I would like to join this challenge.

Just for today: -I will log everything I eat. -I will take a walk today. -I will be gentle with myself. -I will refer to my lists. I entered the "be gentle with myself" with ambivalence. I have now entered it with each post and as long as I enter it with thoughtfulness I will continue. It has worked for me when I start…

What a nice thread! Finding this is already brightening my day. Just for today: - I will make my goals quantifiable so that I can measure them without fuzziness. - I will take a walk morning and evening. - I will log all meals and snacks. - I will make a plan for tomorrow. - I will take a yoga/meditation class via video.…

Diana - I have to say I have real "Florida envy" -- Orlando, Tampa, Cocoa . . . . I love the ocean - Sanibel/Captiva is one of my most favorite places in the world. Play in the sun for all of us who are under rain clouds day after day. (actually, it's sunny out right now - but I won't say that loudly cuz it's probably just…

I lost 3 pounds and am very happy about that! But, I can't get my little ladybug to show the loss and that is frustrating. My diary shows my loss but the ladybug won't move. Any help? (I figured it was automatic) By the way, no way I can do jumping jacks. Just one foot off the floor for me. What about real stairs? BTW -…

Nike does say it all. 3 little words that cut to the chase. "Identify your problems but give you power and energy to solutions." Tony Robbins (Just do it!)

I love that quote about lapping everyone on the couch. "People say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing --- that's why we recommend it daily." Zig Ziglar

If you would like some humor - try reading "Paying the Piper" by Sharon McCrumb. She is an Appalachian (read App-a-latch-un) area writer who mixes wry humor and loveable characters into fun mysteries. Some of her other novels are darker "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" - some more trendy "St. Dale" about NASCAR, some…

Well, squats should be a real challenge for me. Since anything that made me grunt has been off limits for quite a while . . . .!!! But, the phrase "in for a penny, in for a pound" is knocking around in my head. I will just make sure the shades are down and no one will be the wiser! btw, Diana, I thought you were in…

4 pounds gone since I joined the challenge - and I am so pleased! I swam (sometimes with a kick board) for 30 minutes and that'll probably have to do today. I will stay under my calorie goal because that little sign that tells you where you will be in 5 weeks is a great motivator - --- whether you are over or under. Diana…

Well, I spent the day in the hay fields today. And so I have no idea how to count my exercise. Riding a tractor in and of itself is sedentary -- getting up hay is not. :flowerforyou: I'm really just bragging cuz we bought part of the family farm that has been in my husband's family since 1780's! This is one of the main…

I am the cheerleader, enthusiastic and supportive. Probably, because I'm older, I have the "mom" thing that spills over into all my relationships. I am the witty, funny one - full of stories and work to make everybody happy. I can get "too bright" and become dominant - I work on sharing the spotlight.

Please "walk a mile" in this young lady's shoes before you judge so harshly and self righteously. Overcoming addiction to ANY drug is commendable and should be applauded. Way to go!!!

Well, I have a rather large "umph" which is why I'm with you folks today!!! This is my 3rd day of exercising by dancing for 30 minutes. A month ago I was in Kentucky for the Rolex 3 Day Event and had to use a handicapped cart part of the time - so, this is exciting for me. I have faithfully put down everything I am eating…

First, thank you for starting this challenge. I am so motivated and ready - I have started early. Secondly, your quote today was meant for me. I am 61 - and over the years, I have started "taking the elevator" instead of the stairs. Now my pill count is up and my outlook WAS down. I have been everybody else's cheerleader -…
