What is the 20 lbs. by Easter challenge?0
-
I weighed this morning and changed my ticker weight. Speaking of tickers how do you get it back? I see no one has one anymore.
Anyway, I am starting today to get this weight off. Since I was my lowest in the summer I have gained 15 pounds including the Christmas holiday. How easy it goes on.
Let's support each other and Friday is weigh in day. I am going out for New Year's Eve
for dinner and a show and then back on track again.

Shirley it is on your profile. Bob on our Golden Y ears thread explain how to do it but barbiecat could not get it to work for her. and if it could be done she could do it. I know you could go to your profile and copy your ticker by clicking below your ticker and paste it where you want to. But it do not keep it you would have to do it all over again. I plan on doing just that wen my ticker moves. right now it is not moving.

Wow fantastic weight lose Connie congratulations.
I've never popped corn before but it sounds really yummy with peanut butter so i'll give it a go. great tip.
Didn't get up early enough for exercise before work today but will be out for a run tomorrow. Going to France on a skiing holiday on 3 January so will get plenty of exercise then.
I can't get a ticker to appear on my posts either although I've tried loads of times so I've given up.
I've logged all my food for today but still gone over a bit on the last of the Christmas pudding, very soon all the Christmas goodies will be gone and I can get back to normal eating, I've decided not to bet myself up any more about eating rubbish over the holidays, I haven't put on any extra weight over the 8lb I'd already gained before Christmas.
Hope you all have a good evening.

The only way I know to get your ticker to show up on your post is to copy the code onto a word document that you keep available and then copy the code at the bottom of your post.
Most of the time I compose my post in that word document with the ticker and a signature at the bottom and then copy the whole thing into the reply box.

Hi Everyone! Finished my vacation over the weekend and I am back to reality. Only gained 1lb after last week but it is slowly coming off. Tonight I will be attempting Kickboxing so hopefully it is fun!

can we get the conversations to show up on our message boards?

Marie - Yes, you are right I am back on SBD, but when I don't have a plan to follow I seem to eat all the wrong things. So I do need a structured plan.
Thanks for the ticker information I guess I will try but I am not really good at these things on the computer.0 -

Hi! Getting a late start, but I am in. During a recent physical, I found out that I am pre-diabetic. Scary!! My doctor put me on a strict low-carb/sugar diet. My triglycerides are also elevated. Low carb is also supposed to correct this. Looking forward to losing 20 pounds and seeing better blood results by Easter!!

Good morning to all losers!
I am just checking in before heading to the gym. Today is personal training for 30 minutes then Aquafit for 60 minutes. I've had a great breakfast of oatmeal and egg white /cheese omelette and my snack is in the bag.
I hope all of you have a wonderful and productive day as you move along in your journey.
Welcome to new folks.
Marie, keep warm!
Happy New Years Eve!!0 -
Happy New Years Eve, everyone! Marie, thank you for this super friendly thread/group! I've participated in a few challenges/groups and this is by far the nicest group of folks. :-)
I neglected to write where I live on my earlier posts. I live on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland. They call it God's country and it's fairly rural with lots of farms, cows, and chickens. It's a great area for walking and bicycling.
No exercise yesterday, as I decided to take one day to rest after all my walking. Hubby plans to get off early and we'll hit the road again for a nice LONG walk. Not sure if we'll stay up until midnight to watch the ball drop. At 51, I prefer an earlier bedtime than I did in my 20s and 30s. LOL
I'm very excited about tomorrow being the start of 2015. I have made a resolution for 2015 to give up something that slows my weight loss. Prayers for success in this are always welcome!
Are any of you making a resolution for a specific change in 2015 (other than just "lose weight")?
Barbie, I LOVE this from your posts: The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
I am adopting this for myself and my word for 2015 is “mindful” ....THANK YOU!
