Thread: February 2013 Weight Loss Adventure with a Prize

OK I'm in too! Just weighed this morning for the first time in a long time! ugh!!!!!!!!!! way more than I should be or wanna be! Time to get motivated and make some changes! Hopefully y'all can keep me pumped up about sheding these unwanted unneeded pounds. I wasn't looking for this thread so I figure Fate stepped in an popped this thread up first today!
Sending info now!

I'm in again. I still need to weigh in for last month. I know I am down but not sure how much.

I've signed up again. Guess you're stuck with me for your Taboo Tuesday hints. And, if you have anything you'd like me to post on Tuesdays, give me a PM with it. I know there are other ideas out there that I haven't thought of. Healthy eating everyone.

I am down a good amount for January:-) Not enough to win, but down is down:-). My school had a 2 hour delay today due to snow and ice. So I have a little time to relax before work. Healthy eating to everyone. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Drink your water. That is something I need to work on. I have a hard time getting my water in during the day. Due to the kids I work with and the set up of the classroom if I want a drink I need to leave my kid I am working with, and my drink is behind a gate and on top of a cabinet. Some days I go until lunch without drinking. I know I need to work on this.

I detoxed from sugar the first week and had a terrible headache. I finally got over it, and I'm doing okay now. I'm looking forward to all the input here on this board. We can do this!

If i can be nosey, what weight loss program did you join? That is great to lose 12lbs and 14 inches in one month. I know I have been told to drink 50% of my weight in water to lose weight. IF I stick to that, I have been succussful in losing some weight. I know for my health sake I need to cut out as much sugar as possible. I just can't seem to drink my tea unsweetened. I am trying, I do use splenda now in my tea instead of regular sugar, but lately I have been hearing alot about the artificial sweetners being worse for you than regular sugar.

I am trying to stay away from sodas, I have not had one at work for 2 weeks, only a sprite at home. As soon as they are gone I wont buy any more. For that I only have me to blame.
