Really, Howie? My birth name is Debra Sue. The name DebSue was bestowed on me in college, when no one could pronounce my last name. :) Now Im just like Madonna, Cher & Prince ... No last name required. Lol! Crazy name for a crazy 80's Dame, I guess B)

Hi Guys! I got up & "moved my moneymaker" for 5 miles while enthusiastically singing along to B52's radio on Pandora. FUN! I find fun, fast music is a big key for me, as my feet seem to keep tempo with the tunes. :) Favorite this morning was "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles. Please don't judge me. Lol! For two weeks…

HOORAY, Heron ... I was hoping you would join us! Tell me more about your I. F. Protocol :) Baby step, My Beloved Jen ... We're doin this TOGETHER, Girlfriend! Cheering you along & waving my Pom-Poms, Slim

Hammer, Jen, Howie, Carol & myself are "all in" so far ... <3 AUGUST "MOVE OUR 'MONEYMAKERS'" CHALLENGE: Let's all start (or continue) to move our 'Moneymakers' (aka tushies) in August! Starting date is August 1 and we'll track/share in the accountability thread. Try to even come up with fun, new spins for your exercise…

WOOT WOOT, Howie! Thanks for joining our motley crew :)

YAY Hammer & Jen!!! Small steps lead to giant leaps

@jenniferyounginillinois Jen, I LOVE your videos (& YOU)! In August I'm starting a "Move Your Moneymaker" Challenge ... Please join me. You can always start with simply drinking more water, & your 'moneymaker' will be moving you to the loo more often (& we'll count that as exercise) lol

@krazyforyou ... As I'm the new Missy here, I'll take the blame! Lol :D Hey, we gotta stick together, right? I've got your back, Sister. <3 xoxo

May I just say that I'm new to this group (not to ULC) and I ADORE this sub-group!!! You Gals are such a blessing. Hugs to you all! ~ Deb <3

I'm baaaaccckkkl! :) Sending love & encouragement to all my "Tribe".

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS to our gal Jen (or as I affectionately call her: Slimmy McSlimmerson)!! Sending a load of cheers, a bundle of hugs & a box of virtual suspenders to keep those britches up, Girl! Xoxo ~ DebSue

Well Kim, I bit the bullet & bought myself some super snazzy yellow safety glasses to wear before bed to help me sleep, like you suggested! My husband is laughing his head off at my chic new pre-bedtime look

Miss Heron, are you, Kim & myself the only ULC (keto) gals in this group? Just curious, as I'm in the process of tweeking my macros & would love some "go-to girls" to perhaps bounce questions off of if I find myself on a ledge ready to jump. Lol

This made me laugh a little too hard! Cheers to all my pals this Monday. You all are AWESOME! ~DebSue

Thank you, John! This actually inspired me to do some sprints today :)

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! This is exactly what I was looking into :) Love me some keto & have great respect for Kiefer. Will surely watch tonight. ~ DebSue

Jen, I love watching your jaunt vlogs! You are an inspiration indeed :) For the past couple of days it's felt like I had swallowed a handful of razor blades, so no jaunting for this girl :( Still a bit whoosey, but am going to do a mini-jaunt, just to get moving again. As they say: slow & steady wins the race ;) Hugs &…

Yay!!! Thank you SO Much :smile:

You all are such joys to know! I adore hearing about your days ... (the challenges, triumphs, observations & encouragements). As for me, I'm basking in the delight of day #5 ULC (which means loss of cravings & appetite) :) YAY! This Old Gal has also been Jaunting for Jen & hydrating to the hilt these past few days. Like…

Happy Saturday, Guys! Go get 'em ... :) ~DebSue

I LOVE reading about all our individual journeys ... No competion/comparison (just encouagement)! I adore us! Lol :) As for me, I'm attempting to offer myself the same grace & support I try to extend to others (easier said then done, on occasion). The old compulsive me would have turned my "joyous jaunt" into a mandatory 7…

Okay kids, I've released & maintained over a hundred pound "fat drop" by refusing to be "compulsive" (weighing, exercise & major food 'rules'). It's still a struggle, as I tend to be an all or nothing kind of gal! Lol :) Anywho, I plan to "empower myself to succeed" by doing things which have proven to make my own bod…

Simply to empower myself to succeed ... (Yep, that is indeed me running).

"Starting early to avoid the rush" ... Yep, that's me a jauntin' & a sippin' (water that is) & countin' those carbs! Yikes, I think I just dislocated my shoulder patting myself on the back. Lol! :) Happy New Years Eve, Guys. ~DebSue

Catapulting myself back on the wagon! WOW, eating all those carbs were NOT worth it, as my appetite & cravings are back with a vengeance :( Oh Well ... Today is a NEW DAY & I do believe I hear the themesong to Rocky playing faintly in the background! Terrific Tuesday Y'all. ~DebSue

ROFLMBO, John!!!! You made my day :)

Every party has a pooper ... But it's NOT me! Count me in Jenn :) YAY for us.

I've got my nose plugs, swim cap & water wings ready for another challenge (notice I didn't say bikini). :) Been inspired to hit my water goals daily & it seems to make a HUGE difference in appetite & fluid retention. Thanks Miss Carol for the original challenge! Muah!

WELCOME HOME to Aaron's Precious wife! Well Guys, Olive Garden went swimmingly last night, Hallelujah! Having the sauce over brocolli instead of pasta was totally yummy. It felt good to stay true to my "eating conviction." :) Today is my Carb Nite, so a sinfully decadent gourmet caramel apple will soon be finding it's way…

Thanks to this group, for 2 weeks I've been guzzling water like Otis (from the Andy Griffith Show) guzzles moonshine! You all are a good influence on me ...
