Originally Posted By Marlin Perkins I just had lunch... I need to lose weight. I lost about 60 lbs a few years ago and it grew back--with a vengeance. I will do my best this year to exercise, drink water, and slow down when I eat. There. That should help.
Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney I am glad that this thread has found some support.

I have many reasons why I did so (and missed the big meet..sigh) But rather then dole out the excuses (well any more excuses) I posted the thread anew for this year to once again bring us together for support. I think having support among friends will help us make the necessary changes and perhaps the will to keep them. I am sure the path will have valleys and mountains, so it helps to know I can come in here to share them. Thank you and good luck to all those who are here to start the path and those who are already along it.

I am working with my toddler to teach her to ride her bike so that eventually, I can get a bike and we can go on rides together. I keep looking for low impact exercises so that I can do with my dd that will get and keep me moving without killing my knee. (Of course walking around the DLR is always a nice way to go..lol)
Originally Posted By Tandelothien >>Of course walking around the DLR is always a nice way to go..lol<< Now that's some exercise I could get used to, lol. But sadly no, I moved my butt and did my Jillian Michaels Cardio Kickbox DVD and 15 minutes on the eliptical machine. I feel better for not piking out today
Originally Posted By TheParsec Hello All! My goal is to lose 50 pounds this year. I started walking around the neighborhood at night (After work). As time goes by I'll walk more and more. I started walking Jan 1st. I do alot of walking at work, but the doctor says I need to walk after work since my body is used to walking during the day. Well Good luck Everyone!

I'm a compulsive overeater and each moment of every day is a challange of my willNOT power( as I like to call it) I willNOT eat this..I willNOT eat that. LOL! It's so nice to have such a wonderful support system. I know we will all have days or time's of miserable struggle, but with those day's come good triumphant days. Hang in there everyone. Haveing supportive friends here on LP is an amazing thing. Kudo's to everyone here trying to lose this dreaded poundage, And, THANK YOU, to those who aren't loseing weight but come in here to give those of us that are, word's of encouragement and support!! I wanna be proud to be a LOSER! LOL!

Originally Posted By iamsally Well, I feel like we have been pigging out over the Holidays. But something has definitely changed. As in true life style change.

And though we did not deny ourselves anything; fudge, chocolate, adult beverages, eggnog blah blah, blah. We really did eat reasonable measured portions most of the time. We had salads midday a lot. And if we knew we were going to have heavy carb later in the day we skipped the toast with breakfast. Simple stuff like that. I am telling all this because the support of the 2009 thread and the one before that helped make this attitude change come about. Good luck and best wishes to all of us, new and seasoned veterans, this coming year. I need to drop 15-20# this year. I do not care if it comes off slowly just so long as I keep eating healthy and exercising.

It is difficult because my significat other keeps buying sweets and candy and wants to eat fast food and fat food which makes it difficult to be good. So evenings at home end up being the hardest time for me. Plus he prefers to veg out in the evenings watching tv or playing video games. But I think I am stronger then my obstacles, at least I hope so..lol
