I tried running a couple of months ago, and couldn't sustain it for more than a few minutes at a time. But last month I tried jogging, and have been doing it every day since. I started at 4.8 mph, for 10 minutes, with a goal of doing 30 minutes straight. Now I do 5 mph, for 45 minutes straight. Start at a reasonable pace…

I'm with you on this. I'm 9 lbs. from my goal, with 41 lbs. lost, and I still feel fat.

Thanks, Nancy! I try to remind myself sometimes that atleast I don't have to nag him to work. It definitely could be worse. I might take some new pictures on Friday and make a before-and-after progress collage. Maybe it'll help my mind.

Thank you, Connie! I made that my profile picture hoping for it to motivate me each day. I think there's just a mixture of things getting me down. The house thing gets more disappointing as it goes along, my husband is a workaholic who dismisses me 90% of the time if I try to talk about something(he works from the couch so…

Oooh! I'd love to try one of yours. :) I tried making them many years ago, and they didn't spread out for some reason, they ended up as weird little not-so-snickerdoodle cookies. I'm glad everybody seems to be chugging right along. I'm feeling pretty off the last couple of days. I'm going to blame being out of school, and…

Cute dress! I bought a fancy little white dress with the purpose of wearing it at my wedding reception the year before last, it was too tight though so I didn't. I kept it thinking I'd wear it for one of our anniversaries eventually. Well I tried it on today, and it's a little too loose, and by the time our anniversary…

You look fantastic! And I love your style, you're rockin' it!

Thank you for this post. I loved reading every bit of it. And your success is so wonderful!

If you have strict dedication, it's definitely possible. You look fantastic! I love the Puuump Daaay shirt. :)

Janice, I hope your sister recovers quickly. Pneumonia is a scary thing, keep your faith strong and visit her often. Marie, I love love love beans. I wish I could eat them all day long, if only they were lower in calories. But I think you're getting great benefits from all the protein. :) Esther, just say you lost 27 lbs.…

That is beyond impressive! Wonderful job, and I fully agree with your love and recommendation of MyFitnessPal. I love it too!

Haha, that does sound like more fun!

OK I am going to go find a walk in freezer.

Thanks, Connie! By the way, 2,000 calories sounds so great, I hope it works for you, that's a good bit of food. :) Marie, I can't stand people like that on the road! What a jerk to behave that way. I'm glad they only hit the mirror and didn't knock you all around. I'm glad you all got home safe and that you had a good day…

I'm with you on this, it's not fair! :'(

I smiled when I saw the back zipped up in the "after" photo. :)

I love what you said there, enjoy the process. :)

Yes! I am in the same boat as you.

Thank you!! :)

Surprisingly we haven't gotten any rain here yet. But it's been chilly all day so I think we're going to get some rain over night. I didn't turn on the TV until a few minutes ago so I got a lot done today. :) Got all my cleaning done, washed the bed linens, put away laundry, getting ready to hang another load to dry, and…

Awesome job! You look fantastic!

Congratulations!!! That's very exciting!

You look so happy!

I'm excited to see the results! I'll need to go back to the beginning and see what my starting number was the for July challenge, I can't remember. I haven't been over to the 4th of July board in a while, I've just been over here with you all. I feel like I get all the important stuff from over here though. :) But I think…

Connie, I hope you have a relaxing Sunday! I'm excited to see what your experiment brings you. I think we'd all be jumping up and down if you started seeing results like Marie's! Shirley, thank you! We need luck with this weather! I've been monitoring the forecast, and I was thinking we'd probably be cleared for Saturday…

Great work! I love banana and coconut anything!
