Good morning ladies!! I just wanted to tell everyone to have a great weekend and don't fall of the wagon, just b/c the weekend is here. I have a tough weekend. My nephew's birthday party today, a family reunion tomorrow, and company staying with us. Moderation is the key!! So far, so good. Kelly---I wanted to let you know…

Hi ladies! Thanks for inviting me to join. I am a happily married 38 yr old. I will be 39 in November. I am a sahm to an 11 yr old son, and 2 daughters ages 2 and 3. Yes, we are nuts! I need to lose over 100 lbs. I have been up and down, but lately it seems to be up, up, up. I had 2 of my kids late in life and I am…

Good morning! Glad to see a lot of people are deciding on short term weight loss goals. I am also hoping for 10 lbs a month. If I look at the whole picture it can be pretty overwhelming, kwim??? I will be honest in that I am having a harder time with this than I hoped. Of course the reason is b/c I left a few, not so…

Wow!! I am so excited so many people are joining this group. Now we all just have to stick with it!!! jlb---you are full of great info. so glad to have you hear. drborkbork---I think planning meals 2 weeks in advance is a great idea. I would love to hear your meals. I will send you a pm with my email. I have a question. I…

marlemmcdougal---I put in my exercise yesterday and when I realized it gave me extra calories for the day, I took the exercise back out. I don't understand the point in exercising to burn calories if you are just going to turn around and eat them again, kwim?

Good morning. How did everyone's do yesterday? I did really well until last night. Stupid leftover oreo cookies and Christmas candy. I have got to face the fact that if it is in the house, I am just not strong enough right now to not eat it. I will do much better today. The sad thing was that I could have had 4 oreos and…

ltlhmom---when you click on community, look down a bit and you will see home, recent posts, my topics, signature and search. click on my topics and you will see the threads you have posted in and you can find us that way So glad we are getting some more members. Kim

Way to go Athena!!! Thanks for sharing Katie. You are doing great! I just finished 37 minutes on my wii fit plus. Kim

I think that cardio 3 times this week is a great idea. I really need to concentrate on that. I also need to increase my water intake. Btw, I am going to try and edit my topic to put in the dates 1/1/10 - 1/10/10. It will be for a week and a half, but it will get us caught up so that we can start new threads on Mondays. Kim…

Good morning everyone! Well today is the day. I weighed in this morning at 294.5. I keep a weigh in chart in my bathroom so I can write it down after I weigh. I looked back and I have gained about 14 lbs this year. Let's hope next January I am seeing how much I have LOST in a year. I am really going to try and focus on 10…

Hi. I am so glad people are joining. I just hooked up my new wii fit plus. I think that is going to be a good way to help get this body moving. Anyone else have wii fit plus? Kim

Thanks. I guess my topic title was too long. I was looking for an email notification when someone replies to a post. Thanks for telling me how. Kim

For those of you still interested, the group will start on January 1. Everybody can post your starting weight for the challenge on Friday and we can make our group weigh ins on Fridays also. Let's really shed some pounds in 2010. If nobody cares we can call the group Eat Healthy; Get Fit; Lose 100+. I had used this name…

Sounds great!!! Start throwing out some suggestions for a name. Kim

new weekly thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/70674-eat-healthy-get-fit-lose-100-new-group-11-9-11-15

Good morning! Wow, yesterday I really let go of a lot of emotions. I have been so mad and angry at myself about my weight that it has really seeped into just about every area of my life. On top of that I am stressed over my 1 yr olds birthday party a week from Saturday, a trip to Disney World, and the lack of Christmas…

Good morning everyone! Well, yesterday I failed miserably with my water so here I am to try again. I woke up in a bad mood, grrrrrrrrrrrr. Mostly b/c I am tired (Saints played Monday night football so it was a late night) and also b/c I am stressed with the holidays coming up, my soon to be 2 yr olds b-day in a couple of…

Shelley130---I also had a rough weekend with food. Grrrr! Is it totally pathetic that I had to send the Halloween candy to work with my husband b/c I can't be trusted with it here???? Kim

Good morning!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!! Don't forget to drink your water!!! Kim

Hi everyone! Sorry I wasn't on earlier today. I had a funeral to go to, my kids had a halloween dress up party at storytime at our library, and I had a parent/teacher conference with my son at school. Whew! Busy day! It seems like Fridays are the most popular weigh in date. I normally weigh in on Mondays, but kinda like…

So what do you guys and gals want from this group? Do you want to just have a place to come and chat about how things are going or do you want some challenges? Let me know and please make suggestions. Kim

Welcome ladies!!! fatty78---I think that is a great idea about the ticker set for when you will no longer be obese. I may have to borrow that idea if you don't mind. :tongue: clheide---I would love to hear your story. I think you could be a great motivation to us. Please share when you have a moment. Kim
