So I guess it's a good time to introduce myself.

I've started a blog (On the road to being fit...again.) which I hope will help keep me on track

I haven't booked an appointment yet because we're going away for the entire month of July and I'm looking at the calendar for August but hopefully it will be the second week of August.

I'm hoping to lose 140lbs and stay healthy and happy for myself, my hubby and most of all my daughter. I don't want her to lose her mummy before she's even a teenager.

Thanks for reading

:thumbup:

cheers

Just wanted to welcome you! I looked at your goal and I will tell you goals are great for keeping on track but if you set them high and don't allow enough time to reach them it could set you up for failure. It could be done I suppose but expecting a 140lb loss by New years and you haven't been banded yet is pretty harse. I'm not trying to discourage you I wish you all the best and am glad you are joining us but don't want to see a post from you in the near future about how the band isn't working. We see that way too often Maybe you could just give yourself a little more time on that goal and set a mini goal for New Years like say half of that. That would be totaly doable and will make you feel great when you hit it. Anyway I hope I don't sound to negitive because that's surely not my intentions. The band is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I'm sure you'll do fantastic. Welcome and hope to see a lot more post from you on your progress.

ohhhh no - not THIS new years.

we are planning a 2011 New Years cruise not 2010.

goodness i wouldn't even think 70lbs is doable for this new years.

plus 140 is my total goal. i don't actually have a goal for the new years cruise.

as long as i keep losing i'll be happy and when i reach 165-175 i'll buy new clothes as my reward.

used to be a treat of the candy kind - guess i'm learning :thumbup:

thanks for your concern though i should have made myself more clear.

I'm still confused, We already had New Years 2010 the Next New Years is New Years 2011 which is 6mo. from now right? Do you mean 2012?

The cruise sails Dec 28 2011 returns Jan 2

Sooooo ok new years 2012.

OK I'm slow,:thumbup: Well that's doable so just ignore my prior post except for the Welcome part!!

LOL

it's ok - i've been calling it the 2011 new years cruise because we leave in 2011 so i'm the one who's being confusing
