    Hi ladies! Yeah...my life continues to be busy crazy! ;D
    Weight loss is happening really slowly....but atleast it's happening!

    I just spent all morning hand sewing on girl scout badges and patches on all 3 of my granddaughters vests...and on 2 other vests from girls in 1 of my troops. My pointer finger on my right hand is hurting!!!! (No, I don't use a thimble, but right about now I wish I had!) These GS badges...the ones that are supposed to be iron on...well, they don't always iron on that well. Plus...some of the patches are so thick, I can't use my machine to sew them on because I break needles left and right...and to hand sew them on, I have to use a needle-nosed pliers to pull the the needle through the badges.

    Enough of my complaining! lol Good luck everyone on your weight loss for this coming week!

    Morning all! I have come to a realization... I have not been giving "me" my best efforts. I am letting life happen to me, instead of making my life happen. I seem to always be "waiting" for my dreams to come true, instead of actively pursuing them. I need to put in the "hard work & dedication" (BL Quote) if I want results.

    Some of us had incredible weeks - reaching weights that haven't been seen since High School! (insert happy snoopy dance of joy here for your achievements)

    Some of us are doing everything we know to be right, and our bodies don't seem to be cooperating - to this group, I say keep up the hard work! Your results will pay off even if your patience is being tested.

    Some are struggling with life getting in the way - taking on too much, forgetting to fit "us" in there somewhere...
    Some are sort of (for lack of a better word, and I only say this b/c it describes ME of late) "half-a**ing it".

    So, yes, there are irritating things in all of our lives outside of our control - but at the end of the day we will feel best if we can put our heads on our pillows & think to ourselves "you know what, in spite of all the craziness, I gave my best today".

    Here's to a triumphant week for us all!!

    Hugs,
    Amy

    well i did it...i completed my 1/2 marathon in under 3 hrs....2:54:54, so pretty much 2hrs and 55 minutes lol....

    it was an amazing experience and i'll be doing a post and/or a blog soon, i have to get pics from the 2 girls i ran with - we took turns taking pictures so we didnt have to keep our phones out the whole time....

    quick jump on the scale shows me up to the high 170s but i'll push forward this week as planned and hopefully by next monday i'll be back down and if not i'll record my actual weight then...

    great job to everyone who lost this week and to those that didnt, hang in there, it will come....stay with it...

    good job to everyone this week.

    so i thought i'd share . . .

    2 years ago today, i walked into JCPenny looking for a new bra . . . i literally couldn't find one that fit in our whole town!!

    a worker asked me if she could help me and i lost it . . .
    we had just adopted our second daughter (our 5th child, so life was busy at home) and i was so sleep deprived, needed a new haircut, nothing fit, was living on milk duds, and life was just difficult!!
    i was also 225 pounds . . . my highest weight ever (aside from pregnancy).
    she gave me a hug and at that point i realized i needed to do something. (crying in penny's was for sure a low point)

    The next day (march 1st) i started keeping track of my weight loss and wrote it down weekly.
    that first year, i just cut out sugar and walked! i lost about 55 pounds from March-December.

    About this time last year, i stopped caring and over 5 months gained about 15 pounds back . . .

    Late last summer, i looked at pictures from summer vacation and was horrified at what i had gained back.

    August 2nd, i started MFP and have lost 41 pounds!
    I've learned so much being here and i truly love the challenge groups . .. this one has been my favorite!!

    I am literally 1.5 pounds from my goal weight . . . what i weighed 19 years ago on my wedding!!

    anyway - i wish i could figure out how to post pictures - i have a great before/after one. when i do, i'll be sure to post.

    Keep up the good work, everyone!!
    it's way worth it!

    thanks for listening:-)

    thurberj - "amazing"... :blushing: Thanks Jody. :-)

    Vacationista - Great going on still exercising while you were traveling on business.

    mrsgstone - 6 lbs in 6 weeks... I totally think you can do it!

    rosiebug - I think it is fantastic that you did so well not doing emotional eating. :flowerforyou:

    Pam3 - Good luck with all of the changes coming up.

    Ncytiz & SenseAtional - YAY for getting to your high school weights!

    ysamatar & redbird99 - Woo hoo for inches lost!

    Jewcybabe - "learn to not underestimate myself"... GREAT!

    AmyByExample - Thank you so much for what you shared.

    bluiz13 - Great job on your 1/2 marathon!

    dajndae - Thank you so much for sharing your story. What a true inspiration you are! Here is how to post pictures (since we'd LOVE to see them)...

    1) Upload your picture to an online storage site like Flickr or PhotoBucket.
    2) You might need to resize your picture (640x480 is a good size. Somewhere between 340 and 640.).
    3) Copy the image code for the picture of your choosing (Code will have at the beginning and at the end.).
    4) Paste the code into the "reply" box on MFP.
    5) **VERY IMPORTANT** Change the and to a lowercase img and /img or the picture won't show up.

    Example:

    thisisnotarealpicture.jpg

    For the picture to show up you would have to change the capital IMG to lowercase img in the front and back of the example link.

    Congratulations to everyone that met or exceeded their mini goals! For those that didn't reach them but have still been losing... great! For those that are having a hard time with their eating/water/exercising... time to dig deep and find it in you to change. You can do this! We are here to help!

    Congrats to cmpettey, Ncytiz, bellamia88, julidav, RaindropWishes, SallyCC, ChristineHetz80, Sailingsal, nekosimba, and rosiebug on being this week's winners of losing!

    A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to RaindropWishes for being our, overall, biggest loser of pounds AND percent!

    Would a couple of our winners please give us a mini challenge for the week? Thanks!
