March 12 Weigh in

Hello dear family...this is to publicize that I now weigh 155, a drop of 7 pounds, a total of 12 pounds. Now I realize that any weight I lose from my surgery won't count., but I would like to ask permission to post my final March weight loss on March 28th before going into surgery. I am hoping the doctor will tell me the weight on any fat that he lipos or cuts off :)...Love Auntie Margie

Blog Participation

hey everyone!!! we hope the weight loss plans have been initiated and results have been successful so far!! the question is...are you sticking to it??? personally I've noticed a lack of will power on my part....hopefully you all are doing better than I am!!! Now, about blog participation. At least leave comments people!!! let us know you're are out there and are still striving to achieve your goal!!!! only a few more days til the first weigh in!!! are you ready??? no super bowl binging allowed!!!!

Remember....

This purpose of this competition is to help promote a lifestyle change. Please strive to lose weight in a healthy way that will be something you can feasibly do for the rest of your life. Starving yourself for 5 months in order to lose the weight and win the prize is NOT HEALTHY!!!!! PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!!!! Instead cut portion size or eat small meals 5 times a day. Don't cut every type of food you love out of your diet, that is not realistic. Allow yourself a treat now and then so you don't binge and completely fall off the weight loss wagon. If you are craving chocolate, eat a mini snickers, not a whole bar!!!

Progress...

We have reports of people losing between 2 and 6 pounds already!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!!

Healthy Tip of the Day!!!

*** A tip for today: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, don't skip it!!!!

If you are rushed in the morning, grab some fruit (orange, apple, banana), yogurt, and a baggie of cereal (Special K is a good brand) to eat while you are at work!! That way you won't be tempted to overeat at lunch!!
