*POWER* IT UP IN JANUARY!!
I am soo excited about the NEW YEAR! Kind of glad to have the holidays behind me, so I can focus better.
I joined here at the end of September ‘08. Honestly, I am not impressed with the weight loss to date. Thirteen pounds. While it is better than a poke in the eye…I know I could have done better. This is ok though….In the beginning, I tackeled the eating, and gained control of that. I then increased water intake, and now drink 90+ oz daily. It has become an obsession! (thanks Nancy) I have a full water bottle with me at all times. Love it! The exercise has been an issue for me. I started doing really well with it, and then it fizzeled during the week of Christmas. Since then, it has been hard to remotivate myself. I am getting back in the swing of it though. It has been difficult at times….depressing, happy, etc…what a ride. But, oh so worth it!
Being on Buddyslim has been sooo helpful for me this time. I know I would not have continued, if I didn’t have this wonderful community of likeminded people. It is sooo insightful to read what other people are going through, and how they are being successful. Plus the support is awesome. Buddyslim is now my guilty little pleasure!!! hehe!
I want to make January my power month. I WANT and NEED to see results!!!! I am fully aware that this will not happen overnight…..just want to see some progress of my weight ticker MOVE to the right!! I don’t want to end this month thinking…..”I could have done better, or more”. I know the only way for this to happen is to put all of the processes in place. I am gonna do it. I appreciate the support from all of you, and invite you in turn to join me….POWER IT UP IN JANUARY!!!!
HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!
It ate my comment.
You know, I signed off BUTTTTTTTTTTT saw a blog from my buddy so I signed right back on.
HAHA - I love the better then a poke in the eye analysis. Hey, do you know how much fat 13 lbs looks like????? Better be proud because I am!!!!!
You are very welcome! I’m so glad you increased your water. Oh, I took your advice too! Almost back to my old self as well so water is back ON!
GIRL I WILL POWER IT UP WITH YOU!!!!!! LET’S DO IT!!!!
Should we start a new challenge in the WC forum??????

YES!!!!! I think a challenge is just what I need!!! I am game, and READY!!!!
*Thanks Nancy!

Congratulations on losing the 13 pounds! That is a hugh accomplishment. It takes time, but the longer it takes, the longer you will keep it off. The downside is that the older you are, the harder it is to get the weight off. We have so much time ahead of us. Stay focused. I fell off the wagon, and I have recommitted myself to this. We will get to our ideal weight. Keep the Faith!

i think i’ve kind of fizzled out. My scale hasnt moved much in a good direction in a while..sighs. Yeah, I lost the two pounds I gained..but big deal. Cheerful little critter tonight huh. Let me know if you and Nancy come up with something on powering it up in January…I need something too! Love Debbie
I am so with you buddy, I am ready to be motivated to make more changes and get off my booty and make it smaller! We will do it. We have to! I too love your reference to the 13 pounds being better than a poke in the eye LOL. It is also better than gaining 13 pounds sweetie! U R a great Buddy and I am happy to have met you on here! This is OUR year, let’s get to it!!!
Hey I think 13 pounds is great. The month of November I only lost 3 pounds, I guess sometimes it’s just like that. I agree, we need to kick it up this month and loose some weight!
Thirteen pounds is GREAT!!! And I LOVE the idea of POWER UP JANUARY…..GO GO GO GO GO!
Lets do it. I just posted my latest pic and I see a big difference. I am really up for a big weight loss month!
Thanks so much everyone!!!
Really appreciate the support!!
hey girl!!! lets do this!! we can make this amazing journey work!
Thanks Bobbi!!!
A power month, I like that! I feel like going to work out now
I’m grateful I found this site too.
Great blog!
Yep, lets power it up and get moving!
I think because truly there are so many things that are involved in our weight loss success, that it takes time to work through each thing…some taking longer than others. Eventually, all combined lessons learned will result in reaching our goal. You CAN and WILL do this! POWER IT UP BABY!!
What an inspiration you are!! Congrats on the 13 pounds. I think finding this site is what will get me through. People like you inspire and are full of ‘go get them attitude” You rock!! Let this be the month for you!!
Thanks again everyone for the love and support! FYI…have added a jump rope challenge for the month of January! Doesn’t that sound like fun??!! Hope you will join me!!
Love to all!

I want to power it up too! I am gonna buy a jumprope this week!
O O I think I need to do the water challange this
And Awsome job with the 13 pounds, that is great.
I know it can be hard gettin back into the swing of things this summer I was walking quite a bit then when winter hit I stopped, I just got back into exercising tonight. It can be hard to get back on but YOU CAN DO!! YOU KNOW YOU CAN AND SO DO WE!
