I don't necessarily take free days, but I do relax my diet on Saturday and Sunday. I still try to stay within my calories and track my foods, but if I want to splurge, I do. During the week, I stick pretty strictly to my plan. I've been doing this since the beginning of September and it's working for me - I'm down 35…

Thanks for the info...just downloaded it! :o)

Hello all! :o) I was born and raised in NW Iowa, moved to NE Iowa, and am in the process of moving back to NW. I have a niece at ISU so go Cyclones!! :)

Do you have a local Y? Our YMCA offers student discounts that basically cut the monthly fee in half. Just an idea... :o)

LOL...cute! :o)

Add me if you'd like...we both have a long way to go!! :o)

Yum! B-)

Hi Smilee, I too have problems with motivation. One thing that I've found helpful is to make a list of my reasons to lose and keep it handy to review when I'm having motivational dysfunction (which I have often). :o) Plus, my MFP friends give lots of encouragement! Keep your chin up, chicky!

No problem - just checking! Weight loss is enough of a challenge for me most of the time!! :o)

I'm excited too!!! :smile: Other than weighing in each week, do we have weekly challenges/goals? Just want to make sure that I don't miss an opportunity! :glasses:

I love the Skinny Cow pic! Can you send me instructions? :o)

YAY! Can't wait to get started! :o)

Lol...I like Skinny Blonde Twits! :) Uggg...I can really tell that I've skipped exercise for too long! Videos that used to be in the 'easy' pile are now kicking my heiny. Shouldn't it be the other way around??? Sigh...long road ahead! In the last week since I started, I've been an obsessive scale watcher. I don't think it…

Hi, so sorry to hear that your bestie is having some trouble!! It's hard to watch them age, when you'd rather that they stayed with you forever. I've gone through this with three German Shepherds, two of which I lost this year to cancer and a brain tumor. (Kinda been a sucky year!) Anyway, all three of them were pretty…

Hey, chicky, keep your chin up!! I know it's a slow process, but stay on your plan and it will work out. I know that you mentioned you'd like to be a police officer, but can't because of your fitness level. What about another CJ-related job that you could hold in the meantime? I googled CJ Jobs in NY and found this site:…

Great job! :bigsmile:

Hi Lisa! This sounds like a great idea and I'm in! :) This has worked really well for me in the past - my friend and I worked together and obsessed about weight loss. Unfortunately, she took a new job a few years ago and I lost that support.

A lot of people have metioned http://www.c25k.com/ to help with training for a 5k.

Sounds great! Sign me up! :o)

All I can say is WOW! :o) Thanks for giving me some inspiration as I start on my weight loss!!!

Hello all! I'm from NE Iowa! :-)
