    Jenn -- 21 minutes is a really great time! He may end up being a really competetive 5k racer if he keeps it up!

    ***Also, please no BL spoilers on the thread today! I only made it through half of it last night so I still have to watch the last half. :laugh:

    Istpaull -HOOORAY!!! Good job throwing out the chips! I am so so proud of you! :drinker: :drinker: Seriously I have a huge smile on my face right now:bigsmile:
    Sad to say ... I had to throw egg shells and other breakfast scraps on top of the chips bag in the garbage before I really felt like I might not pull them back out. :noway:

    WHATEVER WORKS HONEY! WHATEVER WORKS!:wink::flowerforyou:

    Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement. I think my dad is on track with me to a more healthy lifestyle, so hopefully we can keep his heart from stressing too much. I'll just stay positive and see how it goes, but for now I'll check in for yesterday

    calories: Under, probably
    Water: under
    Exercise: some walking
    Proud: I didnt give in to snacking and I ended up weighing less than I did yesterday morning last night and this morning I weighed even less...2 pounds from being in the 220's! 231.8! I also went shopping and found some totaly cute shorts at Avenue, I took a 22 into the dressing room and it was falling off my butt! the 20's are snug but they're adorable too! I'm changing out my dumpy boring wardrobe for some color and sass! Its exciting to know I can wear whatever I like when I'm smaller!

    Mari-So glad to hear you Dad is doing better!! That is awesome! I will continue to keep him and your family in my thoughts. Hopefully this change is for good. You will be in those 20's before you know it. Trust me! And almost out of the 230's! Way to stay on track even during tuff times. That says a lot right there. You should feel very proud!

    I am in full blown stalker mode this morning. The bank has been open for almost 2 hours and I think I have had 2 customers...maybe!!

    I haven't seen Biggest Loser yet either. It's on DVR. But one of my friends already posted their comments on who got voted off so now that's ruined. No worries I wont say anything! HAHA! But a 21 minute 5k. That's amazing!!

    Okay since I'm bored at work as always! For those who aren't on my facebook or don't have facebook...here is a picture of me in Vegas that I saw this morning and had my OMG moment. I believe it's from July of 2008. Not quite my heaviest weight but about 10 pounds away I think.

    Phase 1 of stalking is complete.

    I am about to make my 3rd pee trip in 4 hours. I haven't drank any more water than usual, but that's a lot more running to the bathroom than usual. I'm getting excited to see what the scale has to say to me Friday. I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.

    Jess: Holy moly, I can't believe how much progress you've made. You're absolutely awesome!

    lstpaul: Good job getting rid of the chips. Where is your land located that you're trying to sell?

    Cris: I, too, knew we'd be good friends since we're both such awesome smart people!

    Awestfall: I like the new pic. Your face is getting thinner and thinner all the time!

    Littlespy: Like you, I never posted pics from when I was at my heaviest, but I'm seriously considering getting my OMG pic on here to share. It's crazy how sad and happy one can get in the same moment when seeing one of these pics. First it's "I'm gonna cry, I can't believe I was that huge", immediately followed by "Wow, I look so good now!"

    Last night, I managed to do an exercise on the pull-up bar that consisted of having my arms in the "ab slings" that come with the bar and lifting my knees, then twisting them to each side. Let me tell you, it killed the abs, but I think it means I'm getting stronger. It sounds stupid to be so proud of doing one rep of a particular exercise but it was huge for me. I think my boyfriend is going to whip my arms into shape whether I like it or not!

    Just think...extra calories just for the extra trips, too!

    I think I cried when I saw a picture of me at my son's 1st birthday....I was prob around 255 but I dont know for sure. Its the one I plan on posting when I reach 199. Ugh, if I can bear the shame :embarassed:

    jlb- you are usually pretty cautious about showing your excitement over a loss so Im thinking you did it girl...I honest to goodness see ONEDERLAND in your future like THIS WEEK!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Heather- my upper body strenght is sooo bad! Good for you working out your arms, keep posting your progress maybe it will motivate me to start!!!

    Hey Girls, I am here!! I have not left. I am just trying to get back on track at the same time I am also trying to be with my son more. He is struggling in that kinderfacts class. The K teacher took me aside to tell me she did not think he could handle kinder. He is my 4th kinder, I know that he is going to struggle with this. It breaks my heart to go to the class every week and hear all the wonderful things these kids should and are doing, but mine can't. He is so sweet and funny. He is actually very smart. Anyways, I appreciate everyone hunting me down. I am good I have not done great with eating but it is sooooooooo much better than my past habits. I will not be losing weight this week though. To top it all off we are going through more rain. It is not typical to have the amount of rain we have had around here. The rain really ends around this time of year and does not return until Sept./Oct. so that kinda has me feeling blah as well. Thanks again and you guys are great.

    Mari, your dad will be in my prayers!!! My father was an alcoholic. He went through several marriages and was ruining his life. He was about to ruin the marriage with my mother when I was 4 yo. Through lots of prayer he quit. I never saw him drunk again. I vaguely remember it. My older bros remember it but Myself and the 2 younger sibs Don't. So there is hope. My dad was 46 at the time and had been a heavy drinker since his teens.

    Hajohnson24: Our land that we are selling is in Menomonie,WI on the Red Cedar river - it's really quite pretty (I just changed my main profile pic to a picture from the dock at our land), we pontoon down to Lake Menomin- fish, waterski, etc.. But I would rather keep the family farm house (in Blair, WI) if we can work it out, plus we decided it would be too expensive for us to build on the land any time soon - so we aren't using it as much as we had hoped.

    Great job on the ab work with the pull up bar ... I don't think it is silly at all to be proud of doing such a hard exercise ... that's great! :drinker:
