Just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Mary Jean 51 years young, married for almost 23 years. Bob and I have no kids unless you count the furbabies...then I have 6...golden retrievers.
I need to lose weight...I've always had trouble with my weight...lol...maybe that had a little to do with being a bakery manager for 23 years...at least thats what I'm blaming it on!!!! So anyway...I retired last April...and the weight is not coming off... I finally realized that I need to get up and do something about it!
I'm not a water drinker...but have worked my way up to 6 glasses per day since I joined this group... I was a diet coke drinker...but have dropped from 4 or 5 a day to one. I also started going back to curves...made it there 3 times this week!
Hubby and I are working on the reward system...rather than cartridges I am wanting to redo my scraproom so I want to lose for things for my room! When we figure out the system I'll let you know so you can cheer me on!

Hi Mary Jean, well done on cutting back on the fizzies, that is something I am struggling with. I can drink 2litres of diet coke in one afternoon. Not healthy for the old intenstines I'm sure.
Good to know you!! I think your reward system is great! I might change mine from cartridges to shopping sprees. I really need some clothes but I am not willing to buy something that I hope is too big for me soon.
Welcome Mary Jean,
When I first started switching to water I had to drink it very cold...Now I am up to at least 10 cups a day. I had to cut out any caffienated soda all together(the intestine thing you mentioned) You can do it!
Hi Mary Jean. I am with you on the sodas. I could easily drink 4 or 5 a day. I have cut down to one a day, and I have noticed that I have not been finishing it. I try hard to carry around my 1 liter bottle of water.
