I was so excited when that happened for me!

Nice! My trainer asked "Why are your squats so shallow?" My answer was knee pain. One day I hope to do low squats too!

You are a Wonder Woman! LOL

I think this is awesome! Vacations (to me) are about taking a break and allowing yourself to indulge a little bit. The best part is WANTING to get back on track and finding it easy to do so! :)

I'm surprised by how many more dishes I have to wash because I'm cooking healthier meals!

I have an app that encourages me to get up and move every 45 minutes (otherwise I'll find out I've been sitting at my desk for three hours without getting up once!) Just now it told me to do 10 knee pushups. Normally, I do pushups against the wall because I'm 300 pounds and floor pushups just ain't gonna happen! But I've…

I am genuinely upset that it's raining outside because I want to take a walk! *Wanting* to exercise on purpose is a new thing to me!

I was able to remove my bra band extender!

GOAL: I would like to take a small break every two hours at work to walk around the building.

59.3 miles. I can see Farmer Maggot's fields up ahead. Do you think he'll notice if a few of his cabbages and carrots go missing?

This is inspiring to me ... I can only do them against the wall now, but the mere thought of eventually being able to do them on my toes makes me giddy!

Six and a half more miles. Pippin says we've gone too far South. He's such an insufferable know-it-all.

6-1/2 more miles for 45 total miles. I got to see elves! I've heard stories but never seen them before.

I pretty much don't buy anything advertised as "diet", "reduced calorie", "lower fat" things when there's a full-fat version of it (except for Diet Coke!)

This is one of my motivators for getting more fit! I'm taking my son to Disney in January and want to be able to get on all the rides with him!

I'm lying back in my lounge chair on the patio reading my Kindle, and I can't stop playing with the loose fabric at the top of my thighs on my jeans.

I didn't need to use the seat belt extender on the plane over the weekend!!!

39 miles since leaving Bag End. We're in a wood of ancient oaks and hiding inside a large tree. Two days ago we had a horrifying experience! A rider dressed all in black was on the road behind us. The air felt wrong and we felt we should hide off the road. The creature (for it was no man) slowed down near us and sniffed…

23.5 miles since leaving home. I've almost walked a marathon! The road just goes up and down and up and down and up and down. Pippin talks too much. I'm hungry.

I had a mouth full of water when I read this. I might need to replace my keyboard!

The last two weeks have been ... let's call them challenging. Work conference followed by full-blown flu. Once I felt I could eat again, I ate ALL THE FOOD! But at least I didn't gain all the weight back, so there's that. This week I just want to get back on track. MINI GOAL: I am most proud of doing it. Not just saying…

It's our big conference this week which means 12 hours days. My only goal is to make it through to the weekend!

9.63 total miles. I can no longer see Hobbiton. I guess this journey is real.

Name: Jerri Lyn Height: 5'4" Starting Weight (3/3): 299.2 Goal Weight (3/31): 295 3/3: 299.2! Yay me! 3/10: 299.8 3/17: 3/24: 3/31: Loss/gain for the week: +.6 Loss/gain for the month so far: +.6

My goal was never to be thin. I can see the trainers at the gym resisting rolling their eyes when they ask for my weight loss goal and I tell them that getting healthy is my goal; if weight loss happens as a side effect then I'm happy with that, too.

Weigh In day this morning! Name: Jerri Lyn Height: 5'4" Starting Weight (3/3): 299.2 Goal Weight (3/31): 295 3/3: 299.2! Yay me! 3/10: 3/17: 3/24: 3/31: Loss/gain for the week: Loss/gain for the month so far:

As I lose weight in my face, the family jowls become more prominent. :\

I'll do this too. My weigh-in days are on Tuesdays. Name: Jerri Lyn Height: 5'4" Starting Weight (3/3): Goal Weight (3/31): 295 3/3: 3/10: 3/17: 3/24: 3/31: Loss/gain for the week: Loss/gain for the month so far:

Still in Hobbiton. I just crossed the plank bridge.
