I'm in!!!!! Need to lose that and more, but I am in! What is the 30dayds????

Oh - I didn't realize that was 25 situps EVERYDAY... :) Just kidding - looking forward to it. That is something I like doing - believe it or not, but Hey - you don't get to count that as "calories" lost... :( My biggest challenge is time. (and, yes, I KNOW everyone has that struggle). I have a 50 hour week desk job, pick…

Had a good weekend - can't believe I'm saying this, but can't wait to hit the scale on Tuesday - thanks to everyone for your help! Looking forward to next week's challenges.

P.S - Excellent question of Tamara - you are an inspiration and it seemed like it came off very fast. I dont' know how you do it all - the running, etc - you truly are incredible - thanks for all your inspiration, too... :)

Shari - I think that's why we call it "Comfort" food. Although, like an alcoholic, it doesn't bring us much comfort.... I seem to find a way to "eat" when people upset me, too... I don't have excellent words of advice on that topic, but I think acknowleding is half the battle... :) Keep your chin up - this is a marathon,…

I am so very sorry for you and your sister. That is very tough. We'll keep you and her in our prayers.

Shari/Bobbi - You guys are the best! Really, thanks! There are A LOT of things I know having been "successful" at the weight loss game in the past, it's just putting them into practice. And obviously, i wasn't successful - i just managed to "DIET" not change my lifestyle. The idea about "hiding" the vegetables like you do…

Joined on Tuesday (officially Wednesday) - had to get in my last day of eating stuff that's no good for me... ;) Am happy to say: Wednesday - met the challenge and day 2 - no sodas Thursday - met the challenge! :smile: Friday - met the challenge - i haven't taken a vitamin since they were flinstones chewables... :laugh:…

Good afternoon, all! You are all so very encouraging and have so many great stories to tell. It's very hard for me to disclose much about me - I am so very embarassed that I let myself get here. I have no one to blame but me truly (there was a car accident which left me wheel chair bound for a year and a half, but truly…

[/quote] Wow! That phrase, along with the one from Tamara about not being motivated enough to do stuff with her kids REALLY hit home for me. Hi - I am 42 years old I am FAT - (kinda feels like AA). I, too, joined this site when I saw an excerpt on MSN of Tamara's AMAZING story on the Today show. I think this was fate for…

Congratulations to you! That is a huge milestone. I have a LONG way to go to get there - NEVER, EVER thought I'd be saying that. I remember when FAT was 180! Congrats again and good luck - the small battles will win you the big weightloss war! :smile:

Very excited to be a part of the FAB FOUR! Congrats to grandmadmt on the "still no pepsi's" - that is my downfall - Coke/Dr. Pepper. Well, here goes my stats: CW - 267 (as of Sunday, 8/15) FAB FOUR WK GW (9/14) - 259
