Day One

Hello there.  I've been around for a while and have seen many of my OH friends join this group just recently.  I read up on you all and I'm very excited to now be a part of it.  I started today and have decided to state my goals:

Water - DRINK IT!  It's not just for bathing anymore!
Gym - I was going 5 days a week, the last two weeks I haven't been there for a total of 5 days.  I'm back tonight.  I need to get my running in and then do a water aerobics class. 
Attitude - Positive thoughts and trust in myself.  I know I can do this and I will not let myself slip away. 

I am so excited to be a part of this community.  Thank you in advance for being here. 

Melissa

 Hi Melissa,

Today is day 3 for me.  Taking it one day at a time.  I love your positive attitude.  It will get you through.  Keep up the good work and if we only take baby steps to goal it's still moving toward it and WE WILL GET THERE.

Thanks, yep one day at a time!  We can do this!

Welcome Melissa and what a beautiful smille  you have

We are here to help you all the way to your goals....

Go Melissa 

Thanks for the compliment Kathy.  I remember you from the IL forum.  I got off track with that group and see that there was just a get together in Rockford, that's right in my backyard!  I get to Plainfield occasionally as we have some friends there.  Sorry to hear your year has been rough.  Here's hoping the new year brings good things and blessed events!

Hi Melissa,

I'm glad you joined us.  This group comprises of all of us doing this together.  I hope you'll feel like you belong and hang out as one of your OH "homes."

I love your water commitment - It's not just for bathing anymore!  LOL!

I also love your atttude commitment.  It's a great one.  I was an interview with Oprah about her weight regain.  She said something that was pretty persuasive.  She talked about not letting the fat win.  I'm thinking I don't want to let the sugar, grazing (you fill in your own stuff) win.  We are stronger than anything that can happen to us to cause us to self-medicate with food.

I'm so happy you're here.

Cathy
