Checking In

Oops been a week.

Any way, I was real sick. I don't know what it is. But, I think I'm about to get over it.

Last night the chat went GREAT, had 8 people show up! I am so hoping it will start getting to be really a habit of our group. I think it will be real encouraging.

I've decided that we are going to see if we can get some buddy system going, so each member who is trying to lose weight has a personal buddy to encourage them and keep them going on.

I had gained a little. But, now I think I lost that little gain. (I'm a compulsive weigher) So I think I've broke a little plateau I was having. Or at least I hope so. Awe well, with my little increase of exercise each month, I will be increasing my exercise on the 5th so I know that will help.

I joined my groups monthly challenge this month. And I think that will help me too.

I just love how my group is getting more serious about losing weight and getting healthy. And I've been really trying to brain storm ideas on ways to really keep us focused and help us even more. And using peoples suggestions that they turn in. And I think the combination of all this is really helping. At least it's helping me.

Well, got to go shopping today. Will try to update more later.

Weigh In ~ Dr. Phil

Current Weight: 227

I've bought Dr. Phil's book on weight loss, and I think if I apply his recommendations it could really help. I'm still doing Richard Simmons plan though. Just using Dr. Phil's head stuff.
