Greetings from rainy New Hampshire

[TONSofFUN]

Good morning everyone.
I'm excited to be here this morning!
I have been on Induction since Monday morning. I had done Atkins a couple of years ago and lost 40 pounds. I have since then gained 30 of them back. It's time that I get my butt in gear and do this again.
I weigh 280 right now, my goal is around 170-180. Ok, my FIRST goal is to get UNDER 250, haven't been there in YEARS!
On Monday morning I woke up and said this is the day to start again. My 13 year old daughter and I decided to go for a walk. The place we had decided to go was a little too wet...ok, it was quite flooded, so we had to find another place to go. I decided that we would go to the mountain and climb for a little while and then turn around. Well, once I got started I didn't want to stop so up to the top we went! I think I started a little too high...is there such a thing?...So since I can't "work" into climbing the mountain, already did that 1st day, I hope to climb the mountain again next week. My family says now I have to do Mount Washington, the largest in the state next month and Everest the following month! LOL
Well, I am headed grocery shopping here in a little bit so I am off to the receipe section to get some ideas and plan some menus for myself.
I see my biggest obstacle right now as the drinking enough water every day.

Have a great day!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Welcome to the ADBB. Sounds like your not going to have any trouble getting your exercise in. I think its great that you've included your 13 year old in your walks, that will provide her with a positive example of keeping healthy. If you are looking for another challenge to keep you motivated, we have several challenges going on in our forums to encourage exercise/weight loss through team efforts and friendship.

Best wishes. I look forward to hearing more about you through your posts!

Welcome! Sounds like you're all fired up and ready to go. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing your weight loss adventures. We have lots of fun around here. Did you start a journal?

Hi and welcome! I think you'll find this a very supportive place to be. Check out the 'second time around' forum too.

Welcome Neighbor (I'm from VT). Hopefully you aren't in the Southern part of NH that had all the flooding - that was just awful!
If you stick to this WOE you will feel great and look great!

[TONSofFUN]

Fortunately we aren't too close to the flooding and we live on a nice big hill so no flooding here.


Thank you all for the welcomes.
Sarah

Welcome Sara from a neighbor on your other side here in Maine!

Walking is great exercise and with your dd is even better. For both of you. I enjoy all time spent with my daughter and when you get to help her learn something as important as exercising is to her life, its a double blessing.

Dont you think we have had just about enough rain up here lately?? Im a little water logged and there is just not enough mousse in this hemisphere to keep my hair in shape once I walk out that door lately. You can literally hear blades of grass gasping for air around here.
