    I almost forgot! I was getting a drink of water at the gym and I said hi to the lady beside me. We exchange hellos but never really talk. She said to me 'You are really looking slim and trim these days.' I coulda hugged her!

    That's the stuff it's made of- not the dumb number on the scale.

    Agreed! You should be super proud of yourself!

    Shuntae, you are awesome. Actually all you 100 pounders are. I am struggling to hit my 50, working my butt off and you guys that have lost 100 or more are still kicking it and have the most amazing attitudes and are such a great support.

    100 pound people rock!

    Go Shuntae!
    Go Andrew!
    Go Roni!

    And Tami-- and NWFamily Gal or something-- yipes-- can't remember your screen name-- but she's on our team-- 110 lost, I think--

    You're awesome, people.

    On no! Sorry I didn't mean to miss anybody! I actually was thinking there was at least one more. Thanks Marla. I'm using this Florida heat as my excuse. Delerium.

    Hey Sam. After realizing I missed somebody in the 100 pound club I thought it would be cool to know what our team has lost to date since each person has started on this journey. I bet it's a boatload of weight! I know it's not part of our weekly thing, but it would still be fun to see.

    :blushing: Me too. Of course, it's taken me 10 years. But I did it!! :drinker:

    Sam, I thought about you today while I did a measley 5 miles on the bike. My backside was hurtin'. I kept thinking you must have buns of steel to tolerate 15 miles.

    Vanessa, sure hope the little guy gets figured out and feels better real soon.

    I burned my 1,000 calories today that I told myself I would. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy peasy. Bike 5 miles, stairclimber 1 mile, ran 1/2 mile, elliptical 5 miles and lifted. Geez! I was starting to think I'd have to give a kidney to hit the 1,000. Durn foot better feel better fast!

    Oh no!!! I have a very boney Bum so it starts to hurt at about the 3 mile mark but I know I have to burn the calories that I keep going. I say poor hubby most of the time! :wink:

    finding out what we have all lost would be cool. If everyone wants to send their original start weight I will put up how much we have all lost from the begining!

    Back from the clinic. Severe upper respitory infection. Bed rest and fluids, along with some anti-biotics. Does floating in the pool drinking beer count as bed rest and fluids? Actually I am joking, not even a party animal like me can hang today...I'm in my dark little cave of a bedroom with a glass of water on the bedstand, trying to breathe. Maybe my sister will bring me chicken noodle soup. HAHAHA

    Hey all - I need a favor.

    I am getting ready to go to the hospital for an MRI to check out my back. Could you all send me some good luck vibes?

    I'm really hoping this is not serious and I do not need to go in for surgery.

    I am really worried and kind of scared, so if you could send me some helpful vibes, or prayers, I would really appreciate your help.

    Thanks, Janie

    Only had time to skim, but had to post again - looks like I'm not the only one out there that needs some prayers..

    Vanessa - so sorry about poor Owen. Are they checking for Lyme disease? My kids have had it a couple of time each and each time it started with vomiting and fever. Prayers for you and your son - your BF pi$$ed me off, so not so much for him (how could you possibly be responsible that your son is sick - :grumble: :noway: )

    Lynnie - feel better babe.. sinus crap is the worse - feels like you will die and then you are afraid you won't. Prayers to you for a complete recovery.

    Andrew - WAY TO GO on the 5K - awesome time for your first. very proud..

    Off to hospital.. Janie

    Vanessa- Sending one up for the little guy. That's so scary to have a sick little one. I hope they figure out what's going on, and soon. And tell your BF to shut it.

    Janie- Sending one up for you, too! Hope they figure out what's going on with your back and that it doesn't require surgery.

    Lynnie- Feel better soon and take care of yourself!

    Evening folks. Funny moment from today. My 12 year old son, Ian is selling on ebay a pair of ripped up Abercrombie jeans in a 30x30. Much to his dismay I had them on today and they fit. Muhahaha!

    Ok, so they were tight across the hips and behind, but they were on and all of the buttons on the button fly were closed. He did tell me not to sit down, he was afraid I would rip them and he couldn't sell them. Seriously? How would you notice a few more rips? Those things cost a fortune and looked like they met a weed whacker when he bought them. I believe they call the look 'destroyed'.

    I remember the day when they were little and got holes in their jeans and I wouldn't let them wear them 'out' places. Now a dressed up look is jeans that are ripped to shreds.

    I'm a traitor to my generation because I never got that style even when I was younger. :laugh: Can't imagine buying (or fitting, for that matter) anything in that store, especially some ripped jeans!

    Ouch! I can handle it on kids 21 and under because they don't remember it the first time...but I firmly believe that if you wore it the first time, you are too damn old to rock it when it comes back.

    You two are still young. I'm older than you and when I get to my goal I'm buying myself a pair of those ripped up jeans and I'm going to rock them. I think I'll go to American Eagle though, Abercrombie is out of my price range. Those old movie star folks do it, so can I darn it! :laugh: (Wonder if they make them with a pouch to stick the belly flab?)

    LOL You are too much! I did go into American Eagle for the first time a couple months ago, and it wasn't so bad. The rest of them (Abercrombie, Hollister, etc.) are not my style or budget at all. Especially not when I have to dress up most of the time. I'm more of a New York & Co kind of girl.

    Vanessa-I hope Owen is ok soon. It sucks when they are sick and there isn't much you can do about it til they figure out what's wrong.

    Janie-I hope your back turns out ok and you won't have to have surgery. That is so awful!

    Lynnie-Girl get you some rest to get over that infection. That will be the best thing for you!

    April-Thanks for the commercial!! And take Lynnie some chicken soup please!

    Sam-My starting weight on here was 192 pounds. Uugghhh!! I haven't lost as much as most here but everyone is so motivational!!! Great job on that bike ride!

    Lori-You are doing so great! That scale has to love you this week!!!

    Jeannie-Congrats on getting a bike and loving it too!

    Everyone I missed HELLO and hope you are all having a great evening. I worked my 12 hours and came home, ate supper, and went out for my power walk. Hubby joined my with his bike for a while then walked with me for a while too. Then all the cats came out to watch us walk....LOL! I only got in 35 minutes before it got dark and burned 289 calories. Now I am relaxing!!

    Oh yea-Lori and Shuntae- I would love to rock a "nice" expensive pair of ripped jeans! Lori I think you can do it now too!! Now the acid wash would have to go away tho!
