Another jumping in with y'all!

[vital]

I just introduced myself on the challenge sticky thread. In summary, I need to lose about 25lbs. I'm going on a cruise in October of 2007 and want to be comfortable and confident in my bathing suit. I'm not talking thong :scared1: I'm talking whatever I wear!

I need some tips on how to get started. Do I check in everyday or how does this work? I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all and encouraging you through this rough spot in our lives~!

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: YAHOO!!! You're going to feel sooooo good on that cruise and you have a good time frame to make some great healthy changes before then! :) I would go out and pick out a "fantasy" outfit that you'd love to wear when you go...hang it up and KNOW you'll be wearing it! :) Or pick out a nice suit..they're all going on sale now! :)

WELCOME!!!!!

Hmmm, a bathing suit is a good idea! Especially since they are all going on sale! Thanks for the idea! I haven't done very good this week so far. I'm a nurse and have to take call for one week out of the month. This is that week and we have been very busy and I've had to work late. Working late equals bad eating around here! Hopefully I can get more into it next week!

Welcome to Wish!

I am so glad you have come to join in on our quest.

Sorry about that working late and bad eating thing. That is difficult for many. I WISH I had the answer to that for my DH.

Come often, post lots! You can make it!
