January 2013 Weight Loss Adventure with a prize.
#11
This is open to anyone no matter where you are. Please feel free to join us, send me a PM for mailing address if you decide you want to join. We have lots of fun and encouragment is always needed and welcome from those who chose to join.
Oh, can a Canadian join in?
DH and I both need incentive to lose weight. Dh doctor told him to lose 60 pounds in 2013. Dr. wants him to lose 5 pounds per month. I need to lose at least 60 pounds realistically I should lose 80 pounds. Baby steps, if I can manage 5 pounds per month I will be a happy camper.
I will weigh in on January 2nd, as I will be back at work where we have a medical scale. The one at home is not at all accurate. If you get on and off it the weight varies by up to 7 pounds.

There have been request in the past to know what the FQ themes are for 3 months at a time. For those who wish to send 3 months at a time, here is the list through March
January Neutrals
February: turquoise/shades of blues/greens
March: Pinks/Coral as in the colors of the sunset.
I cant wait to see what comes in from everyone.

Hmmm......I want to win both Feb and March because those colors sound so awesome. Too bad you can't win 2 months in a row.

Welcome to the new ones joining us. Here is a place for encouragement, venting and anything else you need to do or share. We are not a judgemental group. We all have to start somewhere. I know a year ago I was up to 250 and today I am down to 184. The weight didnt happen over night and it wont go away overnight. I lose 1 lb at a time.
So Welcome to:
Painiacs
Tothill

I am still looking for some of our long running member to join in. I may need to send some private messages to encourage those who have dropped out.
Good luck everyone.

In an hour and 40 minutes, a new year begins - a time for new beginnings. I'm in for another month - well, more than that. Coral in March is a real hook for me, though aqua in February is a favorite, too.
Happy New year to all willing to try this adventure, both newcomers and returnees. One day at a time, one pound at a time we can this together.

Ok I love coral and turquoise. Somehow i will have to cheat so I can win both. I know I can't win 2 months in a row. I had better get back on the good food train. Sending the last of the junk food home with DD today. I think I get the award for last month for most junk food consumed in 2 weeks.
Happy New year to everyone. Time for a new beginning.

Taboo Tuesday - give up your old ways and create a new habit starting today. It can be anything, doesn't have to be specifically something to do with eating - although that's what we, on this thread look at. some ideas: How about switch to a diet soda vs full sugared one or sit down to eat your meal vs standing up or eat in the kitchen vs in front of the tv; drive within the speed limit vs over it...see what I mean - create a new habit starting today. Good eating everyone.
