First I have to buy a scale, I switched from my usual drink of choice to low carb beer which I hate, which will mean I don't drink much LOL.
Also at work my department decided to work out together every morning starting at 6am.

I don't think I can lose 20 in 10 weeks but anything is better than nothing.

Thanks SomeNight for starting this...looks like you started a great trend :)

OH...guess what...I brought my gym bag today :)

Great idea, Somenight. I will sticky this thread for you.

I'm starting a little late, but I'll see what i can do. Maybe this is the motivation and incentive I need right now. I've quit smoking (it's been about 4 mos. now, and I've put on a few pounds!) Help!

Well, you've already taken the right step...you quit smoking...maybe you can use exercise to motivate you to NOT smoke.

I hope this keeps me motivated :D

Oh man! I hope I don't have to report my weight going UP this week! I ate a lot of pasta over the weekend! :(

I ate like poo this weekend...but I knew that that was coming....I had two birthday parties and I went to visit my Dad....he's always like "you need to eat!" LOL

Been trying to be more active. Part of my problem of late is that I've been quite the lazy @$$. I've been doing more walking, eating salads and lean meats. Trying to follow a more "South Beach" type of plan, and forcing myself to drink more water. ehh.. brb, have to go to the bathroom!
:eek: :D

I'm the only one who's up. :( Well, I'm pretty sure it's temporary. So hopefully I'll see better results next week. Trying to be positive! :)

I've been drinking 64+ fl. oz a day. I went to the gym 4 times this past week. Did cardio and started lifting weights....but when I got on the scale on the first day...I noticed I wasn't the size I thought I was....eeeeeek! So the weight lost this past weeks is cool, but from here I still want to lose 15 pounds ;)

I've been doing really well. I've been eating healthy...except for last nights snack....a quesadilla....and I've been drinking tons of juices and water. I cut out soda all together. I only went to the gym once last week....which is odd because I lost 2 pounds...but maybe my body needed the rest I took....so back to the gym today ;)

Oh....I've been bad and drinking alcohol..not a lot, but it's empty calories all the same.

yeah, the alcohol is totally the hardest!!!
Soda wasn't too bad...but it doesn't really make a difference.

I hope that everyone is continuing on their weight loss program, but I haven't seen anyone post on this for a while. So, I'm going to unstick this thread, but will make it a sticky again if you need me to. Just let me know.

I'll be the first to admit it...I'm a slacker....I cheated...and I've been cheating....I'm going to start again next week....only because with up coming weekend events there is NO WAY I'll be good :D....so I'll start again....maybe we can be more active in supporting each other next time ;)
