Let's Get Great in 2008

[jawi876 2]

I am a huge anti-athelete. My biggest accomplishment for 2008 is running up and downstairs trying to catch a bus...a train...de next bus...and walking a block and a half to my job...in 18 degree weather with a wind chill of 4 degrees. Then, I repeat this same process going home. Why won't the gas prices drop back down to $1.50? FAAAAAADDDDAAAA!!!!

I guess the good thing is that I will most definitely be in shape for my wedding if I can ever get divorced!

Welcome back Jawi...hope you feel better. 18 degrees in ATL??? Is it normal to be that cold down there? Maybe I should re-think moving down there

Good Morning All,

This is a great thread. I lurk on the Yardie and Stella thread, but haven't posted in almost a year. But, I wanted to get in on this. I am determined to shed at least 40 lbs. by June, when my husband and I are going back to JA to renew our vows (got married June 7, 07 at courthouse, will have ceremony June 7, 08 in Negril on beach with family and friends).

I set my goal in Dec.. At the beginning of every month, I take a picture of myself in a bikini and insert it into a calendar I created in Microsoft publisher, and weigh in every week and document my weight on the calendar. I have a place below my picture to type in how I feel at the beginning of the month. I must admit, I fell victim to the holiday baking, and didn't do so well in December. So, I started fresh for the new year.

I work out at least 6 days a week, for 1 hr. at home. I ordered the Turbo Jam DVD's from an infomercial, and I love it. In addition to the cardio for 40 min., I do at least 20 min of light weights and crunches on my exercise ball. So far, I've only lost 5 lbs. I actually lost more, but gained it back around Christmas and New Years. My big problem is my eating habits. I am a vegetarian, and have been for 26 years, but I eat pasta, rice and bread! So, my challenge is to cut out pasta and bread totally, at least for the next month to see the effect. I drink alot of water (and I squeeze lemon juice in it), at least 48 oz a day.

So, I would like to participate in this thread and encourage and be encouraged. Postive thoughts to all!

Good to see you LovinJA. Great idea about the picture calender

Guys this is the best! Thanks JA TAM! I am in!!!

I haven't posted in awhile but heard about this and decided to post. This was the best idea. We are going back to JA to renew our vows by the end of this year and I need to be at least 50lbs lighter. I have struggled with this all of my life and about 2 years ago I lost 65lbs on the atkins diet. I have sinced then gained 35lbs and realized that I have to learn how to eat. My biggest quest right now is to cut out the meats and add in more veggies. I am just tired of eating meat right now. I won't take fish out but chicken, turkey, and beef is out for now along with white breads, pasta, and fried foods. I know that I can drop this weight I know I can! Its just something about this year. I just want to be a lot healthier.

So count me everyone

"What are you guys weighting for"...This say we should list five reasons why we want to change"

http://health.discovery.com/fansites/dr-pe...eighing-in.html

My five are:

1. HTN an DM run in my family and If I don't lose, I'll end up like my grandmother, mother and my father.

2. I need new clothing and I can't stand to try on "fat girl clothes and anymore"

3. Wanting to be a happier healthier sexier me.

4. With my hubbies hopes of having another baby, I have to lose 30 pounds by summer, before I even think about conceiving

5.Hoping to be able to possibly get into the Airforce.
