FINALLY...
So yesterday.. We went to the zoo.. my son in the stroller, me pushing. We took the bus there, and walked abound for about5hours.. I'd say 3 of it was walking,.. We were there with my son's father, so when he finally left, I needed to clear my head.. so I said Oh well I can make the half hour walk to the second bus, to just have some quiet.. Well when I got to the second bus stop, I called to see when the next bus was do.. not for a half hour.. Well I told myselfto walk for that half hour.. I ended up walking all the way home.. just thinking, sorting things out and teaching my son about the different sites.. took me exactly 2 hours and 12 minutes to make the total walk.. which is 6.3 miles..
I am so proud of myself that I could walk it after walking around the zoo all day.. plus I ate really healthy yesterday.. lots of fruit and veggies and got all 120 oz of my water into me! YAYME!

Toledo is probably about an hour drive for me. I guess it's quite a haul for a trip to the zoo, but I hear it's worth it. Its about 25-30 mins to get to the detroit zoo anyways, so whats another 30 mins right?! Im missing my elephants here and idk what happened, theyve been gone for a while. Too bad you dont drive cuz we could meet.....sure you dont wanna walk there??!!! hahaha!!!! how far is cleveland from Toledo? Clevelands in the northern part of ohio isnt it?? u r probably only a cpl hrs from me. clevelands like south and then east of detroit if i'm thinking correctly.....right? Sometimes we head down to cedar point too...i dont like rides, but its fun to go and take the kids. I love the water parks tho.....ive been to soak city once.....before i was this fat!!!! i was big, but not this big!! im not going to anymore water parks until i lose more weight, maybe next summer!! plus my bathing suits dont fit and i refuse to buy a bigger one!! lol!!
idk why its quoting my response. i quoted yours, but my reply shouldnt be in the blue box!!!! wtf!!!0 -
Clevelandis right off of lake erie if I walk to the corner of my street I can literally see the piers .. North East Ohio.. I love Cedar Point..We're heading there for a company picnic in august.Can't wait! I haven't been since 2007. The Cleveland Zoo is 2 hours from the Toledo Zoo.
I don't blame you for not wanting to buy another swim suit. I haven't had one since I was like 10 tho, and I finally have enough confidence to get into one.. So I bought one from JCP it's very very very flattering and I haven't tried it on in a month. I'm so excited to go swimming and get a TAN this year lol I bought it in a size 16, but I'm almost ina 14, so I hope it's not going to be two big lol.

SW - 177 (4/23)
(4/24 - Today) - 176!!!
I don't want to set a goal that I won't achieve because I know it will discourage me. Here's my goal. I would like to be at 165 by my birthday on Jul 12. I realize that is just 11lbs. That is a little less than a lb/week.
I'm on 1200 calories because I have a desk job and don't do much during the day. I am doing Taebo every other day and walking every other day unless the weather is bad and then I'll switch it up. Can't wait to see results!0 -

My 27th birthday is July 18th. I currently weigh 196 pounds and I would like to be 175 by the time my birthday comes around.
My plan is to keep track of my calories & eat back as many of my exercise calories as I can. I also plan to cut out soda & sugary foods (except for on occassion), drink plenty of water & get in cardio & strength training at least 3 times a week.
So I weighed in at 186.8 yesterday. Two more pounds and I will be at a goal I set to hit over a month from now. woo hoo! I know I can reach the 175 mark by the time my bday rolls around! Best of luck to the rest of you with your goals!
Weighed in at 180.4 yesterday. I think I can do this!
Congrats to all the other posters with their successes both big and small! Can't wait til July / August when all the birthdays and special occassions roll around!0
