My first weigh in - 155.8, sniff. One year I'd like to have a new year's resolution that didn't involve eating habits or weight loss!!

[bonniekate]

1/4/07 day one weigh-in: 140.0 on the nose!

I gave myself permission to really enjoy the holidays (and gained!) but now it's time to get back on track. This challenge is also a good way to get me out of my lurkdom.

Welcome, BK!

I just might have to break down and get a scale. Once again, there was a room full of people hanging out near the scale at work, and now I've had a huge mug of tea, so I'm not going near the scale.

Me too! That's my goal for 2008...to NOT have a similar 2009 resolution!

It's possible!

I made a resolution in 2004, and "managing weight" is no longer an issue in my life.

What worked for me? I made the decision to lose weight by making changes that I was willing to commit to for the rest of my life. For me, that meant that I lost weight slowly. More slowly than my friends that started diets in 2004 at the same time. But I'm still a size 4, and my dieting friends have gone round and round losing the same 20/30 pounds & gaining it back. It happened so slowly, and I was so committed and unresentful of the changes that I made, that my friends actually talk like I'm now just a naturally skinny person.

Anyway, just wanted to encourage everyone to believe that it is possible to get a handle on your weight in a way that you can live with long term, and leave this area behind as "a problem" for good.
