Hello all, between not feeling well & being super busy I have been reading, but not posting this week. My cold has improved, but still not up to running. I plan to try a brisk 4 mile walk tomorrow. Spent the morning today in the ER with my Mom. She is ok, leg pain, that appears to be muscular. Then spent the afternoon doing some heavy cleaning in her apartment. Moved furniture & cleaned behind everything.

Janet, I love your stories. Now I need to rewatch "Hairspray"...love those old clasics. Hope your shower went well.

TA: Hope all is ok & your students are setteling in.

cbm: Love thrift shops. SCORE! on the jeans. My go to place is my church thrift shop. You just can not beat the prices.

Snooozie: You are the glue that keeps this group together. I speak for everyone in thanking you for all your support.

Hello Ladies,

Been working and lurking through the weekend. Shouldn't take much more to finally have things where I want them to be.

Now I am proud to say the 12 week challenge I joined has one more weight in and I am finishing ahead of the goal I set.
Name/ real name: Tammy
Going for -24 lbs
Current Weight: 294
Challenge Goal Weight: 270

07/02: 294
07/09: 293
07/16: 293
07/23: 292
07/30 289
08/06 286: <<<mini goal weight>>>286 MET
08/13 286
08/20: 284
08/27: 282
09/03:278 <<<mini goal weight>>> 278 MET
09/10: 275
09/17: 271
09/24: 269
10/01: <<<challenge goal weight>>> 270

The beginning was rocky but I learned to really look at not only what you eat but the nutritional values provided by that food. My thoughts when joining MFP was to lose 50 pounds by Christmas. Looking ahead now I am adjusting to a new goal of 64 pounds. That will also put me under 250 for the first time in somewhere btw 15 and 20 years. I did adjust my numbers by 4 pounds for the new challenge since Thanksgiving and Christmas fall in this one. I am excited to finish the year in both better health and at a lower weight for a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

Smile and make them wonder what you're up to... :glasses:

Can only imagine the challenges you face...take one day at a time and the rest will take care of itself...
