    Good Morning everyone!! Welcome to the all the new people. I still am not feeling the greatest today. However, I am going to try to get in some walking today. I didn't do anything yesterday. I don't think I am going to meet the challenge this week, but that's okay. I will try again.

    Good morning everyone!

    Laura- Glad to hear that you are feeling a little better today. It is definitely harder to focus on nutrition & exercise when you aren't feeling well.

    Merryxmas- great job on almost getting all of your exercise challenge done and its only Thursday.

    To everyone new- Welcome! So glad to have you. Together we can do this.

    I have to confess I am a big one for preaching only weigh once a week and I got on the scale this morning (midweek) and was disappointed :grumble: because it hadn't moved. I am trying not to let it affect my day and attitude. I mean really! Two people have told me this week that I look thinner and I feel good, so why should I let that darn number on the scale get to me?! Okay, maybe I need a swift kick in the booty. Just tell me "Stac (you can call me that), enough of the complaining. Pull your self up by the seat of the pants and focus on what you can do today."

    I'll check in later.

    Happy losing,
    Staci

    Staci, thanks. I am not feeling the best still and therefore I took today off from tracking my food and exercise for today but will be right back to it tomorrow.

    That is the key.....to just stick with it. Don't give up when you don't track or have a splurge, you just pick it right back up.

    Good Morning Everyone!! I got my daughter Anna Grace off to school and now I am home with Jacob. I am going to try to fix my bike but if I can't I will do some kind of exercise. I am right back on it today and for that I am proud b/c I know what to do and I know that I can do it.

    Happy Friday my Fantastic Fitness Friends.

    Laura- I am glad you are feeling better. I'll pray that you can fix your bike.

    I have just committed to starting a team for a Relay forLife event in June. I am a little nervous as it is my first time doing this event and also taking it on as a team captain. However I am not new to participating in walking type cancer events (I have walked the breast cancer 3 day twice. I figure if I can go 60 miles in a weekend then surely I can go with a relay team for 24 hours right!?:huh:
    My daughter convinced my hubby to do it with us and my older son and his girlfriend say that they will as well. My biggest surprise is that last night my mom said she would too. She said she may not be able to walk her whole shift at once but she would do her best. My Hubby and I told her that we will take over for her if she can't make it or just needs a break. I am so looking forward to this. I am so excited about it.

    So, its time for me to get off my fanny and either head to the gym or start cleaning my messy house.

    Have a great day and happy losing,
    Staci

    Thanks Staci. Well, I was not able to fix my bike so I guess I will be getting a new one next month. UGH, I hate that but I do have lots of exercise DVD's and it's going to be getting warmer here so I can get outside and go walking. I just hope and pray that we don't get any more snow Monday and Tuesday. The 8 inches we got are all gone now and I don't want any more. We couldn't get out of our driveway for 2 days. My hubby had to ride to his job with my dad. We are going to take our kids to the park this afternoon if my daughter was good in school and doesn't get a note sent home today. I am going to run and play with my kids if we get to go.

    Good Morning everyone!! I am so sore from my exercise yesterday. I walked for 66 minutes and burned 353 calories. So this weekend I may not be doing anything. I will be right back to it Monday though if I don't do any exercise. Who knows though, we are going to take the kids to the park this afternoon maybe and so I might get some walking in there. I hate that my bike is tore up and I can't wait to get another one. I hope you all have a great day!!

    Hi! You are all inspiring me SO MUCH! I lost 100 lbs. 10 years ago. For the most part, I have kept it off but these 10-15 lbs. keep sneaking back up on me. I am determined to not let them continue to grow. It's not easy, but so worth it. I want to encourage each and every one of you has 100 lbs. to go....If I can do it, you can do it. 11 years ago I was a two pack a day smoker, couch potato. With determination, a will of steel and some encouragement I accomplished many great things.

    Thanks for being here you guys and hats off to you.....

    Welcome Andrea!! This is a great site. I have been overweight since I was in middle school. I was about 215 when I married my hubby who loves me no matter what but I wish I could have worn a smaller wedding dress. I got pregnant with my daughter in 2004 and gained like 50 or 60 pounds and after she was born I didn't even try to lose the weight. In 2006 I got pregnant with my son Jacob and I only gained 18 pounds with that pregnancy. I lost 20 pounds after he was born but gave up and gained it all back. I started on this site on January 1, 2009 and lost 52 pounds but then I let life and stress get in my way and gained all the weight back plus 3 pounds. I deleted my account and then came back in September 2010 and lost 7 pounds but decided to wait till January 1, 2011 and I gained the 7 pounds I lost back during Christmas. I came back on January 1, 2011 and as of right now I have lost 9.8 pounds. I won't say that I am perfect. I have had 3 or 4 days where I went over on my calories, but the main thing is I got right back on it the next day and kept on going. Anyways, I don't know why I went into all of that but you can do this!! We can do this!!! I sent you a friend request.

    Awesome workouts for the week!!

    I learned something interesting at church today. It takes your body 50 calories to sustain a pound of muscle compared to the 2 to 3 calories for a pound of fat.

    Hello and Happy Sunday. I didn't get a chance to check in with everyone yesterday. I got up and just kept going until 1 am. I am so grateful that I can log in my food & exercise on my phone. So, I did not even get close to my exercise calorie burn for the week but I am going to start off this week with today and do my best to meet it.

    My family is coming for dinner tonight for a classic Italian meal. I have managed to reduce a few calories in some of the dishes and I don't think anyone will notice. But in order for me to stay in my net calires for today I am going to have to log out here and go for a run.

    Have a great day and happy losing,
    Staci

    Staci good job on reducing the calories in some of the dishes. Right now I am looking for some recipes that are reduced calories. I went to the library and checked out every cookbook that I could get my hands on wiht light cooking recipes in them.

    Hi everyone, I am sort of new here..I joined before but walked away..I should say waddled!
    About two weeks ago something in me said that its time..its REALLY time. Hurting my back and getting stuck in the MRI machine a week ago was quite a nice motivater..I had to get dressed and go to a facility with an open one..ughh!
    I am not being super drastic, Im not cutting anything out, Im just cutting back and counting calories.
    Even that is a challenge sometimes, but Im doing it and already feeling better.
    Heres a little bit about me- I turned 50 last March, although Im pretty sure Im still 25 lol..I am a driver for an overnight delivery
    company, I am married with no kids but 3 dogs. My job is very physical and hard for a fat ol' gal!
    I have always had an issue with my weight. I remember being a child and a relative telling me I would be fat because I was eating peanut butter. I have watched old home movies and I wasnt fat but I sure felt like I was. I was not thin either. Anyway I grew up with a complex which led to low self esteem and so on.
    One thing I know is that Ive lived my life by the "when I lose the weight, Im going to.." theory and look, the show is more than half over.
    I need to lose about 155lbs and reclaim my life, to stop living like there will always be time.
    So thats me.
    Oh by the way, Im 5'7"..or, I was..I think Im shrinking (damn menopause!) in height.
    Everyone in this thread seems to be so nice no matter where they are in their journey and I would love to join in!

    Welcome Donna & Weeb. It is great to have you join us. Together we can do this. We can get support from one another & in turn we can also support one another. It is great.

    Laura, I also searched online & in the library for recipes. My favorites actually come from a weight watchers cookbook. My hubby's favorites come from a south beach diet cookbook. there are tons of great ones out there.

    Gotta run get started with dinner prep.

    Happy losing,
    Staci
