Oh yeah!  I forgot, psyknife - I'll PM you or post a screenshot of my Weight Watchers online weight tracker after my weigh-in day so you can be sure I'm not fudging my progress.    That way, I'll be accountable not only to myself, but to you and others as well.

For exercise, I plan just to do my workout DVD as much as possible thoughout the week.  Work is entering a busy time and I'm not home much in the evenings - usually just long enough to cook dinner, eat dinner, and go to bed!  It will calm down in a few weeks though.  And I think Weight Watchers is doing a Couch to 5K thing this year like they did last year so I'll participate in that again, but I don't have concrete details yet.

On a related note, I need to top up the air in my exercise ball but I can't get the plug out!  Any ideas?  That thing is wedged in there good!

MINE!    I love her, lucky!  Those colors are absolutely PERFECT!!

I'll do it!!  I have to go take my measurements first though.  I haven't done that in years!
 
EDIT:  Can I go ahead and fill in the form and do measurements when I get home?

GOALS
1.) What is your goal weight?
Eventually about 130 but I'd take 140 right now!  I tend to set smaller goals and then I'm more rewarded-feeling when I realize I've met SO MANY small goals that have equalled one BIG goal.
2.) What are your goal inches?
No idea right now.  Chest is at least 36" though.
3.) What habits do you want to break?
I want to quit eating mindlessly, or when I'm bored.
4.) What habits do you want to develop?
I need to get in healthy oils and more dairy.  I'm good in the fruit/veggie, whole grains and lean meats departments.

PLAN
1.) What program will you be following (this is important, you need a PLAN for success, so be detailed)?  This includes how many days per week you are exercising... how many minutes/hour(s) you are exercising that day... WHAT type of exercising you are doing... etc.
I'm on Weight Watchers.  For exercise I do very little, but I do a core strenghtening DVD a few times a week for 30 minutes (beginner time, but I do the advanced moves).  Mostly I want to do toning and/or yoga.

2.) What steps are you going to take to improve your nutrition?
I already prepare all my meals in advance but I need to plan my snacks better.  I usually reach for fruit but I LOVE chocolate and I need to limit my intake a bit more.  I have switched to whole grains and lean meats already.  I need to improve my dairy but I can easily incorporate it if I eat it as a snack instead of with a meal.

WHY
What are your reasons for wanting to get into better shape and play with us in this journey?

I'm terrified of getting diabetes or other health-related problems, especially if there was something I could have done all along to prevent them!  And, I'm tired of being the fat girl.  I'm tired of seeing pictures of me and being embarrassed by them.  I want to feel better about myself and the way I look.  I want to turn heads because I'm hot, not because I'm fat.

If you send extra ponies please only send from my list. I do not collect G3's or G4's.

I would prefer to receive several less expensive ponies than one HTF one.

I do not like haircuts or major marks. The odd symbol/blush/eye rub is acceptible. Ponies that smell do not need to smell any longer. No ponies that smell like smoke (allergic), no chews, no missing limbs/horns/ears. Playwear acceptible. Pen marks not acceptible. Flutters obviously do not need their wings, lol!

I AM DOING WEIGHT WATCHERS. Please do not send me any candy if it is not the Weight Watchers by Whitman's stuff (I don't like the coconut ones, but the rest are tasty!). If you can't find these, I like peppermint tea A LOT. My cats would be more than happy to eat snacks sent to them if you'd prefer (but nothing dairy based, Slick will barf everywhere).

Oh!! Also please do not send anything like confetti or twist ties in the box as, again, Slick will eat it and barf. If I throw the confetti away immediately he'll dumpster dive for it. If I tie it in a bag he will chew through it. He's a bit of a handful. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

EDIT:  I keep thinking of more!
 

Actually, you know what?  My grail is the lilac-haired Mexican Posey I paid for last year and never received. 

They're for sure in Walmart in Broken Arrow/Tulsa OK.  They're back with the regular ponies, $1.98 a bag.  Buy the whole box and get them all at once.
