Ok, I so have no idea what I'm doing, so bare with me.

-- How much weight do you want to lose? A total of 100# in 20-25# increments

-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? I'd like to have it gone in a year.

-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)? I'd like to eat things that are better for me & less of it. Joel has been begging me to go to the gym with him, so maybe I'll finally give in. lol

-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal? Definitely my hubby.

-- How realistic is your goal? It's a real possibility to lose that much weight in that timeframe; however, I've never stuck with anything long enough to find out... until now!!!!

-- When will you start? I plan to start on Tuesday. Tomorrow is MLK, Jr. Day, which means it's a day off & I'll be way off schedule.

It all sounds good and looks good written down, now ya just gotta do it...If you want it badly enough you will get it and get there...Welcome aboard, these diaries are great to have...

I'm glad you joined up here - even if it is just to keep an eye on me I'm not really a troublemaker -I just play one on forums

Have fun going to the gym - make it like a strange date night - and enjoy each other's company - child free...

Good luck on your journey and can't wait to hear more from you

Welcome MFGT! Just as cinderelly says... its all written down, now you just gotta do it!

I am off work today too, MLKJ Day ... You should take advantage of it and hit the gym anyhoo....

A strange date indeed... lol It won't be child-free, though, and that's the problem. ha ha.

Oh lol, not child free to go to the gym ??? You have one old enough to go work out or is it called daycare in the gym...LOL...I hope you have a good day today!!!

Give the youngin' a shot or two of whiskey and lock it in the trunk of the car - it'll be fine (Yes, I'm aware that it is a good thing that I can't have children

Hi! (Note to self, and wife: Do not let Mal babysit.)

hey someone has to teach children about the finer points in life - like a good single malt I'd be the awesomely cool babysitter

I read this and hear Dari in my head saying *OH* LOL...I cant spell it is looses its effect, LOL...Cool babysitter indeed not till they are older...LOL

Nope. He just hangs out with us. Which is one reason why I haven't been yet. It's a college rec center, so it's fine if he is there with us. But yeah. It makes it kind of hard to work out when you have a 3 yo to worry about.

Ummmmmm..... yeah. Ditto Joel.

Tell me abt it, mines is 2.5 most of what I do is from home with her under foot...LOL...Have a good day, I am off to work!!!

OK - so you guys might have to alternate going to the gym time...bob and I used to do that - he'd go see a movie, come home then I'd go see it - it was ALMOST like going together

Hello MFG!

Glad your onboard w/ us!

Good luck w/ your goals hun...you can do it!!!

(ps..i won't let Mal babysit either...love ya Mal! lol)
