I'll join a little late - but I have gained a pound already this year! (You don't subtract that off the loss total, i hope?) I did manage to lose 25 last year, have another 15 to go, but have been stuck since Thanksgiving. It may be time to start writing down everything I eat again - it was what got me off to a good start last summer.

I just started last week but I am already down 4 lbs. Yay!! It was nice to see the scale going the other way.

I am glad I found this section of the DIS boards.

A realistic goal for me in 2008 would be to drop 35 lbs.

(I think I can...I know I can...I will...).

Looking forward to stories and support.

Me too I want to lose 50 lbs by June when I hit 50!!!

Hopefully I'll lose another 1/2 pound by weigh-in day.

I'm off to my first grocery shopping trip since starting the WISH challenge. Wish me luck!

I'm planning on packing lunch this week. (I'm a school lunch lady, so I usually don't have to. I must say, though, that a lot of our menu items are truly not THAT bad for you as opposed to other schools.) I do a lot of packing my version of bento boxes. If you haven't ever heard of it, it's a Japanese way of packing lunches. While I am in total AWE of some of the creative ways I've seen REAL bento lunches posted online (Some are decorated to look VERY fancy and look like cartoon characters, flowers, etc.), I have adapted it to be much simpler for myself. In all, I make sure that my lunch has a MINIMUM of five colors represented. It also has to fit into the Tupperware container I have chosen. This means I NEVER pack a whole sandwich. It also means I don't just have one big container of one type of food. Having so much of a variety of foods represented means I'm hardly ever bored with my food choices and I get lots of diversified vitamins and minerals, kwim? It really helps me get a physical boost for the day, and I feel good knowing I didn't eat too many carbs... or not enough of fruits and veggies.
