    you did better on your cookies than i did. i ate twice if not 3xs that yesterday. anyway, they were good, made me feel crapy and it's over. they are put away and done.

    i did my c25k this morning and it felt really good.

    not much planned for today. i hear a chain saw behind me. i sure hope they aren't cutting down the trees. they were clearing this past week. it's commercial land. oh well. i can hear the traffic on the busy road more now with them just clearing the land. it just needed mowed. it was an old mobile home sales lot.

    lauryn what do you mean by age (menopause). are you saying we are OLD if we have or going through menopause? mine was forced at 39/40. i understand what you are saying. love ya.....:heart:

    well, going to see what's for lunch today and get some more things done around here.

    Good morning! I've been away from my computer a lot this weekend. My parents were here (still are until kiddos get home from school), and the computer is in the office/guest bedroom. I didn't do as well with my eating with my parents here either, so I'm hoping I at least maintain this week. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

    My son has been taking piano lessons for the past year. With my parents here, he played the prelude (piano duet w/ his teacher) at the beginning of church yesterday. He was just fine until he started seeing people walk in to the sanctuary. I could tell he was then getting nervous. He didn't do quite as well as he did practicing earlier that morning, but he did great. The best part was seeing the smile on his face when everyone clapped for him! :happy: I'm a proud mommy!

    :laugh: But that is EXACTLY what I mean!! Female bodies go through so many 'life stages' at various times that impact our weight loss!!! :laugh: I don't think you could compare a 20 year old's weight loss with a 50 year old's weight loss across the board. :wink: I'm not saying that holds true for everyone, but I know that plays a part, just like those with thyroid and other ...... um? 'issues'..... (I'm thinking of those with vitamin deficiencies and stuff).... have roadblocks that others don't face.

    :laugh: :laugh:
    Maybe we just group up based on drawing straws!! I wasn't trying to open a can of worms!!! :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    Awww. It is SO HEARTWARMING to see your kid smile when he is praised. It's better than receiving praise yourself!!! :smooched:

    Oh yeah.... does anyone want to see how many newbies we get next week and assign one to a veteran member. Just so we can keep up with them and encourage them on their first 6 week challenge with us?

    Just an idea..what do you ladies think?

    I love that idea. I think that is awesome.

    Like a Big Sister in a sorority!!! I think that is a great idea toooooo!!!!!!!!! WTG Tamm!!!!

    I think we should look at matching based on weight left to lose and age too. Different ages mean losing weight at different weights (I'm thinking menopause here.... slows your metabolism and weight loss, from what I know) , but you also want someone with similar goals.

    Some of the vets may end up with a couple newbies. :bigsmile:



    I think this is great idea. I am going through menopause so it wouldn't hurt my feelings to hook up with someone closer to my age and weight. I am sure this would work out to benefit each other.

    Well playing hookie from work today. Going golfing instead:bigsmile: :bigsmile: . Worked over the weekend anyway. So I decided to go have some fun instead. I haven't played golf in so long that this should be interesting.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Well girls have a great Monday and will talk at you later

    I would like to hook up with slightingale (susan) as my little sister. We both live in the west. And she is a year younger and wants to lose about the same amount of weight. I guess we need to see if she is still joining.

    can't wait to begin. i have been back on track today so far. doing great.

    Congrats Cathy!!!

    Kel- LOL. At least you are identifying with the stages of life we will all go through as long as we keep living! :)

    Lauryn- Big sis is a good idea.

    Sixers- I'm glad you all like the idea of partnering up. It will keep us on our best behavior as well. Im willing to take more than one if necessary!

    ttyl,

    Tamm:flowerforyou:

    I gained back a little more than a pound, which is really minor but not a happy trend. I need to be drinking my water!!! :angry: I'm getting angry with myself about that, and plan to fix it starting TODAY.

    I am excited that I finally met a challenge goal!!! I think it's been over a year since I've done that. WOOHOO!!!!
