Weighing in in the am, stay posted, lol!

Just a note to say...be careful. There's been a not of new research on this lately, actually, and it turns out that while exercise is absolutely beneficial to your health, and may someday help you maintain your weight, when it comes to weight loss itself, it's pretty much all about what you put in your mouth. There are a…

Held steady this week, wah. I hate how it comes off so fast at first and then slows to a crawl. I need to up my activity, too. FUN!

Congrats, y'all. I'm only down 1 this week, but it's better than nuthin. Wish it came off as fast as it came on! Have a good week!!

Hey all, congrats to everyone for the hard work. This is HARD. Just stay focused on small goals, be good to yourself. I hope to be around more, I had some sort of flu from hell. Hope it's not going around wherever you live. I lost 5 lbs, lol, but I'd rather do it the old fashioned way. I'll make a new thread on Monday for…

Welcome! I just noticed we're up to 30 members! so I hope we can help each other while having fun, it seems like a great group, lots of neat folks. Hope it helps you stay on track, see ya Monday! Joy, aka jbells93

I'm a newbie, too, just 3 days in, but I created a group and we've got quite a few members already. We'll meet once a week, on Mondays, to report our loss/gain, get congrats or support, trade tips or whatever else that comes up, even a chance to vent frustrations or rant at the world, lol. It's called E.A.T to Lose (…

Wow, hello all you Okies!!! I'm Sooner born, Sooner bred, lol! Sadly, I married into the Navy and have been a gypsy since then, living EVERYWHERE!! I was born in Tulsa, went back and forth between there and Muldrow, my dad's hometown (it's just across the river from Ft. Smith, AR). I went to school in Jenks from 3rd to 6th…

You can join without one, but I'll try to get one sent just in case. Hope to see you Monday!

Aww, thank you sweetie pie! I get extremely frustrated because I'm a "go-er" by nature, but I got in so much pain before that now, even though I feel much better, I'm afraid of doing anything that's going to put me back in the ugly spot, ya know? I don't want to rock the boat, but I've gotta get the weight off or else I'm…

Welcome kttynieve and kdyuille! Great to have you both. Kdyuille, I sent you an invite to the group but you beat me to it, you'd already joined, that's awesome! Just ignore the invite I sent. First meeting is Monday, so don't forget to check in, give us your status for the week, and we'll cheer you on, either way. Great to…

@ravjit2 I sent you an invite to our group, first meeting is Monday. We're going to check in once a week with status updates, give congrats and support and just talk about whatever comes up, hopefully help each other along the way. Hope to see you there!

Funny.....I grew up in Providence, RI and then got sent to Fort Lewis after AIT from 87-90. [/quote] Lol, that is weird! Life is funny. The hospital on Ft. Lewis was awesome. My daughter was born 10 weeks early, weighed 2 lbs. She was there for 8 weeks, never got sick, just needed time to grow and get big enough to come…

Monday it is!!! Work hard and be good over the weekend so we can report lots of lbs. GONE!!! I'll make a new thread every Monday where you can post your status and get congrats or support, where we can vent some steam if needed, get some tips and advice, etc. I'm looking forward to it, see y'all then!!! My name is Joy, btw…

Hmm part of my post was cut off, maybe there's a word limit or something? Anyway, all it really said was that I hope you both have a good few days, are good over the weekend, and are ready to report in on Monday with how much weight you've lost! I'll start a new thread every Monday, and you can respond to it with your…

Hey guys, welcome! I hope we get some more folks to join, but even if it ends up just us 3, we'll still get the benefit of being accountable to others, and that's the most important thing. How about we do weigh in/status reports on Monday? I'll start a thread each week where you can sound off and get whatever support you…

Hey y'all, I'm new, first day too! I started a new group, called E.A.T to Lose ( Encouragement, Accountability, Tips ), would love to see you all there. Trying to set it up so that we report to each other once a week, get congrats for success, encouragement for struggles, and hopefully helpful tips and info to get you…

Hey all, I created a new group called E.A.T. to Lose (Encouragement, Accountability, Tips ). It's a public group, we're just starting, please join and help get this up and running. Good luck to all!

Hey all! I'm trying to form a small group of friends who report to each other once a week or so, give status updates, share tips, give encouragement, etc. I think I'll be more consistent if I know I have to tell someone, ya know? Send me a friend request if you'd like to do this with me. Good luck to all!!!

Hey! I'm new too, first day. Hoping to find friends I can report to once a week or so with status report, etc. I'm available to you as well if you'd like to report back. I think I'll be more motivated if I have to tell someone how I'm doing, ya know? Friend me if interested. Good luck!!!

Me too! I'm hoping to find some folks to maybe form a group with, and all of us give progress reports once a week or so. I think I'll stick with it better if I know I have to tell someone every week. Does that interest you? Send me a friend request if so and we'll figure something out. Good luck no matter what!
