I'll lend you all the support I can, Sher. Go, Go, Go!! Faster, Faster, Faster. One more time...

I started a conditioning class with a friend at the local rec center on Monday that will continue twice weekly throughout January. I also purchased an annual membership for use of the gym and swimming pool. A new swimsuit had to be ordered to complete the package (let me tell you, it's not an easy task to find a suit to cover this ol' hen's feathers). I'm hoping that the class will give me a good jump start in getting some semblence of fitness.

I thought no one would ever ask! Count me in. Since being finding out that I have Celiacs I have gained. I need all the support that I can get! I'm planning on signing up at our local hospital's therapy place and going to arobics.

**wallerubw** · January 9th, 2010

I'm in. I weight 160lbs and am 5'0". I want to lose at least 30 lbs. I'll try to be here every Sat. with stats.

**NanaJ** · January 9th, 2010

O.K. here it is. I weigh 212 and need to loose at least 50 lbs. It sure is hard to put this out there for everyone to see but I think that it helps to finally admit it. I'm glad that I have some support. I'll try to post once a week also.

Well... Here is my 2 cents. Everyone is different...different things work for different people. I saw this man on tv earlier this week. It was like a light bulb went on when I heard him speak. His name is Paul MeKenna he is a hypnotherapist. I know right now some of you are rolling your eyes. I would have too if I had not listened to what he had so say in his interview. He has a no food barred approach which got my attention right away ! lol Just hearing him speak it was soooo logical it was like "DUH Angi why didnt you think of this" I went to amazon and researched his book, and read the reviews. I ordered it, I am not saying it will work for everyone but it might be the "ah ha" moment you need as it was for me. I actually started doing his program just from what he said on tv. Now that I have his book I read it in less then 2 hours. Listened to the cd that came with it. I feel amazing already ! I am excited to see where this program takes me. You can read some of his info at www.mckenna.com if you are interested.

Great idea Sher. Two years ago my doc told me to lose 50 cause I had diabetes)new DX). I took of 40 but never got the last ten off. Decided this is the year! I went from 233 to 193..now would like to take off the last 10 and 10 more! I am not worried about being a skinny minny but I want to be healthy. My hubby says, do wante ever I have to do ..just last a long time!

Well, you all just ruined my delicious lunch. I knew I shouldn't have read this while eating. Now I think I will skip the brownie and ice cream. Sher, just take one small meal at a time and exercise in between.

**MrsBuckeye** · January 9th, 2010

Heck Angi - I'll just drive to your place, read the book and listen to your CD !!!!

**Angicrafter** · January 10th, 2010

Come on over Sher ! I think you would really like it

**Anael** · January 13th, 2010

I don't have to lose weight (145 lbs and 5'51") but I don't want to gain weight either.
Angy, I'm going to check out this book and cd.

**Grandma Ria** · January 13th, 2010

Thanks Angie I will have to check it out.
Let us know how you go.
Thanks for sharing Ria

I haven't missed a class and have added a workout every Wednesday between classes. Our class on Monday will be held in the pool.

How is everyone else doing?

**Angicrafter** · January 22nd, 2010

Down 10 pounds so far

**kilroy2730** · January 22nd, 2010

Good job! Keep it up. I don't have the motivation or will power, but I need to find both.

**wallerubw** · January 22nd, 2010

Well, I lost 2 lbs last week. I figure I didn't put it on in a month and I won't lose it in a month either. I have started exercising daily.

Outstanding, Angi. I need to check out that book and CD that you recommended.

**jstitch** · January 22nd, 2010

I've gone down 2 pounds this week.

I seem to fluctuate sooo much! Most of what I need to lose (10 lbs) has been put on by stress, I think. I'm a big stress eater. I'm not hungry, but have to munch. Maybe it's time for some sugar free chewing gum.

La cole, I sure wish I could find a water aerobics class close by where I live. I did that before I had kids, and I sure loved it.
