    Hi Fit Friends!!!! I am feeling alittle better today....made it to running last night!!! 12 mins walk 1 run 8 more mins. I am feeling so good about my weight loss. I think I am close to 15# lost since the end of July. I am soooo excited with another NSV...as I was driving yesterday I noticed my hands on the wheel and I am starting to see thinner hands and some bones I haven't seen in awhile!!!!!!

    Well I hope you all have a great day....what exercise will you do??? Are you drinking your water???

    Oh No Clarie!!! I am so sorry!!!! That is one of the hardest things ever. I bet your poor pup is not enjoying a quaility life, so you and your family are making the right choice :cry: You are doing everything right knowing you don't want to eat due to your emotions. GOOD JOB ~ Take Care :flowerforyou:

    I enjoyed Zumba yesterday...not sure what I will do today. We have football tonight. I really need to focus on my work today..I have been slacking alittle. I would also like to start doing some weekend chores to get ahead alittle.... wish me luck :tongue:

    I have a tiny loss .2 this week CW 183.8 I'm so fine with it.

    Hope all is well with everyone....been super quiet here

    Claire,
    I am so sorry you have to go through this .... I don't have pets but I can imagine is like family. We did have a Beta fish once, they live a very short life, so, after 2 months he died. My son was crushed when we let him go "into the ocean" (aka flushed down the toilet). I cannot imagine what would be like to have to lose a friend of years and years ...
    Hang in there - this too shall pass!

    Judy - I would love to do Zumba but they just don't do it early in the morning at my gym. I imagine there are not too many people eager to wake up at 4.30 Am to go for a dance :) You should see the faces that early in the morning - we are all zombies. But I like it that way .. .the gym I am going to has the reputation of beeing the "yupee" gym in town, lots a people with "resources" come there ... and their wives ... It is so not me! But when I go in the morning, the "normal" people come - the ones that have jobs and workout in the morning because they have to go to work, or the ones that are so into fitness that they can't sleep :) ... anyway, people that are serious about working out.

    Hope everyone else is doing good.

    I lost 2.5 lbs - the ones that I put on last week. Back to 164.5. I updated my signatures to include goals - I was so afraid to write down actual numbers, but I figured this will keep me focused. And this takes me back to that thought - we are so afraid of failure that we give up or we don't try. But we forget that failure is part of trying, and trying implies repetition.

    So, hopefully later today Judy and I can get back to y'all with some updates about our group.

    Take care!

    Hi and welcome to the weekend!!!! Well our group seems to have gotten very small. Julie is super busy with her new job and wonderful daughter and needs to take a step back. Loredana and I have offered to take over the group for her as long as she keeps checking in and stays on track:wink:

    We do want to put a shout out on the message board for some new members so we can have more points of view and support. We need to find some people who will check in somewhat daily to share their success and struggles. Also we are also thinking of putting together a chart and so we can see our progress.

    A Big Thanks - To Julie for getting this started I love the new friends I have made and we will make you proud keeping the group going!!!!

    My plan for the day is 30 mins house work...gym...run on the treadmill, then yoga class....back home for more chores and yardwork...then hit the shower and enjoy the sunset with some wine :drinker: What are you doing today???

    Make Good Choices :smooched:

    I'm still here just been busy with company, work etc. I gained a couple of pounds this week but am back on track. Hard to stay motivated when the scale doesn't move in the right direction but I am determined to lose this weight. Had a binge day yesterday but it was the first one I've had since I started here in August. It wasn't even a horrible binge day, just ate more pizza than I should have and got into the Halloween candy. Can't wait to get that out of the house tomorrow!! Have a Happy Halloween and stay strong!!!!!!

    I was down 3 lbs this week. Ate a bit too much Halloween candy over the weekend though. My grandmother passed away yesterday afternoon, so I'm not sure how I'll do this week. I have to go back home for the funeral this coming weekend.
