Thanks for the info
I have just been calling that a "suezzzque" day
I wasn't very good to myself this weekend and my tummy is letting me know in no uncertain terms!!
Not that I was horrible but off track a bit. Back at it today.

hello everyone,
I have had a very busy weekend and wasn't very good although I really am not sure since I didn't post my food.Weekends are my down fall people always want to go out and eat or hang out at the pool with pool goodies. I am doing well today and already did boot cam this morning and will be doing a spin class tonight. I have a polar f6 heart rate monitor and it usually shows about 500 calories for 1 hr of intense workout boot camp, spin class, and tennis. So if I do two classes in a day I do have a 1000 calorie burn.
Congrats on the new grand baby she is lovely.
Suzzeee will continue to pray for your brother.
I weigh on fridays and I lost a pound this week I still have several more to lose before I am back to my ticker weight. Hope to see it lower in the next month. I still have 20 lbs. I would love to lose but it is so hard it comes off so slow goes on toooooo fasssssst:sad: :sad: :sad:
Well have a nice evening and keep strong.

The reason Daniel called it a "fast" was because that's what he had to be after all that water and the fiber from those vegetables!!:laugh: Barb
Barb, you CRACK me up! :laugh:
That was the plan. Your brother is in my prayers, and I thought you could use a reason to smile right now.
Have a good week.

First off - I need to apologize for being so scarce on this thread. The last month has been a trial for me and I can't believe it's July tomorrow!!!! I will start a new thread for the month tomorrow morning. Any suggestions on goals for the group or should we just leave it as each one posting their own goals. I think this thread has been so helpful to keep us all motivated just by the encouragement and of course the cartoons from Kathy! :laugh:
I will go back and read the posts but wanted all of you to know that I am still alive and kicking. Mostly kicking myself :laugh:
Esther
ps - how did you do on your June goals? I failed the weightloss of 4 lbs!0 -
Esther,
I have an Esther (she's 15)! It is always good to have fresh starts, whether it be a new day, a new week, or a new month! The important thing is to get going again. These are a great bunch of ladies and we all have something in common and understand how the whole process works. I'm looking forward to the July thread. Have a great day!!:flowerforyou:0 -

Good Afternoon ladies,
Esther I am glad you are back. Whatever you decide on goals is fine with me. I am just so grateful to you for starting this thread in the first place. It is the perfect place for me. I just love the interaction and the motivation that I get from it. I am sorry about June for you. I hope July will be better. Have a good day ladies. Loooking forward to hearing from all of you later.
Vicki0 -
Wow! July starts tomorrow. Even with longer days, the summer's flying by.
You all are doing so well. I'm looking forward to a loss of pounds in double digits. I've been slow jogging for 15 min. twice a day and lifting soup cans for weights.I do feel like I'm making progress, but oh....so..... slowly.
So, what do you all eat for breakfast? Do any of you have to eat quickly to get to work by 7:30 a.m.? I have been skipping breakfast until I started this journey in late May. I can see myself getting sloppy about breakfast when school starts back in three weeks. I want to get up earlier to exercise a little bit before showering, but I don't look forward to finding time for breakfast also. Any advice?

Hello,
Wishful I eat several different things for breakfast when I am in a rush I grab a pure protein bar it tastes like a candybar to me and it holds me until can grab a peice of fruit. I buy them at Sam's club they have 20 grams of protein and around 180 calories. Some other things I have are cottage cheese and a peice of fruit. Hard boiled eggs and sometimes I take the time to make an omlet. In the winter I make a large pot of oatmeal and pull out a serivng reheating in microwave with dried fruit. I never skip breakfast because it will get that metabolism reved up.
I can't believe it is July already where did june go. Originally I had hope to be at my goal weight by then.
But that hasn't happened due to bad habits in time of stress. The good news is I am here and still trying maybe I will be at my goal by Sept..
Good luck to us all!!!!!

Memo to everybody
Put Trail, BC on your list of places to visit.
I have only a minute on the computer at the bookstore/internet cafe.
I miss you all and can't wait to have internet access at a campground.
We are doing well with eating but not so good with exercise (too hot) but we're having a great time.
big hugs

Okay - I have gone back and read everything but I may not respond to all of you. I have made notes and hopefully I can retain what I've read :laugh: This is a group of over 50 year old women right :laugh: :laugh:
Anne: You are such an inspiration to me. You are making great choices and changing your lifestyle which is where we all want to be I think.
momof10: I go to Curves and love that it is only women. They may offer 2 weeks free - ours does from time to time. So if you have one near your home give it a try - that way you’ll know if you like it without putting any extra money out. I have done ww before and lost weight. I did enjoy it but for whatever reason I couldn’t get back into it. If you have one near you and can give it a try I think it’s a great program. The failing was on my part not WW’s!
Barbie: Glad you made it across the border safely. Enjoy.:glasses:
Vicki: good job on the weight loss! :flowerforyou: School is out here by mid-June and starts up again the day after Labor Day, which is a bummer because that's some of the nicest weather here in the NW - fall time.
Laurie: You’re sooooo close to 60# lost! You’re going to make it!:happy:
Marie: Good for you. A little exercise is better than doing nothing. It would be so easy to just tell yourself that you can just wait until you’re healed up...but, I’m glad you aren’t settling for that.:flowerforyou:
Barb: I love the 10 Commandments. I have them printed out for daily reading:-) :happy:
Nancy: It makes it worth it when people notice the result of our efforts to eat healthier. Glad you got noticed and they commented on your success.:flowerforyou:
Heather: Isn’t is great to hear that others appreciate your daughter as much as you do! I know it warms my heart when my children have been an encouragement to others.:happy:
Susie: How is your brother doing today?
IknowIcan: Welcome to this awesome thread! :happy:
Lianne: I’ll be thinking of you and praying for you tomorrow with your surgery. :flowerforyou:
Diane: What a pretty little baby girl. Give her lots of hugs
Doobiedo: Come and post when you have the time. You are a busy lady and family comes first. We’ll look forward to hearing from you as your schedule permits.
Teentchr: Good for you. Congratulations. :flowerforyou: Small goals lead to Great Success!
Hope you all have a great evening. I'll get the July thread started "Late" tonight so it's there for you 'East Coast' ladies when you get up.:yawn:
Thanks for all your kind words and encouragement. I'm thankful fo all of you.:flowerforyou:

I am new to myfitnesspal. All my life I have jumped around with weight, but have always managed to keep it down. I went through menopause (it's been a year) and the weight just keeps coming. No matter what I do, it won't go down. I am pretty active, too. I know that hearing what other women have to say will help.0

Welcome Colleenannboyd: We're glad you found us. This is a great thread. Come back often.

Just heard from my brother. His biopsy results say he HAS Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Next step is to see an oncologist. His wife and kids are all in shock.
I'll weigh and measure and post results tomorrow for the month of June.0 -
Susan, I am so sorry about your brother's diagnosis. I wish there was more I could say or do - I feel for you and your family.

Sorry, I think I'm over tired and a little punchy right now.
Welcome again. We will all get through this. We just have to keep trying and trying. Many of the ladies here have been quite successful so take inspiration from them.

The July thread is started.
See you there.

Susan,
I am SO sorry to hear the news about your brother, but it is important to maintain a positive outlook about the future. There have been many advances in the treatment of this and other types of cancer. I hope your brother has already been eating right and living a healthy lifestyle. If not, it is time to start. The one thing that I have run across repeatedly in holistic literature related to treatment of cancer is that sugar should be avoided as it can "feed" the cancerous cells. I am NOT an expert, but there is a lot of good information out there about how to approach fighting this disease.
I wish your brother every success in overcoming this enemy, and will keep him and all your family in my prayers.
