    kelly...I think you might want to edit this thread to show the title being week 12 b/c everyone doesnt see any difference from last week and a few people have posted in last weeks thread.

    hey all you smokin green peppers!! yeah, the weekend is here...for some reason, i have been tired today...:yawn: guess i didn't git enuf sleep in LV :happy: ....got my laundry all done and me and dh had a nice grilled steak for supper :tongue: not sure what the weekend will hold, but i need to git some fruit and veggies, and hope to stop @ a farmer's market too. anyone else joining me in the C25K come Monday, or next week anytime for you....?

    kitn ~ i agree, cute pic of u & the hubs :smooched: the weather has been so extreme in many areas...kinda weird. i don't mind a cloudy/rainy day once in a while, but too many and i get down. :frown: did you get to the gym?

    christi ~ mmmm, Sangria is my FAV :tongue: :drinker: well, my sis and i did the most, since my mom couldn't really keep up. we went to the top of the Stratosphere, which was cool...i think every town/city should have an observatory tower! it is so neat to see everything! we saw the Bellagio fountains in daylight and evening..so, so beautiful! we stuffed our belly's at some awesome buffets at Treasure Island, Harrahs and Paradise (? not sure what hotel/casino, but it was downtown LV), saw the flamingo's at the Flamingo, did the Freemont St experience...my sis is a shopper and we stopped in every store i swear. she didn't gamble much b/c of that! the double decker Deuce bus was a lifesaver. will do that first thing if i ever return. i learned much and it seemed by the last day we knew our way around pretty good...UGH! lot's of Walgreen's which was nice. saw a couple outdoor bar/bands. and impersonators that worked the tables and would sing in our hotel, was pretty funny. i would love to take my dh there this fall, but he says we cannot afford it....seems like that his answer to everything. there is so much to see in the US and he has turned down many opportunities....and i love to travel....it is always, always worth the expense to me!

    jacque ~ girl, you are havin some tough times here....plz do take care. sounds like you have done a pretty good job this week with the walking and eating. i am so ** PROUD ** of YOU!! hope all goes well with your daughter, keep us informed. yes, the heat took a toll on me.....it is so piercing...i drank so much water and am sure i peed in every casino :happy: it was like 112-114*...how do you do it? my mom, sis and aunt really sweat, and i guess i have always been a drier person that way, but i will say i sweat more here in Iowa with the humitdy and heat. YES !! the stairs will be great. i will visit my basement a lot just to do this! it really is good for the legs! :wink: hang in there and i hope your weekend is a peaceful one *hugs* :flowerforyou:

    purrr ~ OMG!! you gonna have selilng rites to you wt loss formula?? haven't you lost like 85 lbs in 6mos? i am sooooo happy for you! it has been inspiring to follow you on your journey! i am still obese here at just over 5' 3 1/2. i think i have to get to 170 or so to be in the over wt category. that is like 15 lbs away! you are gonna be at your goal in no time! what do you think about your loss so far? any advice to the rest of us?

    well, wishing you all a healthy and happy weekend. i like what jacque has been doing too, like posting her goals, daily and positive behavior over negative. think i will start doing that. just comparing me now to a few months ago, i have been slipping....but it is Aug, and i still want to be that healthier person, and for me, this is 6+ mos at losing wt....i am NOT giving up...i want it so badly. i just want to be done with trying to lose wt, ALL the time, and be the person that is living a healthy lifestyle every day. it is up to me....i MUST CHANGE!

    morning, greenies! just popping in to share my monthly stats before i head to the garden as i have some work to do there... i have lost about the same as last month, it's been about the same every month so far in fact...

    ss_030.jpg

    i will try to take a pic today, since the last one i showed (in pink clothes) was taken on July 1st, this way you can see the exact difference a month made...

    i really don't know what advice to give you... i am also wondering why are many of you stuck at about the same weight for so long, i didn't lose all the weight in the same way and so far everything works the same way... my best advice, once again, would be to try and eat clean since i suppose you don't want to go raw like me... take more calories in liquids, for example i've been on tons of watermelon recently - it's in its season now and i totally love it... i actually "blame" the huge weekly loss on it - it basically consists of water, rather than melon...

    gotta run, catch ya later and give me a challenge :wink:

    hey purrr!! you r such a wonderful inspiration...i wish i had your willpower! you r gettin so thin....you must be on top O' the world! you are transforming right in front of us! i have never known anyone like you and i must say i am proud and i admire you! :heart: i know why i have not moved much lately at the scale, and it is only my fault. i need to take every day seriously about my health....and well, the last 15 yrs or so, i just didn't care, and it has been a struggle trying to change so much of the horrible habits i have let myself live. i guess i need to be more mindful of my meals, planning and preparing. i know that does help, and making sure there is an abundant supply of fruits and veggies. eating clean really isn't that hard from what i have read and seen others talk about. i know you will succeed and i too want to follow in your footsteps....i am not giving up on me. your inches lost chart is proof even if the scale didn't show otherwise, but you have excelled in wt loss and inches lost! so, when are you going to publish a book! :explode: :laugh: Purrr's Plan....i am honored to know you purrr, you are the best and a fine example of someone that is living in pure health. thanks for always caring about us and sharing your 'changing lifestyle'! :flowerforyou:

    how r things goin with the men? hope you are having fun and that you are happy! :heart:

    Good Morning peppers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Wow alot going on, well dd surgery will be on her ankle.she is very athletic. It appears at tunbling a week and a half ago for cheerleading her ankle got caught under her other ankle and twisted he heck out of it, she was having alot of pain and I took her to the ortho doc. It appears that from a previos injury ( fracture to the same ankle that ended up in a cast) did not heal right. her ligament is torn in half and she had 4 pieces of chip bone floating around. So now it gotta be taken care of. Compettetion don't start till November, which she has worked so hard for. So she all upset but the doctor and the coach assure her she should be fine in time for competiton but she is worried that is not true. (teenagers)
    Anyway no weight gain YAY!!! but no loss either, but I do know it because of the crap we been eating, money really tight right now so I been buying what ever on sale.
    My ex is finally going off the deep end, so child support has not been like it should, he on unemployment so its been reduced, but instead of trying to get a job he is learning hebrew because he has decided to move to Isreal because the end is near. Now I am a christian and I do believe things look a little more like its going that way but no one know the day or hour, but I sure do not think going to Iseral will make a difference, unless there something I don't know....... well anyway just a thought not sure where I was going, I guess its hard since I been stuggling to make ends meet and he lives in a nice house got car, truck,motorcycles and takes vacations. its hard and he got a new wife (one month after the divorce) and its been Five years and I still can't climb out of this debt he helped put me in. oh well
    Well got to get going, got to go change my Aunt dressing and go see my nephew he leaves next week for football camp in Iowa, he got a college scholarship for William Penn we are so happy for him, he going to major in second educatiuon-math and high scool coaching

    Hi all! Purrr your pic looks hot and not sure where you even see flab////////:noway: I guess I just have to take accountability, I am stuck at this weight by my own doing. But by still being here, it's better than giving up completely so I feel better stuck around here than back up where I was before. jac - how the hell can he afford a ticket to Israel on unemployment? my bf's checks are only 275 a week and that is the max!

    busy day here....son arrived home early this am from Canada....i missed him SO much. went to the inlaws..visited and road around on the atv. nice day and finally in the upper 70's, low 80's. i guess Iowa set a record for the coldest July ever. average temp was 68* :noway: but i think its going to warm up just in time for school!

    anyone joining me in the C25K tomorrow? just getting ready to print off schedule.

    jacque ~ hope everything goes well for your dd. i bet she will be ok in time for the tryouts too....what a fun time for her. keep us updated.... is your nephew going to U of I for camp? how cool, my son is taking secondary education in history and minor in economics. sorry to hear about the issues w/ex. you are doing so much to maintain stability in your children's lives....always know how important you are to them, even tho they can be real challenging at times. they love you and rely on you for much. hang in there and take one day at a time....yesterday is done and tomorrow isnt here yet. take care *hugs* :heart:

    well, hope the rest of the SHGP are doing good. another week starts for us, and lets all be positive and take our health serious!

    On the plus side I kept so busy over the week end I lost a pound when I weight in this morning, so that felt great. hope to get on a good head start woth the kids being at camp this week, I finally get a week to be all about me. While they r gone I am gonna get my hair, nails done and enjoy the no cooking scene. I loaded up on salad stuff so my stove and oven gets the week of too
