we are also tracking in the fan forum... take a peek. i set up a week by week thing.

Hi, I am very interested in following the daybook for this new year. I followed the link from the home page; however, this appears to be last year's link except for your posting. Am I at the right thread?

KD- would you rather we use this or is it OK for us to do the weekly topic thing?

Hi! and Welcome.
The "Baby Steps" thread has a lot of suggestions for getting started and the "Member Introductions" will help you get to know others on the board.
"Baby Steps" stays at the top like this one does but other threads move downwards with amazing speed sometimes, depending on how busy the board gets .
Instead of trying to read them all just scan the thread titles and click on any that sounds interesting to you.
Any if you have a question or need help with a problem just ask and you will get lots of tips and suggestions from others who have as the saying goes "been there/done that"

Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. It seems like everyone has been on the board for awhile now, except me that is. Is the board still very active?

There are a lot of posts here and I honestly don't have time to read each one. Is there any specific ones "Welcome New Member" or any such ones that I can read through to get me started.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kathleen and all,

I'm not sure how to start, but I'd like to join the Cooking Thin Fit Club. I'm willing to buy the book and I have an eager attitude. I also have oh at least 35 lbs to lose. I'd appreciate any support and encouragement I can get. I'm 2 years post partum (though most of my weight came and stayed after delivery)and I'm finally ready to start focusing on myself again, get fit, and feel great.

Good for you girl. You are never "stupid" for doing what's right and good for you. So stop that negative talk and work towards losing that popcycle ")

Have a great evening,
Bonnie

I bought the book this summer....did 7 weeks (5 of them good lost a couple of lbs) and just 'remembered' it was on the shelf when I TIVOed the PBS special. ARG. am i crazy to do this right before Christmas. Anyway- was going to join the biggest loser online but thought- stupid stupid stupid... i don't need to spend the cash. just drag that book out and start tracking. I have all her books (not the new DVD) and just love them. I have a heart problem (congenital) so at the present I don't loose enought weight to burn off a sugar free popsicle...but just walking boosts my mood and helps me so I'm looking forward to starting again...

Hi everyone
amy

Isabel - thanks for the response and the suggestions. I think this is a great approach, and look forward to "meeting" people on the boards.

hi pat, you could re-type the format of the daily entry and give yourself as much space as you need. then photocopy several pages , 3 hole punch them and insert into a binder. I did that because i write big.
It is a great daybook, that is certain. today, i am a bit tired from lack of sleep. when i get this way, i want sweets so i am really trying (like holding on for dear life) not to dive into sugar-pool! one motivation is that i don't want to have to write it in my entry today that i went overboard. my goal is to get more sleep tonight, which is really what my body needs, and start tomorrow more rested and ready to workout in the morning. thanks for listening.

HI. I may have posted this somewhere else, and if I did, sorry.

Anyway, I just got the daybook, and I like it's approach. However, I'm having a problem fitting in all my food in the designated space. It seems odd to me that the space for "What I wish I hadn't" is the same size as for "What I ate". Am I missing something?

TIA

Pat

Welcome, mimofro! This thread doesn't get a lot of activity these days, but feel free to post out on the open board in any open thread (or start your own) so we can get to know you and you can get to know us! The folks here are very friendly and helpful...after all, we're all in the same boat!

HI! I just bought the book tonight and plan on starting tomorrow. I work nights so my schedule is a bit off! I have a video I love working out too and am trying to incorporate more veggies and fruits into my meals. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Hi silvrapril,

I don't look at this thread much... but saw that you are new and wanted to say Hi and Welcome!!!

I am beginning my journey tomorrow. I have all the books and I am ready, in more ways than one. I look forward to the wisdom and support I know I will receive from all of you.

Be sure to explore some of the other stuff on the site too -- there are daily homework threads and there's lots of information and support available.

Welcome!

Thank you. I am encouraged that I have made the most progress in a long time. I appreciate your encouraging words!

Citydweller we all have stress, you can count on this board to help where it can. You will do fine.
