Committed to One Another

Group Name:	Committed to One Another
Members:	4
Location:	Anywhere

Goals:

This group is only for people who have made the decision to be consistent and will follow through on making the actual behavior changes essential for weight loss and weight maintenance. These behavior changes include, first and foremost, daily logging food and exercise, and posting comments, all done a minimum of 5 days a week, with the intention to follow through with these behaviors on a daily basis whenever possible. We make mistakes, and forgive ourselves immediately when we do. Are you ready for success?

Profile:

Logging and posting nearly every day because that's what works for us, we are long-time PT members, over 55, committed to ourselves and to one another for continual self-care, maintenance of weight loss already achieved and some additional "fine tuning" weight loss. Mutual support, transparency and trust will characterize our postings. We log and post nearly every day because that's what works for us. If you're not ready to make the active, actual behavior changes essential for weight loss/maintenance, please reconsider joining this particular group.

I am 53 y/o and parent of one very athletic child. I am a working professional and have to juggle family, work, church. I have backslid a lot due to injuries but now need to get back to where I was. PERSONAL MOTTO: Based on my results, how hard am I working for what I want?

I am 41 years old now.. I have accomplished alot on this journey.. I started out at 370 pounds.. Im still a work in progress but have released almost a whole person In 2010 I lost my dad to cancer from smoking and I let my life go. along with taking care of my disabled mom wheelchair bound now. so alot of hurdles to overcome. well enough of letting my life go. its time to take it back and thats what I am doing this new year.. alot of changes to come. my life is still unwritten. and im writing it this year!..

My starting weight on PT was 155 pounds at age 59. I'm now 62, 5'3-1/4", weigh 134.6 pounds, which is up ten pounds from my lowest weight on PT, have gone from a waist size of 37" to 30", and back up to 32", and from size 10 to size 2, and back up to size 4-6, have gone back to school recently, have 5 adult children and 5 grandchildren, none of whom live near me. I'm a volunteer chaplain in a local hospital, an ombudsman in local care facilities, just started a listening ministry to men in the secure housing unit at a super-max state prison 100 miles from my home, am active in a small church so always tons to do there, and am exploring a vocation in ordained ministry, which involves going to a school in Berkeley, CA, 250 miles from home, every three weeks, with tons of homework in between school weekends. I belong to a senior hiking group--we hike about 5-15 miles every Friday. I also belong to a gym where I take yoga three times a week and do weight training twice a week. I also take (almost) daily walks and hop on my spin cycle every day while watching old movies.

I am 64 and retired from a very stressful job. My life is complicated and the decision to make a change began with leaving work. I am making healthy changes in my life by tackling one challenge at a time. Joining this PT is the second most important change I have made. I have a habit of not following through or "cheating". This Cheat System has served me very well because it gives me the freedom to embrace my current challenge..to over come cheating by embracing it!
