    Hi. I know it's a little late, but I just joined MFP.
    My actual goal is 2 -3 pounds a week.

    Is it too late to join you all?

    God bless!

    Jenn, great to see you... I've been away for so long, that I've been wondering what the latest scoop is on the wedding?! Also, I don't think I've ever told you, but I really love your signature quote about anyone can make a new ending. What a great inspiration! Wow, I'm super impressed about your 7 mile walk. Geez, here I was patting myself on the back for ~3 mile walk. I'm sure you're right about fluid retention in the muscles. Good luck on Friday's weigh-in.

    Thanks for the ego boost! You should be patting yourself on the back! 3 miles took me a long time to get up to and your be able to do 7 soon enough.
    As for the wedding... :cry:
    I called it off. I left him and moved back in with my mom. It has been reallllllly hard but I feel like it is for the best. Some of the long timers on this thread might remember a bit of my story but I waited a LONG time for that ring (9 1/2 long hard years) it comes down to different life goals and parenting style (or lack of life goals and parenting I guess). I think that he thought buying a ring would change our problems, but I didn't want a ring I wanted a partner and he is to selfish to give me that. I put up with a lot of crap and remained the bigger person, but when he broke a lamp in front of my daughter my mama bear claws came out and I left the next day while he was at work. I wont stand for that temper, most of all in front of our babies. I left everything but our clothes and the kids bunk bed. I wish I could have seen his face when he came home from work to see no dinner on the table and no family in the house. Hope he is happy by himself with all this toys that he put before his family cuz we are done and gone.
    I was only gone 3 days before he put my diamond ring on Craigslist. :brokenheart:

    On a better note, I am doing great on my weight loss without his bad eating influence and the kids both seem happy and maybe even a bit relieved.

    Thanks for asking, sorry the reply wasn't all happy color options and bridesmaid dresses. :laugh:

    Sorry you have been going through all of this but when you say the kids seems relieved I take that as a really good sign that they feel less stress. I know it was hard for you but I think you are a very strong person to realize what you want and walk away from what you did not want. My thoughts are with you.

    I did a 10 mile walk this afternoon. My feet really hurt, but I burned 1445 calories. Carleton college in Northfield MN has a great arboretum and walking there is so relaxing, but the last mile really was hard because my feet hurt. Now I don't feel so guilty about indulging in Crabfest and Red Lobster for lunch.

    Check out the ticker I am already at 73.5 exercise miles for the month.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    My weight often seems to spike on a Monday - not sure exactly why, my weekends are often hectic and I have to eat late or at irregular times, calorie intake doesn't seem to have a bearing ... maybe being tired makes you weigh more? Is that even possible? lol!
