Anyone want to join me?????

YES .... this Friday the 3rd, we will make the start/the commitment to get on track. Also to help each other along the way. Mary

Count me in!!! Friday accountability days work great for me also. I'll be leaving Sunday for San Antonio for a week (for work) but I believe I'll have my laptop with me, so I should be good to go for next Friday also. Should get alot of exercise in that week walking the Riverwalk. Yea!!!! I'm so excited!!!! Wanda

Wanda, GREAT .... We aren't going to be strict on the rules ... very flexible. So if you can't post on a Friday, it's not a problem. Just post when you can. Mary

fridays arent always the best days for me b/c I have clinical for school from 7-3 but I guess I can chime in at the end of the day when I get home!!! YIPPIE!! PS- so glad this board has stayed so active!! sarah

Sarah, No exact time of day to post etc. Again, we will be really flexible, no real rules. Even posting over the weekend or on Monday will be fine. I want everyone that wants to participate to be able to. Mary

Although I'm a bit tardy in replying, I'm really in need ot this! I'd really like to participate! Count me in! I went to my 2 year follow up appointment, and had gained 10 pounds since my 18 month appointment! THat really had me worried (and my doctor!), and I know I hadn't been exercising and really hadn't been watching, but I've got to get that under control! I've been working out at the gym 4-6 days a week and increasing the water, cutting caffeine (except for a partial cup of coffee at home and on the way to work each morning), and upping my protein majorly. I've tried to cut most of my carbs again, and really hadn't realized how much of them I had been 'picking at'. I really need this right now! Help!

Michelle, Never to late to join in. You are more than welcome to participate. Did you know that carbs can cause the body to retain fluids? If you go to a high protein/low carb eating plan, I bet the 10 lbs will drop off quickly. Caffeine can increase your appetite and also irritate the tummy plus deplete much needed calcium from our systems. Sounds like you are doing well in cutting back on it. Good for you, that is great.
