    Thanks! He's having surgery today (more about that in my blog), so I'm praying that everything goes well.

    WELCOME everyone! The more we have here, the merrier!!

    Just wanted to let VishousBabe know that my puppers is home! He came through the surgery with flying colors!!! *GO CHAMPIE!* Hi little cast is sooo adorable! He is still very woozy now, but even so he wags that tail of his a mile a minute to let us know that he hears us! I'm so glad to have him back with us. This house was very empty without him. I thought poor Rockie (our other dog) was gonna go crazy!

    Ok, that's all!

    Just curious...

    Is anyone out there following a specific diet plan, per se? If so, how are you doing on it?

    I've done that plan before. Don't forget fat-free and dairy free!

    My kit FOREVER to arrive! The plan definitely works...when and if you can get used to the I'm a southern girl and can't stand the taste of unsalted food, so I was doomed from the get-go. I was willing to cut back on salt, but not willing to cut it out completely. Shoot, we weren't even allowed to use salt substitutes:noway: . I guess you could say I went into the plan the wrong way. Had I been smart like you and checked out the site to see all the things we could and couldn't have, I probably would've never tried the plan.

    Like I said, it does work. One of my friends lost 100 pounds on it in about 9 months. I sense that you are much stronger than I was, though. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

    Tish

    Oh and one of my friends here is doing the SWBMO and has lost 34 pounds since June 17th. Soon, it'll be your turn. GET OUT THERE AND KICK SOME SERIOUS BOO-TAY, GIRL!!!

    It sure does! Especially in the regular 1, 2, and 3 mile walks. Sheesh! It's not so bad in the Miracle Mile series, which are the ones I do.

    Since my hubby likes the mountains and the beach, I'm planning on making a reservation before time, do I sound like a dork, I mean, I'm like 178 lbs away from my goal and here I am being lovey lovey :blushing:

    I am not sure what I want to do when I reach my goal... So I will stick with the next goal on the list. I want to do a 5K on October 4th. I loved it before when I was in great shape and was able to walk 15-18 miles in a day. I WILL be there again. I had a pretty good start today though... I got in an 80 minute walk with a Border Collie. I hope to d othe same tomorrow. It has been so long since I did any walking that a mile seems like a long ways... Oh-another goal-to get to where I am consistently walking 10-12,000 steps a day. 10,000 makes you active... 12,000 is very active. I made the 10K today... one day down...

    Have a great night!

    Next year I am going to do the 3 day walk for breast cancer. That is 60 miles in 3 days. I wanted to do it this year but my little on is attached at the hip right now and it is next month. My hubby cant take anymore time off for the year cause his vaca time is used. I would do it this year if I could find someone to watch my little one taht she would let watch her. Although 20 miles a day is alot when I just started exercising 3 weeks ago. Although last sunday I walked almost 4 miles in 1 hour. I could do it if I put my mind to it.

    There's no use crying over spilled milk, sweetie. What's done is done and you can't change it, so there's really no use in stressing yourself out even more.. The best thing for you to do would be just to keep on keepin' on. At least you didn't see a gain. Don't let one week discourage you. In the overall picture, this one week won't even matter. You're going to be just fine. I can't wait until you report next week how you've lost a gazillion pounds!:wink:
