Are there others ?? - 6/25/2006 9:48:55 PM

Ok, i am on a slight mission... i am bound and determined to lose set amount of weight by christmas day. That gives me 6 months from today to lose the desired amount of weight. YAY!!

This, however, is my thought. i am pretty sure that there are more of us out there who also have the same desire to lose the weight, and probably would find it much easier to do, if there were someone to hold us accountable, and someone to share experiences with, and get some extra support. Master supports me 100% in this endeavor and is cheering me on, however, it's nice to have someone that is going through the painstaking process along side of you.

i spoke to Master about possibly starting a yahoo group or even a MSN group for people that have wanted to jump on the scales and watch the pounds fall away, but didn't really have any one to push them along. He thought it was a good idea...

So here i am.. asking if there would be anyone interested in such a thing, and if so... please feel free to email me on the other side.. if we get enough people interested and stuff, then i shall jump on that. If not, then me having at least ONE accountability partner would be great too... that can share in the journey with me...

Hope to hear from someone soon :)

Well, if it gets off the ground I am in. I have a personal mission myself, to make it into a single digit size (tmieframe nonwithstanding). I am doing a descent job on my own, but im sure someone raising an eyebrow at me when I slip up might help. Heaven knows my pets wouldnt dare remind me I was watching my wieght. Actually, they arent sure why, they just cant understand the personal triumph of loose fitting clothes *chuckle*
So, with that said... I'm on :)

They're a lovely group. I know they'd make you welcome.

At any rate, good luck in this, and if you start a group of your own, please let us all know.

i'm in, i know i need to lose a fair amount of weight as well, i have no real particular timeline i would just like to start losing weight and being healthier in general. Support is always good and i would be game to support you guys and gain support from you as well. Always better to do things with friends than alone anyhow.

So yeah, i'm in :-D

I don't even own a scale. LOL. Probably never will. But I'm bound and determined to lose some weight soon.

I'll make you deal. As soon as I have this baby (six weeks), and I heal up a bit, I'll jump on the wagon. It's not so much to lose weight as it is that I want to feel better. I've been swimming during pregnancy to keep some weight off and keep in shape, but it's not enough. (I'm a damned good swimmer. I can outrace anyone I've ever met, and that includes while I'm pregnant. LOL.)

So if you're interested, feel free to mail me, and I'll be a sympathetic exercise buddy... as long as you don't make me run.

Say Beth....

After reading your post.... I have total confidence in you that you'll accomplish your goal. Just remember to do it for yourself and no one else.

I told myself and a few buds back in late January, that I wanted to be able to touch the 400 lbs mark with the BP by this next Christmas {Without using illegal supplements} - That goal stays with every single day and I'll never quit till I make it.

Thank You, Utopian Sir, for Your kind words of encouragement.

i think i will use that very quote for our group... maybe everyone will post it on thier fridges.. and remember it ...

Thank You again....

Oh, btw... This is a change that i desire to make for myself... Master is proud of me, no matter what.. however, i am at the happiest point in my life, as i was telling someone else, tonight... so, i feel like my outside should reflect my inside... i gained most of this weight from pure laziness and depression... Granted having four children in five years, really didn't help matters.. but, it's time to take back the reigns and take control of this part of my life.. This isn't something that Master can do for me.. ( LOL ) i must make this move on my own...

Hitting that plateau sucks. I'm there right now, myself. I've just started aquafit and I hope that'll help, although lately I don't think i've been eating as healthy as I was. Time to get serious again.

Can't wait to hear what Candle has come up with for the name.

For those of you not loosing pychical pounds try checking measurements. Weight can stay the same I fluctuate madly between 299 and 294, but measurements won't. I have constantly and consistently been a 57 55 60
