Good for you..............doing the happy dance ..... but the 3lbs you lost I gained. I knew I would gain weight and I didn't care. This past week has been very tough and I eat crap when I am upset. Hopefully I will get back on track ASAP!!!!!!!!!!! OH WELL tomorrow is another day!!!! (Scarlet's quote from Gone With the Wind)

Hey Trupeach... maybe her lost weight multiplies when shared...I also gained 3 lbs... :( Can you want to go walking with me???? We can synchronize our walks and "talk" with each other :D

I wonder what is a good time between weigh-ins? I went to doc last week and today I weighed and am four pounds lower. I'm estatic, hard to loose weight. But, I am on a good program for my diabetes and I feel so good. Since I live alone, I haven't anyone to tell or share so this means a lot ot me. Thanks my friends! Y'all, keep up the positives and I'll try to do so as well. Bless ya, Ruth

I have not signed on yet, but really should.
Since hubby and I lost our jobs 14 months ago I have gained, and gained, and gained. I know I should move more and get out and walk, or do the treadmill but knowing it and doing it are two different things.
Mind if I just hang out here and maybe get some motivation??
Thanks

Hang out all you want to we love the company. You can add to the fun, start your diet let us know how you are doing and next month when we have sign ups for the rewards join in. There will be a biggest loser/winner every month. I plan on keeping this thread going until I lose 40 more pounds and at the rate I am going it is going to be for a pretty long time. I am thinking probably about a year. :shock: :shock: :shock:
