    I just celebrated my 2nd anniversary with my husband, and have gained over 10 pounds since the wedding... We live in Indiana and have a 2 year old boxer named Sophie. I work for a parks department and my husband is a teacher/football coach. I actually just finished a Transition to Teaching program and got my license in Elementary Education, but it's really not a good time to find any teaching jobs, unfortunately...

    Good luck to everyone with the challenge!

    Welcome Lindsey, April, BJ, Laurie, and Sarah!

    A little about me...

    My name is Kristin. I'm a newer mommy to Kadence who turned 10 months yesterday! She is my pride and joy! I'm married to my best friend, Michael for 3 years tomorrow! I work as a research associate 7-4 M-F. I started MFP in 2007 after being married and getting "comfortable". I had never really been one to exercise, but found that I absolutely LOVE it! I was approaching my goal weight and getting very fit when I found out I was pregnant. Being sick the whole first trimester put my exercises on hold, and once I started feeling better, I was so out of shape that I pretty much gave up on any exercise other than walking. Needless to say, I gained WAY more than needed and am now working hard to lose it all and the remaining I had to reach my goal! I think Cathy and I are the only two from the "original" sixers group started like two years ago (or something like that...it's been a while!) and we just continue to give support and work together to acheive our goals! Six week challenges seem to be long enough to see results and short enough that we don't give up! We gain some and lose some as we continue, but are consistently here to help where and when we can! Happy to have some newcomers!

    As far as exercise for me these days, I have a jogging stroller (which was the BEST.GIFT.EVER) and so I run almost daily with Kadence. Also, I started the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred two weeks ago and am already seeing great results with that! Hoping that once Kadence is bigger, I can return to the gym and work towards being trained to teach fitness classes!

    Just a little about me...would love to hear more about all of you!

    Molly I added you into the mix. Next week you just put your new CW in and what progress you have made. Just copy and paste the newest list so that everyone is on there. And Welcome.
    To all new and not so new. My name is Sandy and I live in St. Louis Mo. I have 2 grown sons and one grand daughter. I am an art teacher working with K-6 grade students at this point. (used to teach hs for 7 yrs before this). BTW loved both grade levels. This is actually my first complete summer off without working. It has been a joy!
    Had a great salad today. I love to get the roasted chickens at the store. First day, well just reg chicken, but after that I make salad with cold chicken on it. On another day I make chicken salad or angel hair pasta with chicken, peppers, and asparagus. So good.
    Glad to see everyone and have a great evening.

    Sandy

    can anyone join this group?

    Sure.... We are a great group! If you have read the post you'll know that. I think Cathy and Kristen have been with the group since it started. When I joined they were/are sooooo helpful. Just look at the posts. We just started a new 6 week session so weigh ins are on Tuesdays. Copy and paste the post. Put in your SW which should also be your CW (this week) and your GW for the week.... at the bottom of the top section. I hope you good health and good luck.

    Molly, bhelmreich, Lindsey, Laurie, April, BJ, Sarah, Melissa - WELCOME!!!

    Kristin - Wow!!! Is Kadence 10 months already. Amazing how times flies.

    Cathy - Great job on your blood work. Take care of that heel.

    Amy (baha) - Can't wait to see the pics of Wyatt's room. My eight year old son will not let me change his room for anything. I'm allowed to add to his space theme (like Buzz Lightyear wall stickers), but never allowed to take anything away.

    A little about myself:
    I live in Maryland and have been married for over 4 years to a great man. We are raising our two beautiful children, (Shaelyn 9.5 and Christo(PHER) 8). Hubby and I both put on some weight after the wedding. Although I am in my "healthy" range, I'm working on my "comfortable weight". I exercise 4 to 5 times a week at a gym doing different classes of Zumba, step, aerobics...and have just started adding running back into the mix, with some weight training throughout the morning while I'm working my 3 am to 9 am shift at home from my computer. That about sums me up :)

    Have a great day everyone. Will check back in tomorrow or later this week.

    GOOD MORNING LADIES......

    i am well rested from my company and on the go. i am finishing up my coffee and heading to the gym with free weight exercises to do. my nephew had bought an LL cool J book on eating and exercising, got some great info. of things to do at the gym.

    how are the greatest people on earth doing this second day of our 6 weeks. only 40 days left to reach your mini goal. WOW.

    school will be starting for some towards the end of this 6 weeks. now is a good time to start getting your plan together on how you are going to handle the stress of a new schedule again. this is life for everyone. we don't just cruise on through. than life would be boring and uneventful. we have to have a strategy for when the hill, mountains, tunnels, turbulence comes. it's never going to be smooth.
    that's today's pep talk.

    have a great day, back later.

    Good morning all! I just wanted to post something about a new exercise "class" I attended last night. It's called Water Walking, and it's held in my city's water park in the Lazy River. I don't know if this is a wide-spread activity, or just held here, or what... But, it's an awesome leg workout! You can walk with the current of the water or against it. Walking with the current gives you the resistance of the water, but turning around and going against the current is really difficult!

    Anyway, if your town has a water park with a Lazy River, check and see if they offer something like this. It's a great thing to do in the summer time (it was 94 degrees last night while I was working out...)!

    Good morning!!!

    Cathy...glad you are well rested! And thanks for updating! Can you believe we've been doing sixers for so long?! It's crazy if you think about it!! And I wouldn't trade it for ANYthing!!!

    Molly, Lindsey...WELCOME!! We are happy to have you join us!

    Lorna...yay...I can't believe Kadence is 10 months already!! Seems like she was just born!! And we are now starting to plan a birthday party!!! CRAZY!

    To everyone else...hello!!

    AFM: Last night was great! Well...sort of. I went to balance my check book yesterday at work, and realized that my husband has been making some big purchases without telling me. Turns out he was helping a friend work on his car. Well that's great and all, but we don't have the money for him to be giving it away...even to a friend. Especially since this friend has PLENTY of money. So I was ALL upset, and cancelled out anniversary dinner for tonight! Went home and immediately did Shred level 3 (which was AWESOME and totally burned!) and then went for a 2 mile run with Kadence! How I love a good workout! It totally improved my mood! Dinner ended up being 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices light wheat bread, and string cheese. So I did really good! And my husband and I are fine...just no dinner tonight since he's been splurging, but I'll get over it. Plus it will save me from going over-board on calories.

    Plan for today:
    B-Multigrain cheerios, skim milk, coffee, sugar-free creamer
    S-Kashi TLC Baked Apple bar, banana
    L-Turkey, 1 oz. cheese, lettuce and honey mustard on light wheat, baby carrots, light yogurt
    S-Braeburn apple
    D-Chicken, green salad, brown rice
    S-Sugar-free pudding cup, popsicle

    Exercise:
    Shred day 15 level 3, and hopefully a run, but it's raining right now, so we'll have to see!

    Well...have a great morning ladies, and I'll check back later!

    I'm back! ... Again. Between VBS and a vacation to the mountains, I've been busy. I have been eating horribly over the last few weeks, but I've been keeping up with my running. Last time I ran (which was unfortunately now a week ago) I actually ran 3 tenths of a mile nonstop! :bigsmile: That's the best I've ever done!! I've been slacking on my water too. I only gave myself 3.5 lbs to loose this 6 weeks. It's not much, but I've never made my goal. So this time, with a smaller number, I plan on passing my goal!

    Amy(bahama) - I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. (((hugs)))

    i am back. had a good workout at the gym. was going to take my first spin class, but, after sitting on the bike for 5 mins, the instructor never showed. it was than 15 pass the start time. i put my bike back and left. it's ok, the set hurt my behind anyway. LOL.

    lindsey....that river walk sounds great. we have water parks here, but cost $20 to get in. great idea.
    kristen...yea, for workout out your stress/anger. as we know if we eat it, it will come back to bite us and no one else.
    baha...the babys room is so cute. interesting stuff on the tea. i had found a coffee at biglots that had something similar in it. getting it next week.
    amypyr..welcome back, busy little bee you have been.

    ok, i know there are many people i didn't address. i have read your posts and think of you often. in fact this whole group is on my mind when i eat.
    someone is have an anniversary today kristen and some one else. congrats. make time for yourselves. remember the beginning. my DH remembers what i was wearing when he proposed. i don't LOL. as long as i looked good. LOL.

    well off to get some stuff done and than lunch.

    Hi all! I am April. I am married to my high school sweetheart, have two sons ages 8 and 5. I work as a dental hygienist 2 days/week and the rest of the time, I am running my boys to soccer, baseball, etc!! Life is good. I love so many things about my life! My frustration lies in the fact that I can be so motivated to do most anything in my life, but when it comes to weight - well, that's another story!! Isn't that frustrating? I REALLY want to lose weight and start off with the greatest intentions, but for some reason it's that one thing that I keep failing at. ... ugh....
    I am really happy I am a part of this group..Thanks for letting me join:) I keep thinking I will be weighing in on TUesday, and that has kept me motivated yesterday. I have a hard time staying in my calorie allowance. I totally know what to do, what to eat, but I get so hungry!! (I am sure some of that is pure cravings). So....that is a little about me....I look forward to this 6 weeks!!!

    Hello Everyone! I am a newbie and I have been over weight most of my adult life. I am married and we have been together for 17 years, half my life. We have 2 beautiful boys, our oldest is 9 years old and our youngest just turned 2 yesterday! :smile: I need all the support I can get. I do really good for the first couple of weeks and all it takes is one day to get me off track for about a month. Then I do it all over again. I NEED this to stop!!! I am starting Slim in 6 tonight. Has anyone tried that? I am so determinded to make it this time!!!!

    I'm here. MIA last week on vacation. No cell service, no internet, no tv. Closest city was 30 miles away. It was heaven on a river.

    I haven't truly weighed in. I peeked and think I gained about 5 lbs on vacation. Oh well. I might weigh in tomorrow. Might wait until next Tuesday. While I'm in no hurry to check my weight, I'm eating right today.

    A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
    1. Married my high school sweetheart. He was my best friend until Army training broke him in two and he turned into a mean, cold stranger. Dealt with that for 8 years. Divorced as of June 28th, 2010!!!

    2. One darling diva daughter, will be 5 in a month. Time flies!

    3. Been 20-30 lbs from goal weight for a year or two. Dealing with a separation and child custody issues has derailed my focus. Once life settles in the custody area, I'll be able to buckle down, I think.

    4. I'm 29. Gemini. Love sun. Love water. Love clothes hanging on a line, smelling of sunshine. I love orange. I love taking photos. I want to sew dresses for my daughter and I but don't know how to follow a pattern. I love to read but never manage to take time for myself. I'm addicted to Facebook and bargain shopping. I want to run a 5k by the end of 2010 but stress has led to more smoking, not more running, which is *just kinda* counterproductive in 5k training. I love pop music and songs with a beat. I have recently gotten over my fear of ladybugs and fireflies. I rode a unicycle in elementary school. I'd prefer to be barefoot but settle for flip flops when I can get away with it. I believe in being honest, ethical, moral, and holding true to high character. I believe actions speak louder than words. I believe a silver lining can be found in every dark situation, although sometimes we don't want to see the silver lining (which is fine). I believe in taking time for pity parties, but using that emotion to fuel desire for change and creating action in your life to make the change. I have a phoenix tattoo on my back to remind me that I went through hell, but arose from those ashes, beautiful and reborn, flying high over the shattered wasteland of my past. I am unapologetically me.

    And that was fun to write :tongue:

    That was beautiful Lauryn! I read the other day that when we learn to accept our imperfections and that we are imperfect then life becomes easier, better, more comfortable..... and that is when we can really live. Just to say I am imperfect and I do things wrong is like a soul cleansing. You have gone through a ton and still are here and great. Wonderful!

    Good morning everyone. For the past 15 plus yrs I have had troubles sleeping through the nite. This past week this has changed. I am sleeping! YEA! I feel great and relaxed and I don't have as much anxiety.

    Amy- Wyatts room is sooo cute. Next week I am helping a friend repaint her sons room. It was a jungle theme as well. Her son is 21 and off in college so she figured it was time to change it! LOL

    Good to hear from everyone this morning.... Off to work around my house. FUN!!!!!

    Sandy
