DaybyDay - My two kids just started their Junior year of high school and I am already sad thinking of them going off to college. I can only imagine how it feels.

bschutt & astrosnider - welcome! You have joined by posting.

Bschutt - my daily goal is 1300 calories a day. At 1200 I am hungry all the time and end up going over too often and by too much. what is a bodybugg?

Astrosnider - I was at 155 for a long time. It is slow going. Hang in there.

Have to go to another boring meeting. Have a great day everyone,

Jeannie

Off to Minnesota tomorrow for 5 days. Anyone in the Twin City area? If so, maybe we can meet and go for a walk somewhere. I will not have that much free time in between the wedding and family reunion cookout, but would love to meet up with you if we can work it out.

*sings the Iggy pop song* "I'm only 5 foot 1" and 156lbs (or 71 kilos if you think metric like I).

The Bodybugg is an amazing little gadget that you wear on your upper arm and it tracks your calorie burn with over 90% accuracy I was underestimating my BMR and I think by eating around 1200-1400 calories, I've been in starvation mode rather than fat-burning mode. This furnace needs more fuel! I weightlifting!!!

Good morning Fit and Fun Sized Pals!! I am finally walking alone on my own 2 feet (after foot surgery June 1). I have a limp and hopefully I will be back to normal within time. I have been doing about 2 minutes on the elliptical....slow and easy. My battle with sweets continues. I've decided to have something healthy along with the sweets hoping eventually to wean away from the sweets (like a banana with a cookie).

What has everyone been doing to stay healthy?

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: we sold our house and moved to a new place this month......we were without internet for over a week.......we love our new house, but there is so much to do that I have to be sparing on the computer and when I'm on the computer it has to be for my business first, then for address changes, and that doesn't leave much time for friends. I've been walking the dogs and getting exercise carrying boxes, moving furniture, and walking from one end of the house to the other putting things away.

1a1a- I do love the account name. Welcome.

bschutt - Thanks for the info on the BodyBugg. It sounds like a more fun than wearing a heart monitor. I will have to keep my eye out for one.

DaybyDay- Congratulations on being a 2 footed (or biped) person again. You will get back on track soon. I think your idea is a good one on how you are weaning off stuff.

Barbie - Welcome back. Good to hear you are in your new home.

The wedding was nice, but weird We were treated more like casual friends that immediate relatives from out of state. But, we did get to spend one day with my brother and his family. We never did get to meet the groom or my other niece's fiancee.

On September 1rst I am reweighing myself and adjusting my ticker. Until then I am just going to stop over eating like I did while I was out of town.

While in Minnesota I went to Mall of America (of course) and bought myself something new. It may sound strange, but I bought a new bathing suit at a specialty store called Everything but the water. They actually measured me for my suit and brought out everthing in the store that was in my size. Their measurements confirmed what I already knew, but it still sunk in more when it was confirmed. My lower body is a lot more trim than my upper body. I won't give TMI about it. lol

So, I know what I have to work on and how I need to change my exercise routines.

Have a great day everyone,

Jeannie

I hope everyone is doing well. I am still trying to get back into the swing of things. Recovery is going good. I still can not do any exercise or lifting and that is driving me crazy!! I am no happy about all this just waiting around. Sept 13 can not come fast enough! I plan on starting my traing for the April 1/2 marathon as soon as I can (Sept 13). I have gained 6 pounds during this process so I am super bummed about that but it's gonna fall off once I can start running again. :grumble: :grumble:

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Hello everyone,

Here is the link to the new thread:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/332632-fun-fit-sized-for-the-under-5-4-crowd-september-2011

I hope to see all of you there.

Babygurl1 - when you start running, I will start too. It is the one thing I have NEVER been able to do. If I can run a mile by April, I'd be thrilled. Hang in there September 13 is just around the corner.
