Hi all!

I am a 42 with 2 kids (daughter 1 and son 15) and 3 step (27, 24, 20). I am new to message boards so please excuse the longhand. I started an exercise program and food journal last week. Going good so far: starting weight 315.5, current weight 310, goal weight 145. My friends and I are using The Fitness Challenge game to get us started. However friends are not as excited about the idea as I had hoped. Hoping this board will help with movtivation; always nice to know others are also along for the ride. Any advice is greatly welcome.

Jessica

Take care,

Jessica

Hi Wendy

Tomorrow is the end of our second week and I am proud to say that I surpassed our exercise goal for this week. Can you tell I am a competitive person? LOL. The "wager" cards can be a lot of fun and there are blank cards to use if you have your own ideas; which is even better.

Good luck to you!

Jessica

Take care,

Jessica

Hi, Jessica--

Welcome (somewhat belated, but heartfelt)!

It sounds like you're really making progress already, and bringing a lot of determination and creativity to the process. As you've already realized, our weight loss journeys on this board aren't just for a week or two, so the support here is invaluable in keeping up the pace. Hope to see your progress spur us all on...
