Great suggestions! Thanks, everyone!

By the way, I sure do wish I still looked like I did in my profile photo, lol. That was 12 years and 30 pounds ago.

Awesome!

Hi there! I will be 47 (ouch, lol) at the end of February. I have a three-year old, and I want her to have a healthy momma. I want to lose 56 pounds ideally, but I'd be happy if I got down by 41. I lost almost 40 pounds 12 years ago, but gained it back recently. I know I can do it. Just need some planning and support.

Good luck! I am in the same boat.

Hi! I am new here (first post) and am getting back on track tomorrow!

The old high school reunion, lol! Nothing like that for motivation, huh? I had to skip my 25th since I live out of state. I was okay with that though since I was not my healthiest self. An update from me. I lost 5 pounds this week! Woot! Been a lot more active and have been focusing on getting more protein. Just 12 weeks…

Great goals!! I would LOVE to see size 10 jeans!! Heck, I would be happy with 12, lol. (I am currently in 14.)

The thread in motivation and support is actually called June 1 Goal Group. Just us!!!

Congrats on the weight loss!!! Sounds like a good, realistic goal!

Sand volleyball is a sport I would probably not be good at, lol, but Iove to watch. Good luck with your goal!!!

Lol. Where are you located? I am originally from New Jersey and they have had a very tough winter. Funny how in Arizona we have trouble exercising in the summer.

I can see from your weight loss ticker that you have made awesome progress so far! I love how you have goals and prizes for yourself! I never thought about assigning rewards. I think I will have to do that.

Congrats on the wedding! I would LOVE to do a Warrior Dash! I always thought it sounded like fun. I, too, love goals. I find that signing up for a run always helps to motivate me!

Awesome!!! So nice to see so many posts!!! I started a thread in the motivation and support forum. I think I called it the three month goal thread. In any case, I invite all of you to check it out. We can post our messages of motivation and support over the next three months! We can do it!!!!!

Sounds like a good challenge! The obstacles would worry me. I am signed up for a 4.2 mile at the end of April. Am actually looking forward to it. :)

So, how is everyone doing today?

What's a Spartan race? How far is it? I did a half marathon in 2008 and it kicked my butt. Definitely wasn't full prepared, but I did finish. It is still one of my greatest accomplishments.

Thanks for posting! Sounds like you have a good goal! Nothing like a trip to motivate us to lose weight, huh? :)

Congrats on the wedding!!! How exciting!!! Sounds like you have a good plan!

Sounds like a plan! I think five pounds a month is a reasonable goal. I, too, have a dress that I would like to wear on my cruise. I know I can pull it off with 2 pounds a week. WE CAN DO IT!!!!

Great!!! I do a lot of the meat alternatives, mostly soy products. I do have a great bean chili recipe though. I made it once and it was delicious! My sister got me a slower cooker vegetarian recipe book for Christmas, so I plan on making some of the healthy meals in there soon. I will share once I know which ones are the…

I am going to keep track of things here on the site. I am also going to increase my protein and decrease my carbs. Doc has told me to cut down on the carbs, but it is so hard. I like my bread, lol. Am also going to cut out beer. I don't drink a ton, but I know I should cut out those calories. My boyfriend and I have a gym…

Awesome! Feel free to post away. We all have different ways in which we need to be healthier. :)

Thanks for posting! This was my very first post. I figure support is a good thing, right? I plan on checking in everyday. :)
