New Years Day... Resolution....

United States
December 22, 2008 4:41pm CST
I am looking to see how many folks here are going to get on the wagon with me New Years Day. I am going to be getting back to trying to lose weight again.. Maybe we can do our own Biggest loser or something. All I know is that I would like to lose some weight and get healthier.. Anyone else want to join me? Or do we have to force you?/ J/K

well losing weight is one of the resolutions that i'm going to take for this new year and the other resolution would be increasing the tan of my skin, growing long hairs ,dress more sensibly and to stop talking much..these are the most important things that i would like to do in this new year..other than that i also have many more resolutions which i cant be saying over here but if i take them i will really do them.. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Happy Mylotting.

Hi Louise, Forget me starting anything New Years Day as may be hungover and wanting more stodge than usual. Start back at work on the 2nd though so I am not going on a diet as such but will cut out eating jambons which I cannot resist if hot from the oven and made of pastry ham and cheese, yummy, but calorie containing. Good luck with your weight loss challenge. Hope you get a few to participate with you. Seasons Greeeting. Huggles. Ellie :D

I don't usually make new years resolutions. The things I'd like to accomplish are long term goals that I have to work at a little bit at a time, and I shouldn't start working on them during the New Year. If I notice something I need to work on, it should begin today, not in a couple weeks, ya know? Right now I'm not interested in losing weight. I do have some to lose, but I don't like how I am when I'm on a "diet". I don't like restricting what foods I eat, and I do love my junk food. I tend to lose weight in the summer though from all the excersize. I didn't last summer because it was so rainy and yucky I didn't get out much. But once the warm weather hits again, I won't be home very often. I'll be out walking or doing something.

i gotta recommend the weight watchers points plan. Eat whatever you like just learn portion control. I never feel deprived, I never skip foods I love I just learn to keep the portions reasonable and eat more regularly. Drinking water and eating several small meals(especially breakfast) keeps me satisfied through the day, helps my metabolism and I lose weight with little effort. Exercise doesn't hurt and a nice long walk is good for more than the waistline. It gives me time to clear my head, think things through and just let my mind wander in ways I can't normally. It all adds up to being more productive when I'm not walking.

I'm right there with you. I have even built a spreadsheet to keep track of my weight and measurements. I would like to try to lose five pounds a month. And I really need to remove some inches around my waist area. So do you have a plan where we can all help each other keep track of this together. If so, just let me know. I'm going to be walking and swimming and a little weightlifting to try to get there. I'm not very good at the diet thing. LOL

Sounds like a great idea to me! I was just saying after the holidays I am getting back on the treadmill. I lost 15 pounds last year and gained 10 of it back:( I am going to look good in a swimsuit this summer when I go on vacation.

You gotta force me!!! I used to make a resolution EVERY New Years. They were ALWAYS broken by my birthday in February. So I sat myself down & had a LONGGGGG talk with me. We came to the conclusion that the BEST course of action would be to STOP making New Years Resolutions so I could STOP lying to myself!!! Sorry Louise, you're on your own!!!

I'm with you but I can't join the new web site your forming for the team because I can't keep up with the ones I'm already on. You'll have to keep folks updated on my. Of course you also have to quit sabotaging me with snacks and sweets. I've barely lost a pound in the last couple weeks.

Have to keep trying. I have lost some inches, and now my size 1x panty hose are too big, yet according to my scale, I should be wearing the 2x size. I guess I am what you call large boned and muscular. Besides with my diabetes, I have to lose some more. The trouble is that I do not look fat. If I did, I could look in the mirror and say "boy that tummy is sticking out a mile wide," So I guess keeping up the weight loss will be another resolution. Wonder how long it will last?

I think I'm going to make two new year's resolutions. One is that I am going to lose at least two dress sizes this year. I think that is reasonable, and certainly attainable. And if I lose two dress sizes I really won't have far to go in my battle for a healthy body, at least weight wise. And my second resolution is to get closer to God.

That is a great place. I've been a member for a few years. Their recipes really are good, and the exercise they describe seem somewhat easy.

Count me in. My New Years resolution for the last ten years has been to lose 20 lbs. This year is a little bit different. Now I have to lose 30. I'd love to be a part of the group.

I am definitely interested in this program and think its great that you started it as we all could use all the support we can get. Weight loss is such a difficult task in so many different ways and knowing we have friends here for support is priceless. I need to lose quite a bit, as Im considered morbidly obese, so I have a long way to go, but Im looking forward to conversing with others to discuss everything from our successes to our weaknesses. Thanks for letting me know about this.

I admire your courage to speak out. I'd love to lose weight too, but always keep silent to myself, hence, often leading to nothing positive. I am suffering from high blood pressure, and was asvised that weight is related to that. To lose weight, you need not only to be strict on what you eat, but also on exercises you take. Without enough food, you do not have the energy to exercise. Take only the health friendly food, sometimes difficult though. You look very beautiful. Cheer up, with slimming plan gradually fufilled, you are sure to be admired by all.
