Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

@Niki Cheek bones! Now there is a worthy goal. I had to go check in the mirror and mine seem to have gone missing! I suspect they are still there somewhere....

@Colleen Ditto too what Niki said about all those steps. Great job.

Hi all! Welcome, @Kenea993! Congratulations. on dropping 8lbs already. You're off to a great start.

Having a splendid day here in sunny Kansas. Got up at 6:45 and did my Miracle Morning routine (Day 34), cleaned the house, the laundry is almost done (need to finish putting it away), ran some errands, and figured out what to make for Sissy Night supper. I even had a big ol' salad for lunch!

We may hit 70 today (!), so I'm planning a walk in about an hour to hit my weekly workout goal.

Hi everyone, this looks like a lively thread so hoping I will get some motivation from you all!

My names Kali and I've spent all of my adult life overweight. Now I'm at a point where I really want to actually make per enact lifestyle changes but am finding this quite hard.

My 2 real goals are to eat clean (ie no processed rubbish in my meals and no junk food) and to do something active everyday. I have a personal trainer at the gym and weigh in with him every Wednesday. So my week tends to run weds-weds.

@mountmary84‌ How'd the tasting go? That's really nice they included you in that. Don't worry about the dance, if you're already working on getting healthy and knowing your goal, just chip away at it little by little!

@skinnyjeanzbound‌ What did you do to your shoulder? Sounds like one of the same issues I have had with my shoulder. Hope the PT helps! Just make sure you do the at home exercises, they make all the difference in the world when you actually do them. I was horrible at it lol. I also have horrible posture, which is very bad on the shoulders. Hope it starts progressing!

AFM - My final crazy busy week is over. My middle school basketball team I coach won the city championship last night, second year in a row! So proud of my girls, it was definitely a challenge. We were supposed to be taking both teams down to see a Boston College vs Notre Dame game tomorrow at BC as we take the girls every year to a game, but we had to cancel as yet ANOTHER snow storm coming in. Between Sunday-Tuesday we are going to get 12-18". I don't mind snow, but I'm getting sick of it ruining my plans, and killing my paychecks. I guarantee we will have Monday off from school, if not Tuesday too. Also, at this rate we are never going to get outside for softball! Try-outs start in 6 weeks, which is crazy to think!

I'm not sure if I wrote in here last week that I joined a transformation challenge at the place I do kickboxing at, but this was the first full week of it. I did pretty good with my exercise, so so with my nutrition. I really need to get on track with that. I was sick in the beginning of the week and barely at all, but then the end of the week its like I couldn't eat enough and was constantly hungry. Low and behold today began my TOM unexpectedly, so I'm sure that's a good reason for that.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

AFM~Got in a chilly 3-mile walk yesterday morning with friends, the sun was out but the wind sure made it chilly. Officially, on the scale I was down 1.2# this week--less than I wanted but I'll take it. Did some shopping yesterday, oh how Bed Bath and Beyond can be a dangerous store! Just put vegetable soup in the slow cooker (hard to stuff 10oz of spinach in a 6-quart slow cooker); pork tenderloin stir fry is planned for dinner later.

Happy Autism Sunday.
Autism Sunday was first held in 2002 during Autism Awareness Year in the United Kingdom. It was initiated by parents and carers Ivan Corea and Charika Corea, founders of the Autism Awareness Campaign UK. Parents of Charin, a teenager with autism spectrum disorder and a communication disorder, they urged leaders of religious organisations, churches, community groups and world leaders around the globe to speak up for people with autism and Asperger syndrome. What started as a small acorn of an idea in their home has turned into a huge international event. Autism Sunday is now celebrated across the world in many countries.
The first ever service for Autism Sunday was held at St.Paul's Cathedral, London in 2002 Autism Awareness Year, UK, initiated by parents and carers Ivan Corea and Charika Corea.
The first service for autism was held in February 2002 at St Paul's Cathedral in London. Former Education Ministers, peers from the House of Lords, celebrities, writers, broadcasters, and the media joined children and people at St Paul's Cathedral to pray for children and adults with autism and Asperger syndrome, as well as their parents and caregivers.
In 2008, the first Early Day Motion on Autism Sunday was tabled in the House of Commons, in the Palace of Westminster. The motion, EDM 874, was sponsored by David Drew MP and signed by 71 members of Parliament. It calls on the Government to work with all faith communities in order to reach out to parents, caregivers and people with autism and Asperger syndrome in local communities; and urges church leaders and community groups of all denominations to engage with people with autism and Asperger syndrome. The British Prime Minister, David Cameron extended his personal support for Autism Sunday.

Tom

Hi everyone, 45 yrs. married, mother of 4. I have been overweight half of my life now and like many of you at my heaviest. I am at 341 lbs and way tooo young to not be able to play with my kids. I have a son 23( with a 17 month son) my first grandchild, a daughter 22(who is 3 months pregnant) a daughter 11 and 8 yr. old son. So as you can see I still need to be running around back and forth. I have the strength to start and maintain this jurney I just need to keep motivated, I find that is my weakest link. I get bored, so here I am looking for motivational buddies. I just started this past Tuesday and are taking a different approach than last time I was here. Yes like many of you I also was here lost 40lbs in two months and gained it all back. It was intense, dieted (not healthy) worked out everday two even tree times a day and lost the weight fast but got drained. Now I want to take it slow and steady. Could use all the support I can get

A quick check in...not doing great on my calorie goal last week. Eek. I did great on exercise, though. Got some lifting in and walked a 5K with my husband and two kids on Saturday. So proud of my kids...it was the first time that either of them walked/ran an entire 5K. No wagon! My upper body and arms are so glad to not have pulled them around, and they were pretty proud of themselves. Highlight moment was about 1.5 miles in...my son, very determined says, "I'm going to finish this baby!" He's 6 and adorable.
