Who's IN? Let's revamp!

If we can focus on those three things plus anything else you want to throw in, I think that it may help us out - being accountable to one another somewhat, because we truly need to have an outlet and people that won't judge us, that are in the same position and that can sympathize yet at the same time give it to us straight! Lastly, I think it may be very helpful if we try to RESPOND to those that post, giving our attention to their difficulties and their accomplishments - it is so nice when someone responds to your post as I feel it makes us feel someone cares to take the time to do so! Just an idea...you can throw it back at me or maybe add some of your own ideas, I would just really enjoy seeing this forum expand within as there are so many of us that fit into it's category. For me, this is the first place I look when I sign in as it is what I am OVERWEIGHT and OBESE, then I utilize the other forums to learn what others are doing that works for them! Well.....what do you think? Please post and let me know and maybe we can put a post in once a week at the General forums inviting others to join us! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL *When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. *The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

I know that since things have kinda fallen apart I have not been working out as regularly or watching what I am eating quite as closely. The accountability is something we all need to succeed. I am first in line for this one!!

I am certainly overweight, myself, but there is so much involved with a unhealthy lifestyle that I believe some may flock here to be able to gain support and share their accomplishments even though they may not at the moment be overweight but are still struggling with the whole change of lifestyle and not wanting to find themselves falling back to bad habits. We can learn from one another and that is what I enjoy about being here Mondays and in-between! Glad to have you! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL *When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. *The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
