Went once myself. The peer pressure is very effective. I made my taget goal and then quit. Didn't maintain the weight but if you did not quit, I'm sure that would be helpful in the maintenance phase as well.

I hear your sweet voice calling

Deceptively Yours

I went for my first weigh in this past Wednesday... and in my first week I lost 6.8 pounds Needless to say I was very pleased... tho I have continuously reminded myself since that it was a fluke... and at most I can hope for is 2 a week... and sometimes may not lose any... but it certainly was a nice boost to lose that much in one week...

Not sure if any of you read the Jan 9th issue of People Magazine... if you did.. you would have read about 10 average people who lost LOTS... a few of them lost more than 300 pounds... each did it the old fashion way.. exercise.. portion control.. etc.... all inspirational...

Anyway... those pages.. I ripped out of the magazine... and they are posted all over my cubical at work...

Anyway... I will try to check in again.. next week Hugs to all!!

Great loss Jenna! Are you following the CORE or FLEX plan?

I am using the core plan... sensible... without HAVING to weigh and measure... just eating what is GOOD for me I attended my 3rd meeting last nite... lost another .6 bringing my total so far to 7.4 Tis only the beginning but it is a start I know that this is more about a lifestyle change than it is anything else...

I am changing....

Hugs to all..

Grats Jenna. I loved the old you and will love the you, you become as well ((hugs))
