Welcome to Weight Loss and Dieting 2010

[Barb135]

Well, we are officially ending a year and beginning another.  Wishing everyone the best New Year ever.  

As we know a new year seems like the time to make new commitments, because we are making a "fresh start" or new beginning.  Now is the time to rethink options and make our resolutions  It's time to decide what we are going to do for the next year, regarding our weight loss efforts.  

I know there are a lot who are having health issues and of course, LIFE takes over sometimes and we don't seem to be able to follow through with our commitments.  

There are many different methods of losing weight -- a new diet comes along almost every day; new articles are printed in magazines with suggestions of all kinds, from diets to exercise routines and of course, they all profess to be the best.  

I still find that making small changes and taking baby steps is the safest way to go.  Lifestyle changes that we will stick to are by far the best........

If you want something badly enough, you can achieve it, whether it's for health reasons, self esteem or any other reason.

What are your plans?  Are you following a program that's working -- if so, maybe you'd be willing to tell us about it - whether it's a diet or exercise plan?  Are you looking for a program that will work for YOU?  Are you an emotional eater?  Do you have a body "image" problem (think you're fat, when the numbers say you aren't).  Have you lost the desired amount of weight and are now "maintaining"?  Whatever your issues or situation, we'd like to hear them.  

Whatever weight loss issues you might have, I'm challenging all our members (both old timers  and new comers) to make a commitment for their weight loss and to make every effort to follow through.  

HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS.................

Okay, we are almost 2 months into our new year --- how is everyone doing?  

As many of you know, I've had a lot going on since before Christmas - my aunt, houseful of company, etc, so actually "working out" has gone by the wayside once again, but I'm still doing okay.  My weight is bouncing -- depending on what I'm eating, which, with all the company and extra cooking they do, is too much.  Part of my company will be leaving this weekend, so I'm hoping to be able to get back into a routine, but we'll see.

Anxious to hear how YOU are doing..........

Can you tell us how tall you are?  What kind of food(s) do you eat?  How much exercise do you get? What kinds of things do you like to do?  

I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but without knowing something about you, it's hard to answer your questions.

Welcome aboard.

hey there -- welcome back........sorry to hear about your 10 pound gain, but so good to see you back.  It's good if you can hit the gym again, but you don't have to wait for that -- don't forget that walking is an excellent way to move some of those pounds; not to mention that you can go online and download all types of exercises.........
