Our weigh day is in two days right?  Did we decide to weigh on Sunday?  I am nervous and don't think I have lost or gained! =(

I would love to jump on board! I have lost two pounds this last week and I need the encouragement. I want to continue to lose while others about me eat lots during the season I want to stay focused.  This group would help me a lot!

COUNT ME IN!!!!!

I am 5'3 at 200 pounds (last weighed July 8/yesterday).  That means I should be 170 by Halloween! This is a cool thing! I believe we can all do it.  This means losing atleast 1.9 (almost 2) pounds each week.  Good luck all! Lets keep trying to encouage one another!

However I will weigh on Tuesdays because that is what I have set up and I am going to keep that so I will be posting a different time when I weigh hope this is satisfactory!

Anybody have tips on what they will be doing to reach their goals? Please pass it my way!

I don't know the difference.

I would be such a big plus if I was able to tract all my water and see if I had enough for that day...met a goal.  It would be nice if it was separate from the other food log. Great thinking!

I know that both green and white tea are good for you.  As far as which one is better... well all I can say is that they both come from the same source.  Yet, white tea is the most pure.  My step mother who is a health nut swears by tea and continuously tells me to drink white tea.  Ofcourse, she is speaking of plain white tea.  She told me to get one that I like the taste of so that I do not have to add sweetener.  Naturally, any tea that you don't add sugar, sweetner to is better than one with.  Also, I am not sure about the cold lipton green tea in the bottles... does it have any artificial sweetner, calories, etc?  I just brew the tea myself and sip on it hot at night time.  To me it is great that way.

Great job Sarah for sticking to your guns with your food today.  I got tempted today... of all things (Lucky Charms)  My little boy was eating them and before I new it I had already eaten 1/4 cup.  I know it won't kill me but that was not like me atall to want something like that.  I ended up stopping and got out the old trusty water bottle.  I think a lot of the time I am dehydrated and I confuse it with hunger pains.  Anyway... does anyone have any insight on tea?  I hear that white tea is the best for you... but I have heard that green tea helps you lose weight?  Does anyone know this to be a fact or is it just hear say?

Hey Jodi! Thanks for the welcome!

Kekri84, I just wanted to say hang with it.  I know that I fell off of it many moons ago and it seems harder than ever to get back on.  I am facing something like you.  Two weeks ago I worked out every single day, sometimes twice.  But, last week I did not work out at all.  I still lost because I am eating right, but still... My advice would be maybe try a different exercise.  Perhaps change it up a bit.  Instead of just using the eliptical do someting else.  Perhaps you can get out with a friend or two and walk around a track at a pretty park.  Not only will it be a change of senery it will also probably make you sweat more if you are out in the summer's heat.  These are just suggestions.  Also, do something you enjoy! Meditate and release stored stress.  I do almost every morning.  Working out does not have to be dull, boring and the same ole same ole.  It is what you make it, so make it work for you.  You matter and your time matters so just know that your thirty minutes or whatever time you take to workout needs to work for you.  It needs to be fun and you need to be excited and enthusiastic about it. 

Hey there all.  My name is Mary Beth and I am new to this site.  I have already fallen in love with it and lost 3 pounds last week.  I am 204lbs. and hope to lose lots of weight.  I am extremely motivated and want to pair up with someone as enthusiastic as I am about finally geting on tract with my life and getting healthy.  So, come one come all I would love to chat with you and become buddies with some one who is motivated and motivates me.
