Hi everyone! Well, I'm starting a fresh journal today. Thank you to everybody that responded on my last journal, your advice and encouragement means alot to me. Due to personal reasons I had to delete that old thread and start a new one.

Isn't that what everyday is about though, starting over? Every morning you wake up you get a fresh start. Yesterday is gone, you can't go back and change anything that happened but you can start over today. Today I will eat right, I've already exercised with Bob

and I will focus on what I need in my life and what makes me happy.

Today is the big weigh in day for me!!

This morning I weigh in at work for our weight loss competition and this evening I weigh in at TOPS. Wish me luck!!! I know I've lost a few lbs., just not sure how much. My guess is I'll weigh 168 or 169. Whichever, I'll take it!! It will be so awesome to be out of the 170's. My clothes are getting bigger, I can't wait to go shopping!!

I hope everybody has a great day. Stay focused on your goals. You can do it!!!

Best wishes to you as you weigh in! You are right...we all need to start each day as a new day. Forget about what happened yesterday and focus on today. Keep it up!

Thanks!! Well, there are 4 people per team. So far, on my team I lost 5.6, another girl lost 2, another one gained 2 because she's been on steroids and the last one hasn't weighed in yet. So, we really didn't do that great.

I heard one team lost 18 lbs all together and then 1 girl by herself lost 12 lbs!!

Hey Susie,

Congratulations on the weight loss!! What a great way to start your weight loss week. You must be psyched. Glad to see you are back on the boards.

Dont worry about the other teams losing more. I'd trade $250,000 just to get my new body, and my life back. I cant wait to see what you do next week!
So you are 166 now? Is that with or without clothes added in? If the clothes are in there, you weigh less!!

Thanks!! That's with the lightest clothes I could find to put on this morning, but no shoes.

I'm with you, I don't really care about the competition. The weight loss and feeling better is reward enough.
