NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - CHECK IN TIME!!
Okay, I've been inspired by Kara's post.
I've gained almost 40 pounds since my wedding!! 
I've been letting my preoccupation with TTC be an excuse to eat whatever I want and not exercise.
It stops today.
If anyone else feels the same way about themselves and wants to lose some weight/get healthier, sign up here.

We'll check in on Thursdays to see how it's going.
Who's with me???

Wow Lauren - this is a great idea -- it's funny because you look like you don't need to lose anything, to me!!
My Overall Weight Loss Goal: 60 lbs.
First Goal: 10% of my weight
Diet Plan: WW Flex Points, no alcohol, no fats, only whole grains -- MORE fruits and veggies!
Excercise Plan: Get a treadmill tonight, start 20 min. sessions 5 days/week

I like the flex plan - it has worked for me in the past, when I really stuck to it.
I lost 30 pounds on it 2 years ago and kept it off until the wedding.

Re: NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
I'm in!
I need the motivation bad - so maybe this will work!! I have gained about 40lbs since I met my DH 3 years ago. It all needs to go!
My Ooverall Weight Loss Goal: 40 lbs (will be happy as long as it is over 30lbs).
Diet Plan - definitely to STOP snacking - that is my biggest problem - the other is to watch my portions. Maybe start WW.
Exercise Plan - go back to the gym and take classes, I think classes are more motivating for me than, the damn machines.
And start taking my dog Casey for walks, either in the morning or at night (would like to get DH to go with me - but I don't think that would happen).
Good Luck to all of us!!!

Weight Watchers really does work. I use the Flex Points and have had success. The most difficult thing for me is that I don't eat enough and you have to use your daily point for maximum success - at least it's that way for me.
Weight Loss Goal - 30lbs although I would really like to lose 50lb but that is impossible.
Diet Plan - Stick to points and continue eating at least 5 serving of veggies and fruits and lots of water
Exercise Plan - Continue to add some weight resistance to daily activities. Join the Y and swim at least 3 times a week in addition to walking.
So far, I have lost 5 lbs.

Re: NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
Kathy WW is great --- look up diets in Consumer Reports!!! It's got the best success rate and keep-off rate. I like it, but sometimes I start to slide - like lately - but now I am back on track.
I am drinking a pitcher of green tea (iced) per day. I've lost 3 lbs. since Tuesday's weigh-in. I am sure cutting out alcohol for me will be a huge factor in my weight loss, since I wasn't metabolizing any of it. I don't snack so much, but I like sweets - so I bought Skinny Cow for desserts, or I make pudding.
Marcie - I take Ebony to the park every day and walk a mile. And I walk him around the block 2 times a day as well. I think this makes me keep going and both he and I enjoy it and get benefits!
Well cheers to all of us!!! Horrayy!!!!

Boosh that is amazing -- care to share any recipes??
I made a great ground turkey mexican lasagna the other day, and will make baked eggplant parm. this afternoon. I've also been having gazpacho before every meal - it's filling and oh-so-good!

Re: NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
I basically make the same foods, just healthier brands. I buy 93% ground meat, no more frying, I bake everything (chicken cutlets)
Here is one tip: Make your dish from the kitchen. Dont put all the food on the table. Take your portion and thats it.
I hate to drink water, so I put lemon in it. There are alot of WW and Skinny Cow ice creams that are low in points.

Re: NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
Awesome idea!
When I went to the RE last week, she said I had to lose weight. Not that I was severly overweight but that it probably had something to do with my irregular cycles. So I have stopped drinking soda, which I know is where MOST of my calories came from. I am trying to cut back mainly but I would really love to start seeing a difference!
We can support each other!!

Re: NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
My friend sees a nutritionist and she has lost a ton of weight and the nutritionist told her to put lemon in her water because someone it speeds up your metabolism!!!

Re: NEW TTC WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
I have WW tonight - will let you know how it goes. 
I am improving my diet every day.
Friday we got a treadmill, and I do about a half hour every day so fare, aside from my 1 mile walk in the park.
MrsMcK - I expect we will meet tonight to walk?
How is everyone else doing??
