to paper kind of gal!) I like to add pictures, notes and quotes - things that motivate me. A couple of NSV's to share: I passed up ice cream when we took the kids out (and wasn't bitter about it!…

I love this thread! This is something I've wanted to do for awhile. @Pinklacroix I resemble your before pics - how did you get started? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :blush: Leanne

I don't know - it's my very least favourite part of this journey ;)

Got my iPod ready and I'm putting on my shoes - heading out for a walk before work (desk job) - not dying to to do it but I do feel better afterwards :wink: :blush: Leanne

Still on the wagon but with one foot dangling ;) Have started walking again (3-5km/day) and hope to work on a meal plan for next week. Need to keep it simple and not let my mistakes derail me altogether. One day at a time L <3

Thank you :)

I've had a Fitbit One since 2014 and I love it :)

Thanks @MaryDeLoria - I just found another thread discussing it - guess I should have searched first ;)

Been off the wagon too long... jumping back on today - need to make this work
