Are You Ready to Lose Weight?


Losing weight is a life change, plain and simple. Your success depends on how ready you are to take on the challenge.


Successful dieters break down their goals into incremental stages, with mini rewards along the way. Being too detailed or having an all-or-nothing approach is a recipe for disaster. Fall off the wagon and you're likely to throw up your arms in defeat. Likewise, being too vague will leave you stranded and unfocused.


Let's talk about our goals.  For some that might mean a number on the scale or inches lost.  For others it could be about challenging yourself to set an exercise or fitness goal.  Still others might want to commit to making small changes in their current lifestyle that might be holding them back from getting to the finish line. 


We've got 6 weeks until Memorial Day.  Together we can do it!

Man, am I IN on this challenge -- I'll turn 42 on May 30th, so it's a perfect timeline to firm up before my birthday.

My goal is to be on this Board daily -- it's simply a necessity for me to stay on track. I think it's sort of like meditation for me, a period of time when I concentrate solely on South Beach and my health & fitness goals. So I'm re-committing myself to posting on the Board regularly.

Another goal is to up the exercise quotient, which has slipped down to just playing tennis once or twice a week, I'm sad to say. Curves, a treadmill and a myriad of exercise videos need to be dusted off (can I dust off a whole Curves building???)

Thanks for the inspiration, Cathy -- once again you are my Rock of Love (when it comes to South Beach, that is... hmmm, maybe I should call you my Rock of Veggies, LOL!!!)
