Hi ladies! I'm joining this group just to feel accountable. This week I will:
1) Keep my calorie limit and if I go over - go to the gym and burn it off.
2) No cheese other then cottage
Doesn't sound like much, I know, but I completely fell off the wagon and have been eating terrible food and not working out.

5. Get my kids laughing at least 3 times/day.
6. Take stuff to Goodwill
7. Get info on elliptical parts and get that mother (me) up and running again.

I just want to thank you all for being here. Just the presence of others helps.
I think it sounds reasonable to lose a pound since Saturday to the person who asked. I don't know what others say. I lost two pounds in two days because it was letting myself go weight and when I got back on track, it dropped. So many things influence weight loss too: water weight, activity, sodium intake, your cycle, etc.
Also I think it is totally legit and necessary in some cases to list non diet and exercise goals. These things can even affect our diet and fitness. For example, when I am not writing, I am most often eating. But even if there are no ties, why not have other goals (if you like)?
Anyway not only am I glad I'm here I'm glad you guys are too. This really does help me! I hope it helps others too!

I'm glad you're here too, it helps me as well.
I had a very calorie heavy fall from grace this past weekend, and I've made myself come here and confess, in hopes that it won't happen again anytime soon.

Welcome hilili. I know I was nervous about posting at first but people are the forums are really supportive.
Good goals, everyone! Good luck! I was proud that I did floor exercises for my back and legs despite a fibro flare! Yay me!
