    Hi everyone! I'm Destiny and I've been a member of the team for quite a while, but lately I haven't been very active. I'm trying to get better about that. I'm 34, a SAHM of four kiddos, 11, 9, and 5 year old girls and a 3 year old boy, living in West Texas. The weather here is getting nice enough for walks without melting.

    @cmhubbard92 I will have to check out that app. I just returned from being on leave for a week so am swamped at work but will check it out sometime. It's on my to-do list. LOL And I second the nice new profile pic comment!!

    @DaffyGirl88 Thank you and I hope you do get a chance to check it out! It is pretty neat! I hope you settle nicely back to work this week!

    Today was a surprisingly easy start to the week. I didn't get a lot of steps in at work, so I made up for it with a long treadmill walk because it was raining. Tomorrow's lunch is prepped, and dinner will be something easy. I can feel my mojo coming back, but I have to remember to stick with it!

    Hi, I'm Kristen and this is my second month on this site. I'm a refugee from SparkPeople. Glad to be a part of the challenge, working towards reducing those calories in.

    @kristiekay1962 I've been calling you Kristie all this time! Welcome, Kristen! How are you approaching your "calories in" dilemma? Do you need to eat smaller portions of the same foods you are currently eating, or do you need to look for more high volume, less calorie dense foods? Or is it possible to burn more calories during the day from exercise? Let us know if we can help you figure this out in any way.

    And only up a few ounces this week, so nothing that can't be undone in a short time.

    So, yesterday I got statements stuffed in envelopes and the main invoices all filed away. The rest can wait until I return from my trip. We leave on Tuesday the 12th for Prague to see our son and meet his new, serious, live-in girlfriend and possibly her parents. So, I really won't be around this thread much this month; this week getting ready to go, and we don't return home until the 21st. Our son left Canada a year ago tomorrow. Thankfully, due to the ability to video chat, I am okay with him being so far away, living his life and being very, very happy! Today, I have to go to the city for some serious shopping! I do not have any fall clothes that fit me! Such a sad statement to have to type out this morning :'( Wish me luck...I am a terrible shopper under the best of circumstances, and these are not those!!

    You can also call me Kris, I go by all three. I just need to cut out the sweets, with my work I deal with candy, treats and other goodies all the time, so it makes it tempting. And work has been stressful, since I work in health care. Just need to cut out 400 to 500 calories a day or increase my cardio.

    @rawrxamberx Yay Amber!! It is no coincidence that you strung a couple of days like Tuesday together, and then posted a loss come weigh-in day!! Keep stringing, and keep losing!!
