Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Hello all, I am going to give it a go again.

It's not been pretty for me either, but just hanging in there. You can too. Stay with us. We're here for you.

Hi

I did not take the night picture with the moon. We did take the tour and it was interesting but my night shots on the moving boat in that picture did not come out as good as that one from the river bank from their website.

Believeth- Here is the big fish my BIL got.



"@Kelley - glad to hear you might be able to get back to running soon!!! I know how much you love it!!!! But take it easy, at the start... wouldn't want you to re-injure by going too far, too quickly. This advice in no way stems from a selfish/competitive desire to stay ahead in fitbit steps wink -- my only concern is for your safety. laugh:laugh: :laugh: " You two are often very close and almost always on the top of my fitbit list of friends for most steps.

Hello all. I am semi knew to MFP. really new to the communities board. Overall I would love to lose 100 for now my goal is to lose 63 pounds. I'm tired of being a chunky monkey. I need to exercise. Im not an over eater. However Im feel sloppy. My stomach is a hanging mess and its time for it to. Part of me wishes I had people to work out with to help motivate.. I guess in due time.. HELLO all:drinker:

Hello hello hello!!!!!! I am feeling really good, had a great NSV yesterday and today actually. :bigsmile: Had tons of fun trying on clothes yesterday (not usual). Everything I tried on was 14/16 and I looked great in everything (if I do say so myself) and this morning workout pants that used to be "low-rider" are now at my waist!!!!!!! Woo Hooooooooo!!!!!!!:drinker:

Wednesday Wish: To do what it takes to whittle away this waist as much as possible before my cruise in September!

Tom- I love the pictures. I want to download some of those rock pictures to use with my students next year. They are simply fantastic.

Lauriek- Try this link, it is supposed to let you see some more pictures.

@Tom, oh my goodness yall did some great fishing, i know he had some muscles to reel that big fish in:laugh:

@caramel, that is a good nsv:flowerforyou:

Wednesday i believe is wish, well i always give my wish away like you all know from the past. So today Imathbeth you have my wish that you will soon have the desires of your heart. A job, not to be lacking financially, and brighter days.

Hello All!

I went to the lake with my third grade team from my district for a few days to organize ourselves for the upcoming school year. Ugh basically I have this week and next to get my house organized and then a week long family vacation and then all efforts focus back to the school year! AHHHH where did my summer go!

Robin good luck with getting a business off the ground.

Everyone who is going on vacation hope you have a great time. My wish for you is for safe travels and lots of fun.

Anna- I agree summer goes to fast for teachers. Enjoy the vacation.

Karen- The towns sound wonderful enjoy Albertville.

@Susan and Believeth - Thanks for your well-wishes and Wednesday Wishes for a new job. I'm actually pretty content right now, despite the poverty thing. When I left the job that was sucking my soul last November, I took an academic-year position at a Clinical Day Treatment in a hospital. I went into it knowing that it would end in June, so that makes it much easier. Since I'm student support instead of a teacher, and since my job officially ended, rather than being assured of a position in the fall, I didn't have the option of taking my pay over 12-months, but I took in a roommate to supplement my unemployment income, and I suspect that they will likely hire me for something when school starts again (if I want it - also exploring other options). Plus, this week they finally worked the kinks out of my (very simple) unemployment claim (which they had unnecessarily complicated) and released my payments!!! :bigsmile: So, it's really not too stressful to be unemployed at the moment, though I do have considerably less money than when I am working - it's actually quite delightful and I am really enjoying and making the most of my summer off!!!!

@Robin -Yep, I would think twice about the ironing too! :laugh:
@Karen - glad to hear you're having fun!! Hope you have a blast at the Tour!!!
@Laurie - the mountains and beach are both wonderful, but this time of year, I'd go beach! Sounds like you are doing great workouts with the new trainer! Good luck with the run!
@Angelika - I think I will pay forward the Wednesday Wish from Believeth - to your husband for fantastic success with his interview and that it all works out well for you and your family!

My friends and I have decided not to risk another severe-thunderstorm adventure, so we will not be paddling down the river on Saturday. We have, however, decided to give it a try tomorrow, if I can get the camping reservation changed. Fortunately, they were both able to change their schedules. Unfortunately, the only way to reserve a site is to mail the request at least two weeks in advance, then wait for them to mail a permit back, so I'm not at all sure I will have success when I call the number tomorrow, asking for a change. If that doesn't work, we have decided to just go hiking again, though this time, we will go to a place where we can park about a mile from camp, set up, and just do some day hiking without the heavy packs. It's supposed to be 93 tomorrow, so we don't want to overdue it in the heat, but this is the only week we can all go, and heat is a bit more manageable (hydration) than lightning (thanks for the good advice, Laurie).

@Tom - thanks for the well-wishes for my trip to visit my dad on the trail. Unfortunately, that trip is off, because he broke a bone in his foot on Sunday, and this year's thru-hike quest is over. :sad: I may be able to change the ticket to fly to their cottage in Oregon for a few days, which is where he will be recuperating. Otherwise, my brother will be able to re-deposit the miles he used to get the ticket in his frequent flyer account (my parents will thankfully pay the fee). As for my dad, he had an amazingly wonderful adventure, hiked over 700 miles, met some really wonderful people, and can't wait to go back out next year (at the tender age of 75) to complete the trail - only 1922 miles to go!! :laugh:

Robin here is one more post to help you get closer to number 500 and roll over this thread. I always get anxious when looking for the roll-over. Starting a business is hard work and it will take a lot of time and energy. I think I would bored with ironing after awhile.

beth- Sorry you had to change your plans but most likely a wise choice, storms can be really bad especially when front (warm and cold) collide.

Welcome to the new members, it is always great to see new faces and the ones of those who are returning.

Well, I failed to meet my trainers challenge with regard to food and switching meals around just wasn't into it today. I did stay under calories so that should help some.

Tomorrow will be a busy day- gym, may swim(???), massage, feed a friends dogs, then may go out later for drinks. Plus it's going to be hot again. Oh Well, I will get things done. The swim may wait depends on how I feel after the gym tomorrow.

@Laurie and Robin - does this help?

BUMP towards 500!
