I have been fighting the battle of the buldge...

I had gained about 10 lbs. in the last year.. and my new year's resolution was to join the gym and lose some girth....

I took a chance this morning.... and tried on my "goal jeans"... and guess what??.. They fit... still a little snug... but not constricting!!!

I am so elated.. and can't wait to hit the gym later this evening!!!

Anyone else on UM stuck to their New Year's resolution and have gotten good resutls???

Oh.. I am still too chicken to step on a scale... I plan to weigh myself at the end of February... I hope to have shed at least the 10 lbs. I had gained... and then proceed to lose about 10 more...

Don't go by a number on a scale.
Rather go by what you are comfortable with.

Congratulations Nxt2Hvn keep up the work outs!
I managed to quit smoking Dec 1 and have not killed nor maimed anyone thank God! Now I have gained a few pounds so that will be my next mission.
Irish

That's great, Nxt2Hvn . . Congratulations!!

I never make New Year's Resolutions, I just live 'one day at a time'!

Alright Nxt!!!!

I've lost 7 lbs. of my 12 lbs. goal.

The other New Years resolution is to have our guest house ready for guests by May 1st. It's behind schedule, but still pretty much on track which is why I've lost the 7 lbs.

Irish is a better man that I to have quit smoking. Maybe that will be next years for me.

Congrats Irish!!!

Hurrah! My resolution was to gain 10 pounds...I'm 5'11 and used to way 145...I was way 'too' skinny.

Now thats something I need to do! Tried an failed about 4 times....average of 5 months stop time....I will succeed one day!

You suck...oops, Nadal...I mean...

Kidding, I was too skinny for a long time too and then all of a sudden I ballooned. For about a year I felt like a cow because I gained that little bit of weight. Take advantage of it while you can, it sneaks up on you as you get older.

Until I was 25, I weighed 165.
At 44 I have now been as high as 230, but now down to 200. I'm 6'1"

Well, 200 is a healthy weight at the heigth of 6'1". But, 165 is underweight actually for 6'1" I feel real fat compared to you

Way to go irish i quit 5 years ago!!!! Do not go back okay!!!! In my case i put on 15 pounds overnite i literally woke up 15 pounds heavier and it is the best 15 pounds i was always so skinny and now i have curves and it went to all the right places.


Way to go Hvn Your trying to get it off and have and i'm trying to keep it on funny the way things work out.

WTG Nxt2Hvn! One of these days I'll think about quitting smoking...

Know how you felt hunnie...I've lost 9lbs in 5 weeks...not bad going seeing as I was on holiday last week and ate loads of chips...keep going hun...when you feel you are there(to what you feel comfortable being)you will know.

My waist circumference used to be the same as my 11-year-old sister's..... It was during a week when I was really sick and couldn't eat.

I'm still attempting to put on weight now. O_O

Congrats!! Keep up the good work everyone!
