Thursday QOTD: I LOVE summer and am having fun being be more active outside. Sadly schools are back in-session soon here, and I saw Halloween candy at the grocery store this week. :noway: So with summer winding down what is still on your to-do list? And what has been the best part of your summer so far?
Best part of my summer so far ... celebrating my oldest two children's high school graduation. I've loved the tie I've had to spend with all 4 of my children.
Winding down .... I'm having a hard time thinking about it. My semester will start on August 22 and I am not looking forward to it. I just keep telling myself, 2 more semesters, 2 more semesters.0 -

Wednesday Question -
Rob Lowe has always been mine, back to the "Brat Pack" days in the 80's
Thursday
To do list - schedule my daughter's senior pictures (yes, I think we are both in denial and dragging our feet), shopping for what she needs for schools, and getting her registered one more time for the SAT.... scheduling the rest of my vacation time before end of fiscal year at work too (September)
best part so far - really taking the time to focus on my health this summer. The 1/2 marathon training has been awesome so far, in spite of hot and not so great runs! Also, as much as I'm in denial about a young adult in the home, we've really had a great summer in terms of seeing her maturing into a terrific woman!0 -
Thursday QOTD ~ To Do List AND Best Part of Summer
We are moving this weekend! There is a lot to do, but it is exciting.0 -
Sorry I haven't had time to log on the past few days.. crazy wedding season!!
Mon QOTD: My biggest achievement other than this little weight loss is also overcoming cancer at the age of 15, and I was extremely obese back then because of it. I was in remission for 11 months and missed out on a lot especially being held back in my studies but I continue to carry on with it and not let my age hold me back.
Tues QOTD: I haven't lost that much weight this time around, but my first 2 stones were lost about last year and people noticed the changes when I had lost about 10 pounds.
Weds QOTD: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my ultimate celeb crush is..
DANIEL HENNEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thurs QOTD: Best part of summer has been the countless weddings to go to without feeling that obese anymore (although I'm still overweight) and spending time with my family x
My to do list.. Pass my driving test, lose weight, start on my dissertation!0 -

Summer ending :sad: Well, if it's anything like it was last year here, we'll have summer well into November and almost December :noway: . Oh, how I love an Indian Summer! This summer, I did not have a to-do list. I graduated, searched for a job, and the rest was just to relax! It was so great to have a summer where the biggest worry I had was trying to find a job, and knowing I still had a job when school started if I didn't find one. While I am still searching for a job that actually pays something that I can live off of, I have no other to-dos! I just graduated college in May, so I was excited to not have to worry about school. Just having a great, relaxing summer! I still have some weight-loss goals for summer though. I would love to be 170 by August 22 (yearly doc appointment), but since I was injured not sure if I'll quite make it.
The best part of my summer had to be my cousin's wedding. She was so beautiful, the weather was perfect for an outside wedding (some might have said too hot), and I was able to sing for her! I had so much fun, I didn't realize how much I missed singing. I'm hoping to be able to do more weddings now!0 -

Hey Summer is only just starting over here in England! The best part of my summer so far is going to the beach and spending hours playing with my 5 year old sister. (Big age gap :laugh: ). I'm looking forward to going away on holiday. Not going anywhere special, just 45mins down the road.0 -
Summers really aren't that special to me. I prefer fall by far! So I guess I'm excited that summer is coming to an end. The best part was making the decision to participate in a 1/2 marathon. It will be in Septmember, so it is still on my to do list. I feel like there are a lot of things left on my to do list when it comes to my weight and changing my habits. However, so far this summer, I have not add an beer /wine /alcohol in over a month and I have been able to limit my diet sodas to one per day (most days anyways).0

Still on my to-do list: I still need to go school shopping for my oldest daughter (supplies and clothes) We need to get this house unpacked and cleaned up. I need to find a job for when my husband and daughter start back to school (husband's a teacher). I would really like to go to an amusement park sometime before it gets too cold, but I really need to get myself to where I'm comfortable first because I don't want to spend the day out in the heat with jeans and a big t-shirt.
Best Part: We got moved into our own home. We got to spend time with some of our family. I started losing some weight finally and feeling a little more comfortable with myself.0 -

I have two sisters that are 14 and 19 (13.5 and 8 year difference) I also have a 10 year old brother. My husband has two brothers that are 10 and 11 (19 and 18 year old difference) lol, we know all about the big age gaps

Usually I would take a week off to hang out with my kids and take them to the pool or the beach. I’ve been working part time and can’t afford to take a week off but I need to take at least 1 day off and take my 8 yr old son to a water theme park. We like to go to Wild Rivers in Irvine, CA. It is only about 20 minutes south from us. At least this weekend, my cousin is having a pot luck pool party at his house and we are looking forward to that. The bad part is my 19 yr old daughter just had her surgery last week and she is going to be bummed if she cannot get in the pool.
We also have Knotts season pass so at least I have taken my son to that but he missing pool parties and going to the water park. Only 4 more weeks and back to school for my son. I think only a couple of weeks for my daughter back to college.0 -
Wednesdays QOTD: Who is your Celebrity Crush?
I would have to say Idris Elba....I wish I knew how to post pictures because he is a beautiful sight.lol:blushing:
Thursday QOTD: So with summer winding down what is still on your to-do list? And what has been the best part of your summer so far?
Well first thing first, I need to get back on the ball with working out. Since the beginning of summer my weight loss has stalled. Too answer the second part of the question, the best part of summer was making up with my boyfriend
. Love could have something to do with my weightloss stall. 0 -
Mmmmm... Paul Walker! I love him... he's so pretty! And the best part is he actually reminds me of my husband. They have the same hair color, eyes, body type even the same height... It's crazy!
love him too, forgot about him...he reminded me also of my first baby daddy (in my mind, of course) vin diesel...fast five was a great movie, can't wait for the next one!0 -

Summer is ending! I just got my back to school agenda from our new principal, ugh! It went by way way too fast.
My to-do list, clean the house from top to bottom one more time before going back on the grind. I just came from my annual visit (with flying colors I may add!) and I'm taking my babies (two dogs) to the vet next monday and thats it.
The best part of this summer...finally finding balance between being able to eat out at restaurants and still stick to my nutrition goals..being able to drink without blowing my calories for the day or days sometimes! Finding a new workout that I love! Have I told you guys how much I love crossfit, lol...yeah I know I'm trying not to talk about it so much now! But most importantly, I have no regrets for ANYTHING I have done this summer as I have in the past..I tried my best with eating healthy, working out and feel I did a damn good job! I've been dodging my workclothes cuz I want to try on all of them before the schoolyear starts before I donate them, I know they are too big now..I should be around a size 14ish now...my goal is a size 10 (so I can be "my" perfect 10) and I'm well on the way. Okay, I know this is too long, but I'm ecstatic about the drs visit going so well, now off to do some more schoolwork (did I mention I started grad school this summer)0 -

Feeling a little down today.Had a mole removed earlier in the week and the drs office called today to say that it was abnormal, yet benign.But they said that dark moles like that can turn into malanoma so they need me to come back in to have any dark moles removed. I'm sure I will be fine, but I am freaking out a little and feeling very nervous & anxious. And so is my husband.0

For us in the UK our summer is just starting assuming it ever gets here, weather can be very changable, but you try as much
as possible to carry on regardless.
I have four weeks of holiday play scheme for my eldest and then her sister breaks from nursery (day care) then they get to go and stay with grandad for a week before we join them for our family holiday. then back to work for us and nursery for youngest and then a week later eldest starts her new primary school. (ekk I have a child of school age!)0 -

We have had AWFUL weather this year, which is sad because we have snow for like 8 months out of the year. No joking...we haven't been without at least some rain EVERYDAY for the past 2 months!
What is on my summer to-do list? I'd like to go swimming...that would definitely be nice...and lay in the sun.
My best part so far? I did get to go camping twice so far. It rained the whole time...both times.
WooHoo...PITY PARTY! :sad:0 -

Scary stuff! I'm glad to hear that it is not malignant though. My dad had Melanoma...it will be way better to get them removed now and checked than to have something show up later. I'm sending you positive thoughts :flowerforyou:0 -
Sorry I have been M.I.A. I did an interview for a local paper today with my husband and sons. She wanted to talk about the boys and Down syndrome. I was so nervous and I am still worried about all the pictures they took- I hope I look ok.
Ok, Tuesday 7/26/11 QOTD: When co-workers, family, and/or acquaintances start noticing our weight loss and physical fitness improvements it's the ultimate compliment and encouragement. How soon, or how many pounds lost, did people start noticing how your lifestyle change was changing your body?
*Either no one notices my weight loss or they just don't say anything. I am down 39 pounds since the boys were born and other than a very few comments no one mentions it.

I really want to run a 5K. There is one in September and I need to get in shape mentally to do it. I think physically I can do it but there is a mental issue that I need to overcome.0 -

I have really enjoyed swimming with my boys this summer. Being a lot lighter than I was last year I am not as self-conscious about being seen in my swimsuit so there have been many more trips. We have even gone to a water park and are planning one more trip. I wish we would have spent more time at our local parks and camped out, but it has been miserably hot for the last three weeks. That is definitely on my list for the next week or two.,0 -
I hate to sound cheesy but the best part of my summer has been getting into a great exercise program that I've been able to stick to all summer
)).
My TO-DO List has two things:
1) lose this weight!
2) find a good job0 -

People have just begun to notice and I’d actually prefer they didn’t say anything. Several people have asked what I’m doing so I tell them about MFP and tracking food. They seem disappointed, like they were expecting a miracle diet. Nope, it’s all about mathematics and choices. Bor-ing!QOTD 7/27/11 -- Who is your Celebrity Crush?

Not a big fan of summer. I hibernate and become more active in the winter months so I’m looking forward to a change in season. I always have a revolving to-do list. I’m a list person. What's on it? The biggies: get kids ready to go back to school in a week and a half, transition to a new job, and keep up with MFP. Smaller: mop the floor, pay off bills, and create a workable menu.
It's not necessarily the best part of summer but my teenager had a pretty serious head injury two days before school let out so this summer has been never ending doctor’s appointments with neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists and weekly physical therapy. He’s fine and doing super terrific so maybe that’s the best part of my summer. Man, I love that kid!0 -
Good morning everyone!! I have a couple of days of questions to catch up on -

- I have not really had any comments for a while. the last time I lost a significant amout of weight was about 6 years ago and at that time I was a teacher and took to wearing baggy and shapeless clothes everyday. To be honest I was at about 175 lbs (10 lost) and I was so unhappy in my own skin that I did not want to be noticed.
Now I can't wait untill people comment on my weight loss this time as I am much happier with who I am. If they like my results from MFP and want my help getting them themselves I will be happy to help them. Bring it on!!

- we have had an awful summer so far here in Scotland. It feels like we have only had a handfull of nice days, so hopefully we have quite a few more before heading into Autumn. We are also just at the beginning of the Edinburgh festival (which used to mean constant drinking for me; we will need to see how I handle that this year!!) so I hope I can mange to go and see some good comediens this season. I would also still love to spend some time sitting out in one of our local parks reading and enjoying the sun.
So far the best part of this summer to me was going to see Take That in concert. It was pouring down the night we went to see them, but my friend and I jumped up and down, sang and danced like we were teenagers again. I truly loved feeling like a teen and that I had no cares in the world except what the next song would be!0 -

Alright everyone, here is my public confession. If everyone knows, then maybe everyone can keep on top of me to make the right choices. I've been doing terribly lately. I was so stressed out about getting ready to move, then I was stressed out about cleaning and getting everything unpacked. We went out to eat a lot because there hasn't been a lot of food in the house and we've been traveling a lot lately. We also didn't have the water filter hooked up to the faucet (and I haven't been able to make myself drink from the faucet yet) so my water intake has been very low. Yesterday I bought a big thing of water to drink, and some healthier meal options. I'm getting myself back on track. If for no other reason than because I feel like crap for bringing the team down.0

I'm sure I will be fine, but I am freaking out a little and feeling very nervous & anxious. And so is my husband.
its completely understandable to be worried, I think we all would be. Just try to stay positive and remember everything happens for a reason and it will work itself out. Try to stay calm and relax, at least you know what's up instead of delaying going to the dr. like alot of people do. good luck and everything will be fine, girlie!0 -
