I also have over 100 lbs to lose. I'm from Texas. We can do this! Add me please!

I'm there with you! Feel free to add me.

Met my 2nd goal!!!! Okay, my goals have only been 4 pounds each, so I will up it to 5 pounds this time. I'm soooo excited! Let's get this moving! (the scale and me...lol) I will have students tomorrow and my my daughter will be in kindergarden....wow! what a day! Guess I'm off to get my haircut...hopefully no grays! (I…

I know what you mean! I started this with just drinking a glass or two of water. Now I'm up to 6 or 7. Slowly but surely I will get there!

You all look amazing! Maybe I will be able to post some of my own pics one day!

I know water jogging is in the database. That may be a starting point.

My dog's name is Faith. She was a street rescue, thanks to our neighbors 12 years ago. She's my baby still. Because of faith, my daughter has an uncanny ability to act like a dog for hours at a time!

10 cups of water---check 2 hours of moving boxes in 104 degree weather---check blisters on top of blisters---check sweated about a ton of water---check 2 brownies---check :( long day. Will try to do better tomorrow. Goodnight.

I got all of my water in yesterday and some movement. I was under my carb and calerie goals!!!!! I hope everyone has a great day today! It's moving day for me!!!!!! (gotta move my classroom) WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! Lots of moving!

Reflux is better. I've really been fighting a cold and I think it's just not helping the issue. I am ussally not stressed for school but this year I'm on a new team and a new grade level....been teaching 4th for 8 years! And to top it off our school has been remodeled....great! I know! But I've been told we only have this…

I'm in! Not fond of points but that's okay, I'll give it a try!! Thanks for organizing this!

Here I am at 1:40 am eating animal crackers to settle my upset stomach. I've had really bad acid reflux all day. (I know...tmi). Isn't it funny how they are called animal crackers even though they are obviously cookies? So many companies try to fool us. We are not fooled! I'm still eating cookies in the middle of the…

Congrats Gary! Wow! You are an inspiration! And I love your dog....looks just like mine!

Jana, don't be so hard on yourself! I went over my calories all last week and gained a pound. I refuse to do the surgury also! I will be the biggest teacher around also. But I know I am changing the whole way I live my life. I have to return to work in a week.....not sure how I'm going to avoid all those good foods during…

Thanks for the comments everyone! I still don't think I will tell my coworkers. This is my change, not theirs.

I am doing this for myself as well. I just hope there is a point in which I don't feel like everyone is critiquing me. My family is extremly supportive....and that's all that matters!

Okay....so I went on vacation and gained back everything I lost. I knew I would, so I guess it's okay. I have been eating out and junk food since last Wednesday. I feel like crap.....not from the weight gain but simply from the bad, really bad food! I can't weight to get started again and to eat much better food! We were…

Hey everybody! I just wanted to check in and confirm that I certainly have not quit eating and wasted away off the face of the earth! Wouldn't that be nice? The quit eating and wasting part....don't want to totally disappear. Anyways....I'm on vacation and I do not always have an Internet connection. I should be back, full…

Great job crzyone! Happy Wednesday! We will have a sucessful day! We are not alone in this journey. Many of us may now be telling our friends and family about this journey to a new life style (for a fear of failure), BUT this doesn't mean we are alone! We have one another! Go eleminators! (I have a burst of enthusiasm…

:sad: I started my not drinking coke yesterday. So far so good! Only water...blaaaaa. I had one in my had earlier, realized what I was doing and put it back. It helps that I have a 5 year old telling me...no mommy, you said you were not going to drink coke today. I usually have one about now and one right before bed. I'm…

Situps here I come!!!! No cokes today! Only water! :laugh:

I want to join also! I am a 34 year old mother of two, wife of one and teacher of 22ish. I have never been on a 'DIET' in my life, because that would be like admitting that I was fat. I stepped on the scale this morning and I am 279.6 (is that fat?) down from 283 two weeks ago. I want to change the way I live. Up until now…

Congradulations! I'm glad to see you here.I too have 2 children and a husband of 12 years in Oct. I joined 2 weeks ago and so far I have lost 3 pounds. Keeping track of my food has really helped me for the last couple of weeks. Wow! It has even made me accually want to exercise also! my first goal was to lose 4 pounds. I…
