Hi there! Joining in...

[disneymom3]

Hello, all
I have lurked here and there for the last couple of weeks but wasn't ready to get back on track so didn't sign myself in. Now I'm ready--I'm on my third day within my points and have already come down two pounds--mostly water I know, but I still like it!

I am doing WW. Had started in Feb and stuck with it in Mar. I was going to meetings, but really didn't get anything form the leader and the budget around here is in truoble (see below) so I quit. Then April kind of lost motivation and in May crashed and burned. Well, not too bad, I guess as I didn't gain any back. I have lost 15lbs so far this year and am aiming for about 100 more.

My big challenges are journalling and excercising. If I journal I do really well, but every so often the rebellion/lazy monster emerges and I stop writing things down and sure enough stop losing. And I really just don't like to be sweaty!

What else do you need to know about me? Let's see... I am the at home mom of three and I homeschool my oldest who is almost 7, but this month I am going to school to get my real estate license. My DH was laid off last Sept and nothing is coming along so we are going to be making some major adjustments. I had always intended to get my license but not for a couple of years.

So, that is me! Looking forward to getting to know everyone around here and share and learn with you.

Hi <b>disneymom3</b>! Welcome to WISH. I'm really glad that you decided to join us.

I really like your signature:

You can't plan the future with a rearview mirror

You know, I think that is perfect for WISH. It's just so true.

Well, it sounds like you are ready to start losing again. You have a plan that works, you know your weaknesses and you have a great attitude. You are going to be a great addition to my support group. I like your positive attitude.

Would you mind posting to our Challenge thread too? It just helps me to keep track of all of the members of my support group. You will find that post <b>HERE</b>

I think you are going to like it here, WISH is a caring and helpful place. The support group is just wonderful. It's made of up men and women following every possible weight loss plan and every single one of them are kind hearted and always ready to help. All they ask of you is that you be ready to help them too, if they need it.

I'm really glad you are here with us now. You're going to do just great. Honest you are. You are on your way to goal, now and we are all going to help you get there!

Welcome Julie, good luck to you!

 

[disneymom3]

Thanks so much for all of the warm welcomes!

Katholyn, yes, my signature line means a lot to me. I can change anything in the future, so that's where I try to keep my focus.

One week further and tracked all week. (Except I take Sundays off.) Walked every other day, which is my plan, so I am feeling great about all of that.
