No luck with vitabot so I am staying with loseit.com.Finally got back in the gym,still not doing as well as I want but I am slowly getting it together.Expect setbacks but do not give up,if you have a bad day just except and get back in the game the next day.

Had my blog address wrong,corrected and resent last blog.weighed myself today,1 week in,no gain no loss bad start.Made a few changes in eating habits though and will start my workouts at the gym on Monday.I expect better results by next Sat. and I am still shooting for a 10 lb loss by Feb. weigh in.

Hi Gang,
Going for my assesment tonight.Very excited to get program going.When I started it last year after the first weigh-in I felt like now what,all the hoopla was over and I was alone to do this myself but then I realized there was a lot of help and kicked it in gear.I would suggest that you team up with someone to get you and to keep you motivatedpreferablyy someone else in the challenge.If you have someone else to answer to it is easier.Buddy up and go to the boot camps or other workouts they offer.My wife and I used the Mentor Senior Center Gym,if not for her I would have stumbled a lot more,a partner makes a big difference.
