Have a lot of reading to do to catch up but I was excited about my NSV and wanted to share. Scales didn't move again this morning. Was very discouraged and the throw in the towel voice was creeping in. When jenna got home from school I had her take a pic and compare it to one 2 months ago. Yeah there is a difference.
The voices are gone and I'm ready to take on the next 2 months.
These last 2 days have been trying. Spent 6.5 hours in ER w my dad this time. He keeps falling so they r trying to figure out why his legs keep giving out. When he is released he will have to go to a rehab place to get stronger.
Today is temp day for Cassidy. We r here now. I sure hope she passes if not someone might have to pick here up and take her cause I don't want to be n the car w her.7 -

Good job, Nichole!! Way to go, I can totally see the difference!!
And yes I hope she passes! Otherwise you will get an earful listening to her rant on the way home!! Fingers crossed!0 -
nice job Nichole, awesome NSV0

Looking good Nichole! Not to be a total perv, but not only is your tummy way smaller, but so are your boobies!1

Good morning people. It's Saturday. That means most of you are home from work. So...I am here to tell you to:
Go for a walk
go to the gym
dig in your garden
plant a tree
get on your bike
turn on that Zumba DVD
do something - anything
but get going no matter what.
You always feel better AFTER you do it, even if you didn't feel like doing it in the first place.
Besides...
You could be here in an hour....

Someone started messaging me and we were having a good chat until he started talking about *his family jewels*. I hinted that I wanted to talk about something else and he wouldn't, so I had to block him :-( I thought I made a penpal here. I was wrong.0

Hi everyone, my name is Alaina. My goal weight is somewhere between 120-125, currently I weigh 165 pounds. I've tried to lose weight many times before but I lose motivation and just go back to my old lifestyle. I think It'd be best for me to have friends that cheer me on to reach my goal and vice versa...0

Good Morning All.
Thanks for noticing the changes, and they weren't all in my head.
Cassidy passed her temps and is now able to drive. (that is as long as the mouth and attitude change) She also made cheer. Thank GOD because after the weekend I had that would have pushed me over the edge if I had to listen to her b@#$% about that. Jenna also hit her very first home run. yeah!
So my dad went to the hospital on Thursday for falling due to his legs giving out. Friday evening Jenna and I were on the way to the hospital when they called and said his heart stopped. they had to perform CPR for 15+ minutes. They don't know why it stopped but now he is on a vent. They tried giving him blood thinners but that caused bleeding in the belly so they stopped them. Dr. said they are between a rock and a hard place. Had to yell at him yesterday and tell him to get his head out of his *kitten* as he has things to do and places to be at the end of the month. I am praying to GOD he pulls through Jenna graduates and she wants to tell him about her home run. First my uncle dies (his brother) then my mom and now him. This last month or so is really sucking and trying my patients.
Thanks for listening to me vent. I will catch up with everyone once I do a little work.1 -
Hi I am a 40 year old mother of 6. I need some serious motivation and help to get started again. I have 100+ lbs to lose and can't seem to get started. I am doing great on my exercise which right now is tracking my steps. I am up to 12,000 a day and hoping to be at 20,000 by the end of the month. Need some serious friends that can help me stay the course....1

@ngolden3320 My thoughts go out to you and your father. I hope he continues to pull through and improve.
Also, great progress photos. You are the incredible shrinking woman!
Happy Belated Mother's Day to all Mothers here. I hope you all had a fantastic day!
Welcome Newcomers! Keep posting!
I had a great but overwhelming Mother's Day weekend. We saw Beauty and the Beast, which was an amazing performance. But then my Mom and Aunt wanted to go shopping at the Mall of America...on a Saturday. I was very proud of myself for making it though the crowds without going insane. I hate shopping and malls and crowds so it was definitely my nightmare, but I'm really glad I held it together and my Mom had fun.1 -
We had a great Mothers Day in western New York, was a little chilly with some rain...nothing changes. Had a great brunch with my family and then hit the mall for some errands (and to walk off the brunch). We were actually able to make the pups for a short walk in the afternoon between the drops.
Today we I have trainer and then yoga and pickle ball in the evening so it is busy day. Dinner will be apple chicken dogs on the grill so easy pessy.
Hope everyone has a great one.
@jkhoffe - what a great way to spend Mothers Day!
Nicole - we are all thinking of you. Just remember to you have to stay strong and healthy to help everyone get through. Mom always ends up holding everyone together so take some time and center yourself every morning if you can find it; even a few breaths. You will be in our thoughts.

I sent you an invite. I to have 100+ lbs to lose. I have been on my journey for 4 weeks and I have lost 24lbs thus far. You are way more active than I am so I know you can do this! You just have to believe in yourself! The struggles are real let me tell ya but you just have to put some blinders on and keep reminding yourself that the end reault will be sooo worth it.1
