Thanks for the great welcome everyone. I did weigh in today but I think I'm going to change my weigh in day to Friday so I can be on the same page as everyone else. Looking forward to this journey.

I say don't ever beat yourself up no matter what! You're off to the next positive thing and that's all that matters. My resolution this year is to do at least one thing every day that will benefit me in the future. You're going to work out now, that's what you should celebrate!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your food poisoning! That must be awful! :sick:

I'd love to join this group! You are all such an inspiration! My name is Kerry and I'd like to lose about 50 pounds...maybe more but I'll see when I get there. I am 223 now and have set a goal for 175, however for my height it says I need to be 159 at the max. I just wanted to set a smaller goal so it didn't seem so…

That is so awesome!

I'll bet I wouldn't! We were so close to going to DC for spring break this year but opted for Florida. Maybe 2012....how is the weather in late March?

This was such a great question....thanks for posting it. I've wondered the same thing myself.

On my way....April here I come!

Heading in the right direction!!!

One more thing...if you like to swim, the pool is a great place to start. Very gentle on pain.

Welcome! You can do this! I am 48 and have had fibromyalgia since I was 24 and I can tell you that the more you exercise the better you will feel. I know that sounds like an oxymoron but it's true. It's hard to exercise when you hurt but trust my if you can push through that in the beginning, you will see that you actually…

Thanks so much for your replies! baby81 so glad I asked this question...didn't know that you could add other areas....thanks again!

Love my wine too and won't give it up. However....everyone here is right...moderation is key! I actually think that's true for all things.

Welcome!!!! Always wanted to go to DC!

Welcome so glad you're here! I LOVE your username...I hear ya...I'm tired too! :laugh:

Glad to have you!

Good morning everyone! My results are in...I have lost 8 pounds since I first weighed in and I am thrilled. It's probably not really that much because I was sick and at the bare minimum this weekend but I'll take it! kadetr I am with you on deprivation...I never think it's a good idea. I've never been a fast food junkie so…

Traveling is my all time favorite thing to do

Welcome and best of luck to you!!!

Good for you! You know you can do this! I've always wanted to try zumba! I found this place through my phone too. Its great.

So glad you guys are here!

Thanks so much for the help and advice everyone. I will rest then. I was sick in early December, got well and now sick again. I work with kids everyday and I think my germy little friends are sharing their wealth! :happy: Today is chicken soup (low fat of course) and lots of water! Thanks again!

I think as long as you put it in your calorie count you're fine. Besides...I truly believe that if you give up something you really enjoy, you'll end up giving up too quickly.

I'm sending you one now! :smile:

Well....I just started this week and my first weigh-in is tomorrow so I don't know yet if this will work for me but I have a nagging feeling that it will. I was just so sick and tired of paying for weight loss. I've always had the answers, I just need to put them to good use and I don't need a weight loss company to tell…

So sorry for your loss...that had to be more than difficult. I am so glad you found it here and are ready to take charge. I think if we all support each other than we will really be on the start of a great journey! I wish you so much success! Sending you a friend request!

You also mentioned that your husband wants you to work out in the morning when he does but that's not effective for you. I think that you need to do what IS effective for you and if that means you don't work out together then that's fine. The most important thing is that you're both getting physical fitness.

Welcome! I'm a midwesterner with an 8 year old myself! Best of luck!

Welcome! Feel free to add me as well!

I agree...I'm sick about it. That fact that a child was killed is really getting to me.
