Winter is coming, and everyone gains in the winter, so why try to lose weight now. AND... It's too hot to workout in the summer. Fall is really busy. Spring is too wet. Any other season's I could sabotage? Some people (friends) want to be MY size so I must not be too bad. (NOT!)

I am on a mission to lose 10 lbs (45 total). No real time frame but I am serious about it so Mother's Day sounds doable. My challenges are eating out and not exercising on the weekend. 10 lbs sounds easy enough but I have been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for about 6 months. The kids are very supportive but my husband…

Hey Mollie and Jessica. So glad you guys joined. I also joined the December Weight Loss Challenge group. Why not! I am still recovering from my cold so I haven't worked out yet. I was very conscious of my thought process though. The laziness was imbedded in me and I need to shake it off. Usually when my husband is home I…

Name: Eboni Starting Weight: 208 Goal Weight by December 31, 2010: 205 What you will do to get to that goal weight: Exercise 3-4 days/week including once at the gym. Limit restaurant/fast food to twice/week. Hi everyone. May I join? I am coming from a group that has dissolved. I am recovering from a 3 week cold but I need…

Here is the link for the December group. Come on, it's almost 2011. Let's get a running start! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/140087-december-weight-loss-group

Wow, I remember going through something similar but with only 2 kids/babies and my husband WAS cheating on me. They do whatever will hurt our self-esteem the most. It definitely sounds like he's depressed (sleeping and unplugging from the family). There was nothing I could really do until I left him. The main thing I…

I gained a pound too. I didn't think I ate that much candy but TOM and no exercise helps. I am starting to feel revived so we'll see how it goes.

Hey. I'm in. I was MIA in October but managed to lose 2 lbs. I want to try for 3 lbs this month. Weigh in is tomorrow. Stellcorb- loose 5 lbs and be able to jog 3 miles in 30 minutes Janna674- lose 3lbs EboniA - lose 3 lbs

Woo hoo! Wow, it's amazing what a little hope can do. I am down 3 pounds this week. What a relief but I realize what stress can do the body. Not good! Looking forward to October now! TruSunshine- to lose 5lbs (SW on 9/1 is 191.2) -1.6 (189.6lbs) +2.6=)192.2lbs) - 1.8= 190.4 (4.2 to go) Tiarapants - 9 pound down - 0 pounds…

My interview went pretty well, I think. I have the skills so I just hope the chemistry was there. It's such a large company that they grow their own produce and have their own chickens. The cafeteria is actually healthy. I'm just enjoying being hopeful!! I am looking forward to weighing in tomorrow too. Sign me up for next…

I had another thought. Maybe you could crash P.E. time or recess and get the kids involved in a jog. It would be good for them to see the Principal with good exercise habits too.

Hi. When I lost weight before and got to a size 10, I was smokin'!! I'm 5'7" if that matters. Here's my 2 cents. Long term suggestion: You might "try out this weight" until next summer. It takes time for us all (parents too) to adjust to school starting again. Short term suggestion: Maybe you could just maintain until next…

Hey everyone. I'm so happy for everyone who is losing! :flowerforyou: I feel a lot more like myself lately. I have an interview on Wednesday. That might have a lot to do with it. I got my butt up and exercised in the morning (never happens). It was just a video in the living room but I hope I can make a habit of it. It…

Thanks cnbethea! You are always there for me. :flowerforyou: Well, I did it. I logged my food and did a quick workout. It was a 15 minute, on-demand, cardio/ab workout. I learned some great new ways to work my abs too!

Hi everyone! I'm feeling better today. Thanks for all the understanding and motivation!! It took a couple more days but I started logging my food again. Baby steps. I still have lots of things to be proud of though. I needed to buy some pants because I shrunk mine in the dryer. I went to my favorite store and bought the…

I am still not back on track. I don't want to bring the group down but I need help. My mind knows what to do but I don't want to do it! :sad: I'll try again tonight to workout. Tiarapants - 3 pound down - 4 pounds to go (starting 165 lbs) Cnbethea - to lose 10 pounds SW 165.2 Ifychudy - to lose 10 lbs SW 215.4…

Thanks Kim. I usued to tell the kids no. I forgot about that! Duh!

It's TOM but still hanging in there and confident about it. Work is draining my energy but all the more reason to fight back. Hopefully it's not so hot tonight! Happy to see some losses already. Great job! :flowerforyou:

I'm in for the long haul. I got discouraged by the heat and haven't been working out but thankfully, I maintained. I feel a little gushier though! Time to firm that back up. So, the long weekend is ahead so I need to plan some healthy meals to stay on track. I hope everyone has a wonderful 3 days. Tiarapants - 1 pound down…

Thanks for starting this. I need some exercise accountability badly! I have the Biggest Loser Boot Camp, 30 Day Shred, a yoga video, and a gym membership and whole lot of EXCUSES (of which I will not go into)! I will start tonight and aim for 4 days/week. Weekends are hard but I think I get a workout just by being around…

I have a really cheap gym too, no classes but only $10/mo. I go there when I need to do intense cardio on the elliptical, it's still cheaper than buying one. I also don't like to lose that time with my kids so I try to go once or twice a week. With that said, I do a lot of videos too. I like having options.

I'm in for September! I'd love to be under 200 by Halloween. I feel good and started getting comments about my weight loss. Compliments usually derail me but I want to break that pattern. Let's go September!! Tiarapants - to lose 7 pounds (starting 165 lbs) Cnbethea - to lose 10 pounds Ifychudy - Tattoodfreek- will update…

Well, I lost 2 of the 3 I gained but no goal this month (unless it miraculously falls off by Tuesday). Sorry I haven't really been around, I got a really good book and I am so engrossed in it! I'm not even exercising as much because of it. Not good! I'll have to use the reading as a reward for exercising. JoJo, glad to…

Awsome Miss Amy! Way to go! And Gigi, another lb gone! Jessica, I feel your pain. The energy will come back around. :flowerforyou: I think/hope I figured out my problem. The "sabotage" I've been doing has to do with the attention I started getting. It wasn't even from being seen, but a couple of old friends and boyrfriends…

Hey everyone! Well, I had another hectic week. Between prepping for camping and going to my cousin's wedding on Saturday. The wedding was an hour and a half away but our truck broke down about 1/2 an hour away in the middle of the night. My husband was working and had to leave to drive an hour to pick us up. We went…

Welcome babygirl. Glad you decided to join us. I lost another pound. How? Who knows. TOM and no exercise are not the magic combination but I know if I don't start working out again, it will be a fluke.

OMG!! I lost another pound! Just don't ask me how. It's TOM and no exercise all week but I did limit my sodium so maybe that's it. This good news is so motivating. I know I need to keep working out if I want this to stay off. I'm so happy for everyone who is losing. If you're struggling, just remember it won't last. We all…

Hey everyone. I am having a hectic week. The kids start back to school in 2 weeks so it's just chaos plus TOM. I just wanted to post the most up to date list and let you know I'm still here. :flowerforyou: Tattoodfreek – to lose 8 pounds and HIT GOAL WEIGHT!! – down 2.6 = 5.4 remaining Tiarapants - to lose 7 pounds…

Oprah just reran the original interview with Geneen Roth today. Wow, what timing! I have been eating all day and feeling out of control. I needed a refresher on this topic and I plan to reread my posts. I kind of got obsessed about what I was eating and how much and started focusing on all the things I was doing wrong.…
