I love that we had so many join from NPRA. Way to go on only gaining 1 LB over Christmas! I have also started drinking water, which for me is hard to do. But I told myself I would allow myself 1 diet soft drink, but only after my daily water intake is met. Kinda as a reward to myself. I'm lucky Hubby needs to lose weight also and is kinda following the diet as well so a little less temptation at home. =) Glad we have friends on here. I know you can do it. Go girl! 

That is great that you only gained 1 lb! I weigh in tomorrow morning at WW to see what weight is now. I really need to get back to drinking water! And just getting back on track! Who would have thought NPRA would have brought us here...lol. GOOD LUCK! 

NPRA is great for a lot of things!! now this!! When i first started at the end of July I NEVER and do i mean NEVER drank water!! Now its mostly all I drink. I bought the 40oz klean Kanteen from the coop and I have been using that! My husband also needs to loose weight, he TRIED to use fat secret BUT he hated it because of the way you put the food in. So i told him I would do it for him. That lasted 2 days then he stopped telling me what he was eating. He is obviously doing something right because when he weighted himself a few days ago on the Wii Fit 9 which is what we are using and have been) he lost 19.6lbs since July 21!! He wasnt trying that hard just cutting back on what he normally ate. The man drinks 8 16oz glasses of Lipton Iced Tea a day at home and i dont know how much at work. He has a yough time with keeping track at work because he doesnt have a regular schedule, he is on call 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. There is one day a week he can take off if he has enough seniority over other guys. He is a Locomotive Engineer for a commuter Railroad! Its not easy to be married to someone that doesnt know when there going to work next, BUT we have been together for almost 9 yrs so im kinda used to it now!! :-) If you need any help with fatsecret dont hesitate to ask! Also, you can get fatsecret on Facebook if you have that and also if you have a blackberry there is an application for fat secret and boy that has helped me!!!!!! :-) 

Congrats on only gaining 1lbs over the holidays. It's amazing that NPRA brought so many people to this site. It's great having others to help motivate you. Keep up the great job.  

My husband is the same way...he doesn't want to be bothered with something structured and just does his own thing (which I have tried and obviously hasn't worked for me). He lost 30 lbs in about 8 weeks and has kept it off for 4 months now. I REALLY need to catch up! 

This is def. another plus for NPRA, support always helps when trying to do anything no matter how difficult or easy it is.
